CONSTRUCTION: FEEDBACK

Shots: During the editing for the film opening, we asked for feedback from our peers. We had very positive feedback in respect to the ident and the voice over reporting, people said that they liked this because it looked and sounded professional. However, we also received some very constructive feedback, mainly concerning our shots. One of the comments was that in Shot 2, as it is a long shot introducing another character, we could make the frame look as though it is a CCTV camera. We searched on YouTube for a green screen that would enable this effect. We looked at a number of different effects before we found the CCTV effect that suited our frame. 

Sound: At the end of our sequence we decided to add sound to a shot of an object dropping into the river. This was because we wanted to make the audience feel like what they were watching on screen was actually going on in real life. After a number of ideas of how we would make the sound, we decided that dropping a coin into a large sink which was filled with water might work. We used Voice Memos on an iPhone to record the sound. After adding the sound to the clip we came to the conclusion that this did not sound professional. A peer also watched the clip and agreed that we did not need the sound. We removed the sound from the production.
