In our lesson on the 15/11/11 we tested out a rough cut on the rest of the class. We had about 50 seconds of footage and this was some of the feedback we received from the class:
Initial reactions were that it made the audience smile and accurately showed a band of four lads having a fun day out which was a key element in our pitch. Other comments made were that it was authentic.
The advice that we were given from our peers was that we needed a range of shots i.e. more close-ups and some p.o.v shots.
In addition to this it was suggested that we have more static shots and a faster cutting rate. These things we were aware of before we showed the rough cut and we plan to address these in our studio shoot and, of course, by editing.
I think presenting a rough cut to the class was a very helpful exercise as it reinforced our thoughts on our project so far: e.g. the need for static shots and a faster cutting rate.
