Rough Cut Feedback

Today we presented our rough cut film to our classmates and teachers. We received feedback so that we could make improvements to our film. There was a mixed reception for the film as it generated positive and negative reviews.



Shot at 1:13 was dramatic and effective, it allowed for a different angle as well as being realistic.

The lighting was perfect as it coincides with the plot and needs no editing to improve.

The antagonist was portrayed well and is obvious to the audience what is role is.

However some shots were shaky due to Maz forgetting to take the tripod with him when we filmed.

Another problem was that the protagonist was not clear and seems to be much more of a victim.

The video footage lasts 1.27 and therefore needs 33 seconds to meet the criteria; our video still needs credits and music.
