After completion of my coursework task, we all sat in the class and watched each others videos. After these screenings, we filled out certain criteria for each film and gave it a mark out of 5. To gain this feedback from my viewers, i created a questionaire (which i posted on this blog).
When i recieved the feedback i took everything into consideration. It was commonly stated that the storyline was confusing and blurry. I feel this is because certain parts of the footage were unable to be used due to the 2 minute time limit. However I had a lot of positive feedback from my target audience saying that the opening credits of the film. I am very pleased by this as I feel that the credits are the best part of my film, the part which I like the most.
Many people also said that one of their favourite shots of the film was one of the last shots, where the camera is on the ground and Nick is seen running away in the background, whilst the camera shows a picture of Sam on the LCD screen. However, people said that there wasn’t enough dialogue in the film, and that there needed to be more when the reach the chicken shed rather than walking straight in without saying a word. Looking back at the film after people had said this, I feel the same, as it is a little bit too quiet as they enter the shed.
Looking back at my film opening I feel that at the start of this course, I was very naïve. During this task I feel that I attempted to tell a whole story in the 2 minute time limit, rather than just the opening to a film. This is what I feel let my product down the most, as it took its toll on the storyline, which now, doesn’t fully make sense, and that is what lets my finished product down the most.
