Response to Feedback

Posted by Lisa Mitchell;-

In response to the feedback that Annabell collected yesterday from friends and our teacher, we have successfully finished the editing of our movie opening.

We edited our chosen song according to the sound effects and ambient sounds that we had initially decided to use, by lowering the music when the sounds were playing and fading them back in when appropriate.

We slightly changed the colours of our captions as they were too difficult to see on the black background.

Feedback:

Mrs. Downes;
- Caption colour red on black is very difficult to read
- Escape very like the caption shouldn't it start at more perhaps?

Gabby:
- she looks like she is moving to fast
- when the title comes up all the disappears maybe it should fade?
- phone needs to ring
- so sound?!
- should be longer

Annabell:
- no sound when he walks into the secound room
- a to fast movement from Kim's head
- to much black background
- (he's back?!) sounds a little bit weird, because you can't see anything
- Escape more forward to the ( he's back sound)

evaluation questions:

· In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

- you can see, that the product is made by students. It is not like a very good film from an very good producer.

· How does your media product represent particular social groups?

- it presents social groups in a very nice way, because with the block you can see, that it is very good, when you work with another person on it. It shows, that we are a social group in our media class.

· What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

- maybe the persons who thinks that our block and our media work is good.

· Who would be the audience for your media product?

- all the people who like to watch a scary and horror story.

· How did you attract/address your audience?

- with the other stuff which we have posted on our block. with the ideas and all the other stuff.

· What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
- that it isn't so difficult to make a little trailer. At the beginning everything is very difficult and new, but after a while you get used to it. And you start to undestand the program.


· Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

- the trailer, which we have produced in the last 6 weeks, you can see, that everything is much more professional and we have a different screnery, better actors and a very good story. Everything is much better and very interesting.

Today, after going through our film, we have cut down our caption pages and have decided to get some more footage tomorrow of our main character Henri to add a bit more to inform our intended audience about who he actually is.

We are also planning to update our original storyboard as many of our shot ideas have change since our initial plan.

We are still in desperate need of a background song to accompany our video footage.

Feedback

Posted by Lisa Mitchell ;-

After getting feedback we have begun to edit the film that we have. We have realised that our captions take up too much time and therefore makes our clip boring. We are going to do a little bit more filming inside Gordonstoun House in order to make the clip amount to a total of 2 minutes without using too many caption shots and shortening the ones we already have.

I think our story is clear enough but more filming definately still needs to be done.
Fedback:

-sound levels need to be sorted
-sound at 00:3:14 missed
-very difficult to rea the titles/ on screen to long
-sound requiered behind the action track 1:01:19
-1.09 sound needs adjusted-hissy-
-the captions are too long on screen
-"Escape" needs to be centred
-need to be able to use photoshop
