First Draft Presentation & Feedback.
The main objective of our film opening was to get our audience to laugh, and engaged to a lighter style film - simply because it is a comedy therefore we didn't want it to be too intense. I believe that we managed to achieve this, because when our classmates watched our film they found it to be quite amusing. Although, that could just be due to the fact they saw the boys dressed up in ridiculous costumes, but either way thats what we wanted. If we look at the technical aspect of things however, there are many things that we could improve on.
The majority of feedback that we recieved was regarding our match-on-action, and how we needed to clip our scenes together in a more affective way. Also some small errors were brought to our attention, with someone making the point that the end wasn't quite making sense the way we had matched the voiceover with the film. On a positive note there were no jump cuts.
We were complimented particularly on the use of voice over, which somewhat made the piece fit together, giving it that comedy edge. However, due to a sound error whereby we didnt pre-empt the traffic noise overpowering the actors voices, we had to voice over a conversation. The lip syncing section is obvious to most people, however we tried to make it as accurate as possible. We were unable to film again, so we had to make do with what we had.
When we showed our first draft there were barely any titles or credits. We decided to add the film title at the end because it was the most logical place to put it as it flowed best. At this precise time there were also a few voice overs that needed to be put in, or edited. This was a point we made sure to note down to improve the final cut.
There was also an issue of poor lighting that people noted, so on this particular scene where we are using a low angle shot we increased the gamma and then the contrast in attempt to not make the colours look washed out - it was the best we could do to manipulate it and make the lighting more balanced. This did make some improvement, but again the lighting was commented on after this was done. We ensured to note that more manipulation of this image was needed in order to make it fit in with the following shots.
The music that we used was complimented as it fitted in well with the tone of the film. We had been told to turn the volume down on certain bits where speech was also present and hard to hear because of the loud music. Our voiceovers were the thing that made our film effective, without them, the film would of lacked impact. There is a point where the music cuts off in order for some speech to be heard, this was said to be a little odd. However the sounds from the background are suprisingly effective and really add to the scene.
Our mise-en-scene was commented on in many ways. IT was uncontrolled because it didn't entirely fit in with the theme of the film. The dance poster was said to look a bit out of place on the large white wall. The group agreed that the mise-en-scene wasnt perhaps up to scractch, especially sam's costume that wasn't planned properly. But due to the conditions and locations we filmed in we agreed that there was not much we could do to improve without filming the whole thing again. Besides this, our positive aspects of the piece did outweigh the negative.
