Pre-production: Audience testing rough cut

http://youtu.be/x8goO2J8oXc

We additionally also gave a questionnaire to 4 other people asking them to express their views. We consulted 2 females (Leah Tait 18 and Hannah Rumford 21) and 2 males (Tom Denny 19 and Theo Ellis 20) and these are their views:

What could be improved about the footage itself?
  • Some of the shots were a bit shaky so you could maybe reshoot these
  • A couple of the shots were on for a long time so you could cut these
  • It was very light in the outside shots so you might want to think of adding a filter 
  • I would vary the timing of the shots a bit more
What kind of music do you think should be added?
  • I think it would be good to add music that added emphasised certain parts of the opening
  • Something that built suspense and tension
  • Maybe some music that changed in volume throughout the opening
  • Possibly some fast paced music
Does the opening set a good tone for the rest of the film and represent the narrative?

  • Yes, I think I can clearly understand that this is the opening of a crime thriller with the use of props and different shots
  • The opening really made me want to see the rest of the film and intrigued me about the suspicious character
  • I thought the two narrative style worked together well as some shots were mirrored so this set a good tone
  • I really enjoyed the opening! I think you need a good piece of music to set the a mood for the rest of the film that represents the narrative 
These comments helped us get a good display of ideas to help us create our final production.
