GROUP: Audience Feedback - Final Cut

 
 
This is the final cut of our production piece. It has changed very little from our rough cut, the main difference being shot lengths as we have now cut to the music as we planned during the storyboard process. We also took the time in deciding what font to use for production credits and finally agreed on "Skin & Bones", deciding to continue the variation of colour between the two lines of action, despite criticism. We also decided to move the title of the film from it's original position, for fear of it looking too much like a trailer. We believe the end result to be satisfying and are proud of the final piece 

Feedback:
After sharing the rough cut with our classmates, we received this feedback:
  • People on the whole enjoyed our opening sequence, particularly showing interest in the two lines on action. As a whole, people said they'd continue watching
  • The use of masks was once again highlighted, being shown to be the scariest part of our production. The hanging scene also attracted interest
  • In general, people believed it "felt like a horror film", comparing it to other films such as "The Strangers" (Bertino, 2008) and "Funny Games" (Haneke, 2007), two films we researched for our production piece
  • However, there were still some qualms regarding the colouring of text. Text that appeared inside the car was in red to match the lighting, whereas the rest was plain white. Despite criticism, we believe that the colours of the text is not a problem
  • We also received comments regarding the face of the victim not being shown enough in our rough cut. We rectified this by adding an additional shot of the mother before the bag was put over her head
 
 
Evaluation:
 
We took into account the points made about our rough cut and acted on them with ease, presenting a far sleeker production. It was only after our initial final cut that we decided to change the position of the final title, but we believe this will benefit the production as a whole in the long run
