Teacher Feedback 2

After speaking to the teacher who gave us some feedback on our progress and how we can improve our opening. First of all we needed to decide how we where going to fill the last 40 seconds, we proposed some of our ideas, and then together we narrowed it down to one with the teachers input keeping in mind the convention of Film Noir. This then lead on to using the extra 40 seconds to make the female more of a violent and aggressive character, furthermore how we were going to film the actions. He advised us to use as many bold and daring shots as possible connoting the female’s dominance. The feedback given on our editing was, we needed to rearrange some of the shots, perhaps add some in to help it flow also we needed to keep in mind the length of each shot as there was no rhythm. Non Diegetic music was not thought of much, however we where told that a contrasting sound track would connote the violence seen on screen. I think that going and getting a teachers opinion on our work was a vital stage as it has allowed us to get the most from the shots that we had, also is a great learning curve to what problems we have faced and how we can improve.
