A2 Coursework Final Draft; Beyond Reality

This is the final cut of our A2 Coursework after making changes to our rout cut from information gained on our audience feedback.

Audience Feedback on Rough Cut

We got feedback from a fair few people, and we realised that some patterns emerged in what people were saying. See below all of our feedback comments: Some of the most common things said were what we expected, e.g. background noise on some clips is quite prominent, the narration comes in too fast, some repetition. We knew when we finished our rough cut that some of these things would be said, as they were things we were not happy with ourselves. In response to these, we plan to edit our film best we can to improve it e.g. stabilise some clips, reduce the background noise, and add some more fades and transitions to slow down the narration.

Rule of 3 - this isn't a type of shot exactly, but we did think about the composition of our characters within the frame e.g. when they are sat on the bench talking and during the time lapse Time-lapse - we did two of these and they worked well, this is where a long period of time is sped up into a few seconds. Close-ups - this is where the camera zooms in close to a person, usually the face. We did this during the city location. This ...
