Eleventh Day of Editing: Focus group for our rough cut

Today, we showed our rough cut to our media class:

We got some very constructive criticism back on our OTS:

1. Our titles of names of people who are in the Silent Temptation and who helped make it looked too much like the ending credits to a film, with the scrolling white font on a black screen, which obviously doesn't go with the conventions of an Opening Scene.

2. The gun shot is too short and comes to a sudden end which makes it sound unnatural.

3. Some of the scenes in our OTS linger for too long that it also doesn't look natural, Miss Humpleby described it as "Like in a dance you count the beats as to when you do your next move, you look like you're counting or thinking of when to move on in the clip."

4. Some of the sounds start and stop one after another and people don't hear things like that in real life. Music in the black and white titles seemed pointless and unnecessary.

Although, this focus groups main aim was to get criticism and find any improvements needed, we also got praise, they liked the style of lighting and the way is was clearly and crisply shot.
