Audience Feedback

This week we had the first show case of our opening sequence to students in our class. This was an interesting experience as we were showing what we had done so far to people that didn't know anything about our story. 
The only opinions that we had gotten so far was from our teachers.  


Through doing this exercise we realised that the feedback we got consisted of a majority of people not really understanding the storyline. This was predicted as the opening sequence was not finished and the vital part of the story was not seen as of yet. Anna commented on the fact that the split screen had a really good effect and was interesting but by then end, of what she had seen not he end of the sequence, it had gotten slightly boring. This was something that I really took on board as we didn't want our sequence to be boring although we now we have a lot of the same action. 


The positive outcome of this was that a majority of people complemented us on the editing of the split screen. I think that our sequence relies on the split screening so the fact that the audience liked it and thought it was unique and interesting was really good. Lucy commented on the fact that what we shot could have been boring but the way in which we had edited it made it more interesting. This was a comment that i was pleased about because the main thing we didn't want to do was to bore our audience because it is a lot of the same action of a Tramp walking through London. She had also mentioned that she was able to clearly see who our main character was, this was another one of our objectives.We also had a few comments on the continuity which they thought was good. A lot of people came back writing that there was a good use of location. Eva also illustrated that the costume and mise-en-scene was nice and complemented our story, even though she was unclear of what it was. 


As mentioned before it was interesting getting everyones feedback to what they had thought  so far. I think some of the comments we would really concentrate on as we have now realised were the person was coming from and saw certain aspects of shots differently.
