Rough cut and audience response

this is our final rough cut which is the first production that we edited before we considered any changes and we all though that our sequence would be a success. we had mathced our target and set the atmosphere that would entice our target audience.

On Thursday 18th March 2010 we showed our opening to our class mates.

This is the feedback we got:

• interesting and good
• attracts audiences
• excellent soundtrack, it goes with the timing of the titles
• titles look professional
• good effect on the dancing adds to the drunk effect
• the "wasn't always like this" needs to be recorded again
• some scenes are too dark and needs to be re-shot
• cannot tell the narrative
• make the main title last longer
• make drugs last longer

we will be taking this feedback and using it to improve our opening.

Improvements we are making:

• taking out the wasn't always like this or re-doing it
• re-shooting today the dark scenes
• adding extra shots to the drug scene to make it longer
• making the titles last longer

we wanted to make the audience not know the narrative so that they can try to just what is going to happen in the film and so that they can try to link the characters together. we mainly wanted the audience not to know the narrative so that they would be attracted and interested to find out what happens in the film.
