Rough Copy FeedbackBy Chloe Chorlton

GROUP 035• The group answered yes and no to

knowing our USP and that all our teaser conventions had been met. As this is our rough copy, we knew that not all the conventions had been met which is an improvement point that they have made saying ‘sound and titles’.

• The table shows mixed views on our product as they have given us excellent for our use of mise-en-scene but good and ok reviews on our camera work and editing. This however shows that we need to improve our editing skills and the trailer further.

• We already knew that our sound was not finished as we were working on it at the time so ticking the poor box does reflect our sound at that moment in time.

GROUP 031• This group knew that this was a

teaser trailer straight away by their feedback saying that the length of it showed the correct conventions. This is good to see as we did not want to alter the length of the trailer.

• The table shows a lot of positive feedback towards our product as all the boxes have been ticked good, except for one which could be either good or ok. They also gave many detailed positive points like the pull focus shot, pace of the trailer and our mirror editing.

• Unlike the other groups, they did not compare the sound as much as they knew it wasn’t finished but liked what we had already. Instead they gave us feedback about our shots that could be more varied and also about how our last shot should just be the characters eyes. These are good criticism points that we took on board.

GROUP 032• The USP is mentioned by this group

that it is very obvious what we are trying to achieve. As our USP is dance, we have tried as much to display this but not make the whole trailer based solely around this factor.

• The table reviews again show mixed views as it is 50/50 good and ok. One of the ok ticks was about sound but we knew this would be a reoccurring low point as it is not finished, which they have mentioned with an arrow next to the boxes. Again we had lots of positive feedback but this groups constructive feedback was one of the better ones. The said that some of our shots were too long and that the story line needed to be clearer. These are points that we could change and were very helpful. They also mentioned that we needed idents and titles which again we knew but it was good to be told.

GROUP 036• The USP was also very clear to this

group as they noted that they understood that it was a dance film but again also that it was a thriller that none of the other groups noticed. As they were the only ones that noticed, we took that on board as a factor that needs to become clearer.

• This group missed out mise-en-scene but we would thing that this would be good as that understood that our USP was dance. They like the other groups said that our piece was good/ok with sound needing work on. This group gave a lot of strengths and weaknesses such as good lighting with the silhouette shots and building tension. They also told us what needed to be done such as idents, sounds and titles. One point that was made that we felt needed to be addressed was the fact that the mirror shot with 2 different reflections needed to be clearer as the shot was so wide, it was not as clear.

CONCLUSION•All groups gave a lot of good feedback

that made us feel confident without product so far but they also gave us a lot of constructive criticism that is easily changeable and will make our teaser trailer a much better and professional product.
