Audience feedback and improvements - Natasha McGill

Audience feedback and improvements

After we had finished our film opening we had an audience feedback lesson where we watched our class mates film openings and we evaluated them saying what we thought was effective and good and what could be improved on. When we got our feedback back there was three major improvements that came up quite frequently and these were:

• change the orientation of our home-made production company 
• the lighting of some shots could be darker as they thought it was too bright
• changing the title at the end because it didn't fit well into our genre so didn't conform to conventions of usually titles for supernatural horror and the way it zoomed in and out before didn't fit well with our genre

Here below was a screenshot of what I done to make these changes which was to make the shots darker, the shots that was already dark didn't need altering and some angles made the shots darker already so I only changed all the shots that was necessary. Although on some shots making them darker meant the image wasn't very clear so I only altered the shots that still looked at a good quality still being darker.

 

 

Now that the shots are darker, this does add to the effect of it looking creepier because with the dark misty linger in the air, this does look more professional than previously it looked like pure bright daylight. When we first edited our film opening the shots were made darker because they were originally very bright but having watched it a few more times and with our audience feedback we realised that the shots can still go a bit darker.
