Feedback from rough cut film

After showing the rough cut of the beginning of our short film, we good some very good feedback from our audience. 5 people agreed to watch the film and give us some feedback on what they think, and how they think it could be improved. All the pparticipants claimed that the shots and angles were very good in term of our genre of the film. The also loved the location that we filmed in and the character used to be the protagonist, they said these two factors suit the genre of the film the most. They even claimed that they havent even as good shots as we used in any other A2 short film! However, 2 people said that they didnt really understand the plot of the film and what it is leading to, they advised us to change some shots in order to lead the audience in what you want them to think. They claimed if we do this, it will be one of the best twist they have ever seen from a paddington academy group of A2 students!
After we gathered this information, our group had a intense discussion in what shots to change in order to 'make the audience think what we want them to think', as one of the participants said. We came up with different ideas within our group of which shots to change and even thought about changing the order of the shots to make the twist better and create more tension into the 'hoodrat', which later in the film reveals that hes a 'runner'.

In adittion, we also created a survey from asking students from our school, what they think about footage and how do you think it could be better. We had many useful results such as; some students said that we should use the grey scale as we predicted to use in the film planning. also some students said that we should make the protagonists look more serious to create tension in the short film and so it does not reveal the twist in the film. however, most student said it was very good and if we keep working at this rate, we will hopefully recieve a greate grade in our a2 media coursework!
