Feed-back for final cut

Good logo + music
Good freeze frames
Unsteady camera shooting
Didn't understand what was happening always
Good soundtrack
Use of low shots works well
Nice titles introducing characters
Like the bag idea. Park bench bit
Two women seem to be the main characters
A lot of questions have arisen from the opening which is great as it makes you want to watch on- eg what's in the bag, who's that? ect.
Simple and eerie to follow linking well to what the film would include.
Titles are clear, stills add variety
Not enough close ups.
Music mysterious
Cou;d understand the story line
Quite simple yet effective title font
Music very effective for building tension
Good acting and editing
Slightly brief
Does NOT milk it
Could have used a filter or two
Good setting
Quite easy to identify the protagonists
It shows micro elements of clothing, the women high authority yet the others looked suspicious
You want to know whats in the case and who the characters are.
Good use and variety of shots
Audience addressed well. Sense of mystery + intrigue in your sequence

Teacher Comments

Further to our conversation in class, action points to take forward from the rough cut to final cut include:

- More footage for a longer sequence. You should be shooting for a total running time of approximately two minutes.
- Add your production company logo to the start of your sequence.
- Add titles (credits etc.). Remember, your final cut needs to look like an opening sequence
- Take care with continuity editing (try to achieve matches on action, avoid jump cuts, use shot reverse shot during conversations, observe the 180 degree rule etc.)
