Why it was important to make a rough cut?
A rough cut of a scene or film is important to the making of the film as it allows a time for feedback on the rough cut which can help make the scene better, a rough cut can be used to transfer ideas from producers and directors and for them to see if they work well in the scene or not, which is valuable as without this the film could possibly be not as good as expected. The feedback that we received was from our peers who in which each group decided what they liked and disliked about each groups opening scene, and added some advice that could improve the opening scene. we presented our rough cut at quite an advanced stage in the production of our opening sequence, but still allowed for changes, our rough cut includes the sequence, which was edited, sounds which were also edited and the credits. This is why the presentation and feedback from our rough cut was important as we could help improve our opening sequence.
For the presentation of our rough cut we uploaded it to Youtube.
Why audiences feedback is important ?
To show our media class the rough cut we also produced a presentation which explained the basic narrative, the characters, the setting and our inspirations.
The audience's feedback is very important, it is very important because the target audience of our opening scene is who the audience of the rough cut are so the feedback will be very relevant
To our opening sequence. The feedback that we will receive will be reliable as our group is not providing feedback it is our peers who also know what would make our opening sequence better.
How we got received feedback?
After the presentation the class then watched our rough cut opening sequence. Once the rough cut had finished we asked for questions from the class about our rough cut.
Feedback
Peer Group Reviewing - To receive feedback and give feedback to other groups we filled in sheets that everyone was given, and after every group had presented we were given the feedback which stated what mark we were given by each group, what went well in our rough cut, and how it could be 'even better if'.
Mark out of 60 - We obtained a mark of 37-54 from our peers with an average of, 44. Overall this means that we are obtaining a Level 3 Band Rough Cut for our opening scene, and that some groups liked our rough curt idea more than others, which was to be expected, as not everyone likes the same things. To achieve the next band, we would need for marks more.
What Went Well? - The feedback we received from this part was mixed it included, 'Good use of camera angles', 'editing techniques', 'low key lighting', 'sounds and effects', 'characters chosen', 'conventions' and 'narrative'. These are all points that were said that our group done well in our rough cut. Some groups also stated that the narrative twist at the end of our scene went well in our rough cut, which was very positive for us.
Even Better If? 'Clearer narrative', 'credits too small', 'some shots made lighter', 'louder soundtrack', 'antagonists face was lighter at the end'. This feedback was very important as it shows us that for our final copy of the opening sequence we now know what parts of our rough cut we need to improve on to get a better grade, most of these issues were mistakes and were easily improved.
