Rough Cut Evaluation and Improvements




Here are the comments made by our class:

Improvements

Remove car sounds
Add dialogue scenes + news reports for narrative exposition and characterisation
More sound effects
Bus stop scene – Strobe lights in pinnacle and sound effects
Start with disruption, then create pace and drama to separate parts

Good Elements

Lots of good shots, but needs to be more like a trailer
Music creates atmosphere
Lots of enigma, too many
Add more colour filters such as Chroma key to wash out certain colours
Obvious people are dead and the world is desolated

From this we have established that we have a good variety of shots, as well as some action scenes and establishing some narrative. However, we must add more trailer conventions such as narrative voice-overs and dialogue, with additional action montages that will really enable an audience to grasp what the film genre is, what conventions it might follow, and most importantly what the story consists of.

We are currently at an early stage in the editing process as we have not got all of our shots and we are trying to put the trailer in a structure which makes good sense and flows well - this will be accomplished by integrating some of the above.
