response to rough cut feedback

After allowing every other group in our class to watch our project so far, we received some very positive feedback along with some ways in which we could improve it.

Positive feedback:
Editing: Good range of shots from in and out side of the car.
good use of transitions especially when the car pulls up into the yard.

Camera work: The car lights worked well and gave off a good source of lighting. for example the headlights as the man walks out of the barn to the boot of the car,
headlights drawing closer almost to cover the whole screen
good range of camera angles.

Sound: Soundtrack fits the piece well
Good use of diagetic sound at the beginning to create tension.

Mis en scene: the setting used was effective and worked well
the minimalistic use of mis en scene reflects the spookiness the audience are supposed to feel.

Narrative: it is simple but still good for and opening sequence.


Things to improve:
Editing: more transitions could possibly make it a bit more interesting.

Camera work: quite repetitve- similar shots.

Sound: more use of diegetic sound could be used- of the car.
