Feedback

Overall, I think that the feedback we received was fairly helpful. We were happy to hear that most of our peers found our film opening to be humorous. One noted that, in particular, the Easter Bunny entering the scene was very funny. Many comments included positive feedback on the camera work, where the dramatic use of zooms, reverse zooms, and zoom-ins created a more comedic effect on the product. They liked the concept of our film and found it to be unique. Others found the dialogue to have a good flow and the transitions to be smooth. Some comments included a good use of mise-en-scene, such as the props and costumes. Although we had a lot of positive feedback, we also had some important negative feedback as well. Most, if not all of our peers mentioned the low sound quality of the film. They stated that some parts of the opening were quiet, however, when it was presented to the class, the volume was already on the low end of the scale. This quiet audio may have lead others to note that the sound was unclear. One comment included requesting the names, or the job titles found in the film, to be a different color. Even though some comments liked the dramatic facial expressions, which added humor, one comment thought the facial expressions were too loose. Others took note of awkward camera angles and unstable camera movements. To revise our film, we should most likely enhance and balance the audio. My partner claimed the sound of the film (which was done by iMovie) was adequate when listening to the film at home, often with headphones, but I believe we should look over the film once more and make some changes. We should also look over our job titles and change the color of some or all of the titles to make it more visible. While editing, we might also trim down some scenes that ran on too long. To fix the camera issues, we may have to reshoot some of our scenes, although this could be difficult in respect to scheduling and bringing back the actors to make the film consistent. We could use our editing software (we currently used iMovie) to try and resolve these issues, but if needed, we may have to reshoot.
