Group: Audience Feedback on Wilderness Woods Film Clip

What techniques were particularly effective?:

• The way we sync'd our non diegetic sound with our shots - Helped to create tension
• Our establishing shots - Set the scene for the audience.
• Good cutting rate - We try to cut most of our clips with motivation so they flowed well.
• Narrative - Our story was simple but yet leading for the audience.
• 360 pan - Just after Freddie wakes up we include him looking to the sky with a 360 pan, this expresses his disorient of the situation.
• Visceral - Our sound as well as continuity style editing help keep viewers on edge.

Which techniques could be improved?:

• Lack of dialogue - We had no dialogue in our clip so it might of helped if we included some sort of dialogue between Freddie and the antagonist or even just a phone call.
• Eyes at bridge was too short - Our bridge clip was a very good idea but we didn't have enough footage to make it as effective as it could of been.

How can we use this information in our next filming task?:

• Group 7 used a very good scene involving a phone call which positioned us with the character, this would also allow us to include dialogue so we will take this into consideration when storyboarding for our next task.
• We were limited on filming time for this task so we knew we would have less footage than we wanted but we didn't realise how many takes we need of one scene so in future we will take a lot longer in making sure we have the correct shot.
