Rough Cut Screening

After we had our initial rough cut editing, Paul would arrange for the last tutorial class to have a screening in class to get feedback and opinions from everyone (including Robin ) on our student group film. Overall the feedback was very positive. Robin started off by saying that he loved the opening scene establishing the surrounding, sound and look of the creek. He loved the pace of the editing and advised us to not change the opening as it is well done and would be a shame if added music, atmos sound or anything in that sense as the music would be front and centre of the focus of the audience, being a distraction rather than our aim of establishing the creek as the focus of the film. Other few things that the class highlighted was the fact that some scenes where maybe better if they were cut short as it can be a bit draggy ( like the second and third awakening) and the roles of other actors as their performance were far from convincing. The focus would be better off on James. We’ll add these feedback into consideration when we’ll do our fine cut in these few days.
