First Draft Feedback + Changes to be Made

On the 22nd we screened our first draft to the rest of our class for them to give feedback on our product, below are the questions we gave them to fill out to help us to improve with the general answers we received, and some charts showing some of the results.Judging on the feedback, changes we will make to our opening are to:
  • Shorten the length of the opening
  • Make credits slightly larger
  • Sound (deigetic and non diegetic) to be louder and incorporate it throughout the entire opening
  • Make the second half of the opening more enticing and interesting to watch, as it was too slow paced and quiet.

Technologies Used


  • iMovie - Used to piece together rough cuts of the opening so we knew which footage to use

  • GarageBand - To edit our audio on such as the voicemails (adding effects to make it sound like a voicemail as well as the beeps and order)

  • Final Cut Pro - This was the software on which we edited the footage and pieced everything together (lighting/colouring, cuts, credits).

Shooting Day - BTS

Because our film opening only has one location, we only spent a day in Hastings to film. Despite the location being a public area, there were not as many customers as we had expected, so the disruption when shooting was minimised. We had planned to use the Canon 700D for filming, but on the day we changed it to .... attached to a camera grip handle so tracking movements and steady shots were more stable.
