The feedback I received from my peers, was mostly positive. When asked what they thought of my transactions between the credits and mobile phone protest footage, they said it worked well and tells the audience a lot about the storyline. Another person said that they liked how the opening sequence went straight into the story and opening credits.
I then asked my peers whether the different camera movements used, such as pans, fit into the British Social Realism genre that I was trying to convey in my film. They said yes, the camera movements are hardly noticeable. I will keeps these movements as they are as they seem to fit into the camera movements usually found in the genre.
I asked what I could maybe improve on in order to fit in with the genre of British Social Realism. In response, one person suggested that the jump cut should be taken out and an alternative shot should be used to replace it, this would fit into the genre as this type of editing is not often used. In order to make this section of the film look better and fit better into the British Social Realism genre, I took out one of the three shots used in the jump cut and replaced it with a credit.
Although I had different opinions on where my production logo should be placed I decided to keep it where it is in the draft as one person said it made it original.
In the shots of the news I was told by one person that I need to add features that are usually seen on the news, such as a clock, to make it come across more like a news report. I have taken this into account and will add subtitles, a clock and a logo in the news report to make the scene more realistic.
The last bit of feedback I received was that the transaction between the high power scenes to the slow morning scenes needed to be more distinguished so the audience knew that it is set back in time. In response to this suggestion I have increases the pace and intensity of the first half of my opening sequence, by making each shot shorter and adding more shots into it.
