Main Task:First Rough Cut Feedback

Initially, I showed a group of 10 students. These were their thoughts:

  • The vast majority enjoyed the opening, particularly because the narrative seemed interesting and established a clear beginning to a story. 
  • However, the general consensus was that although they enjoyed it, there was some confusion and misjudgment of the narrative. The audience were aware of a potential murder or death, but didn't necessarily understand how that tied with the main character and his family. So, ultimately, the narrative wasn't clearly established. 
  • Some people pointed out that the performances, primarily the lead character were strong and enabled the audience to become emotionally entrenched with the character. Therefore, this clearly indicated to them that the death is significant for the main character. 
  • Another issue was that in the opening half, there was a lot of background noise, which required some removal. This was mainly noticeable during the scene with the news reporter outside (due to the wind) and the scene in the kitchen (due to the droning noise, which is from an electric kettle). 
  • Additionally, another issue with sound was that the news reporter spoke very quickly and it was difficult to understand. 
  • Furthermore, the titles implemented seemed to follow conventions, but may need some tweaking.
