Final Edit - Evaluation

 Changes

Chris and I have now completed our final edit. We took on the feedback from our second draft to try to make our opening sequence better. We did try to make the titles more visible but it is hard to do because of the lighting from filming. We also both feel that the lighting suits our production so its not something that we want to change. We have however moved the Gilchrist Films title slightly so it is more visible onto the background. We have also added some leaf sound effects for when I am walking along because we felt that previously the sound was too focused on the music and you can't hear any diegetic/ambient sound. We have also managed to get the leaf sound effects to sync in with my footsteps aswell as having the sound effects fading in and out depending on which direction I am going in accordance to the camera. We have also used some new titles with a different font. These titles now have different names other than just mine and Chris'. We have also added some new roles in the title sequence that we didn't previously have.

Final Edit

Second Draft - Audience Feedback

Chris and I gathered feedback on our second draft so that we can see if and how we could improve our opening sequence. We again asked our peers David and Guy to see if they like what we have improved aswell as gaining ideas on how to make our production better. Both David and Guy liked what we have improved based upon their previous feedback. This was in the form of the film titles at the end of the sequence. This is only a slight tweak to our first draft however it does have an effect as the sequence ends. David and Guy also liked the sound that we have used to accompany the end titles. This aswell helps to create a tense atmosphere as the sequence ends but it also fits perfectly with the end titles. This also is only a minor change but it still creates a big effect on the end of the opening sequence. They also liked how we make the piano music fade away at the end just before the new titles appear. Guy said "The way the music fades away at the end leads you to think that its just going to end there. But then the two titles appear with the loud noise. It kind of sends you into a false sense of security and it keeps the viewer on edge."
We have however also come away with a change that we can make for a third or final draft. This is for us to change the Production Company logos positioning and/or the colours of them. This is because at certain points it can be hard to read what the titles actually say. The screeenshot below is evident to this as the grey part of the films partially blends in with the background and it is hard to read it at first glance.

Second Draft

We have now created our second draft. We have improved this based upon the audience feedback from the first draft. Here are the changes we have made in our new draft.

Changes

We have now added in two more title screens at the end of our draft as this was requested from our audience. We have included this instead of the film just simply fading to black. This is something that we should have perhaps included right from the off but it is good know that we have included this. Over the top of these titles we have also added some lound noises for when they appear to add more effect and emphasis on the title. Also just before the end the music we have included gets quieter to add more of an eerie effect as I am reading out the note.

Film Titles - First Draft Feedback

Given the feedback we got from our first draft Chris has created two new title screens that we can use.

First Draft - Audience Feedback

Chris and I both decided to get audience feedback on our first draft to see how we could improve it for a second draft. We both have ideas ourselves on what we could improve but we also want to see what our audience would want to have improved because ultimately they are who the film is being made for so it should be what they want it to be.

Feedback

Chris and I have both gathered feedback on our first draft. We gained feedback from two of our peers David and Guy. They both found our production to be good and they both liked it. However they still had some things that we could change to make our production better. Guy said that he would like to see a title screen for the film which is something we don't actually have yet but we will look to make that and include it.
