The feedback we had was constructive and raised some issues we as a group didnt notice but also some feedback was expected, such as the length of the film.

feedback

• group 65
• Where appropriate the shots were held steady most likely on a tripod, good use of equipment.
• All the shots are well framed with nothing being excluded from the shots
• There were a few different shots used with the most effective being the panning between the locations
• The mise-en-scene was occasional with the most noticible bein the change in attmosphere when the charcacter was in the lift.
• The editing was a bit random and the meaning and it was very short at only 52 seconds.
• not many different effects and transitions were used.
• Sound was well edited inbut was confusing as it changed so much
• Were no titles.
• Overall the film was well put together but I was not entirely sure what was happening,

Group 64:

The shots were good, for example, the panning when Matthew ran into the shot. The music was good, however, there was no music for the first few shots. There were no sound effects that we could tell. When the 'bully' shouts at the other guy (main character) the audio is cut short abit and it does not flow smoothly. The change in mood is very good from calm and relaxed to panicy and fast when the main character starts getting chased. It would suit a PG film. There were no costums that we could tell. You could have used clothes that told us more about the characters e.g. dark clothes for the bully to show he is bad. There was also no title to the film. the use of the no entry tape to the lift was effective and made it seem realistic and creates mystery. it also tells the audience he is not supposed to be there. however, this may teach the audience bad morals.

Group 63:
The shots were held still when needed to be. The music was good but only seemed to start after the first few scenes. The film only being 54 seconds long does not really give us an indication on what the film will be about.The effect at the end of the film was good as it looked mysterious and made the viewer want to know what is happening. The ripping down of the tape on the door worked very well and looked very effective. No costumes or props were used which may deter younger children from watching the film as it may bore them.

Group 62-
1) most shots were very steady however a few were sometimes shaky.
2) They included all of the elements they needed
3) very high uses of many different shots.
4) Yes.
5) lighting is good- odin supposed to be bully, however costume doesn't fit.
6) editing in the elevator was good- could tell he was in a different setting.
7) they used many different shot types and transitions.
8) sound fits- however soundtrack sometimes didn't.
9)many different credits, looks professional.
