Yesterday we showed our film to the rest of the group and our tutor for the last time before handing it in. Since the last tutorial we added another 3 minute sequence to the beginning of our film in a different location to Grindleford to help the explain the narrative of the film, whilst also including some of the cinematography elements we were required to include in the final film e.g. the interior lighting change. Apart from that addition, we stuck very carefully and precisely to our storyboards or shot lists that each individual had planned which made the editing process very straight forward as well as made us all clear on what we needed to set up for and film as soon as we were on location.
The group gave us some positive feedback mainly focusing on the POV sequences in both sections of the film. This was because it was very clear who the audience were identifying with from the start which made the film easier to follow. They also liked the use of lighting changes around the bag that the thief stole. They said it was clear that this was a symbolic item that held significance around the narrative and set up the plot for later in the film.
Improvements we could have made to the film include, in the first sequence, due to the exterior lighting and camera settings, we had to use gain on the camera for objects to be visible when filming, this caused considerable visual noise which was unintentional and lowered the professional quality of the film. Also the Grindleford footage we shot was on the wrong setting for the camera which makes the image look strange compared to what it normally should be.
