Social Media Feedback.

To get a more general idea of feedback on our short film, we opening up to social media using sites such as Twitter and Tumblr. By using both these sites we got a general idea of the response to the film and ways in which we could improve it. However we did not receive a much feedback but those we did came down to two points.

Feedback received from Tumblr.

Feedback received from Twitter

A common suggestion from both social media sites included darkening the film as a whole in order to achieve a horror film feel as this would help convey the themes of the film.

Another point suggested is why the killer is doing what he is, in both Feedback sections this point was raised as people thought this would help the story 'depth' and also clear up the storyline that could be missed.

One by One - Finished product Feedback.

Feedback we received came down to 3 main points all of which we took on board and included:

• Work on sound - In terms of the sound of running and footsteps to which we will make more levelled out. However this was a work in progress.
• Remove the shot reverse shot - as it removes the 'scary' feel and makes the chase anti climatic. We have decided to take this into account and have decided to removed
• Remove the scream at the end of the video - the audience felt this was unneeded as it added a comedy value, therefore we decided to get rid of the scream.

Film Poster Pitch - Audience feedback/ Group response.

Here is the pitch we did to an audience regard what we plan to do for our short film, film poster.
The main aim of this pitch was to open up to the audience which film poster design they thought we should go with. the majority of the vote went to the film poster mock up idea number one as the audience felt it showed what our short film was about using the forest as a background as the majority of our short film takes place their.

However once we discussed this as a group we still preferred the mock up film poster idea number 2 but taking in account the audiences mention of the forest in the background we decided to somehow also include the forest in the second film poster, which led us to produce the poster below. As a group we felt this worked much better by include both the element of the evidence board and the forest, all locations and significant props were included. therefore we have decided that our film poster will follow the layout of the new mock up poster we have produced.

Formal Pitch - Feedback

Here is the video to the Formal pitch we did during lesson.

Overall we are pleased by our presentation, though we did not receive much feedback from the audience.

Feedback we received included questions about the time of day we will be filming which is around dusk however as this time does not last for long we will have to be clear as to when we are filming to ensure we do not miss this small window to film.

Formal Pitch

Here is our pitch that we presented to the class about the ideas we have for our short film. When presented in class our pitch was in powerpoint format however using iMovie we have changed it into a video for the purpose of this blog.
