finding ideas to help with our feedback to help us improve and to show mikeys feelings after he has seem to have killed john

Rough Cut Feedback

After receiving feedback about our rough cut film, we found that we need to improve the scene involving Mikey being bullied by John and make sure we focus in on Mikey's immediate feelings and his growing hatred towards John. We were told to decide how we were best going to portray these feelings but still leaving unanswered questions to engage the audience.

How else might you advertise your film?

One way we would advertise our film would be during advert breaks show a trailer. Since how many people watch television daily, it will be easy to attract the attention of the audience. We can specifically advertise the trailer in between breaks of another thriller or suitable sub genre's such as action/ horror as this is the kind of audience we want to watch our film. Furthermore we could advertise our film as adverts on the internet. There are more and more film advertisements on the side of websites now like Youtube. This would be a very direct way of advertising as it would immediately catch the user's eye. Lastly, we can also advertise the film in a local newspaper. You frequently see local cinema's advertise their films in local newspaper's and this will allow people who live nearby and read the paper to come and watch it.

what kind of cinema would your film be released in ?

Our film would be released in a small or independent cinema as it would be made on a low-budget and not backed by big companies. Therefore it would be more suited to an arts cinema like the Picture-house in Cambridge. This is because it was made independently, and we won't have the budget for it to be shown in a multiplex cinema.

Race Against Time Rough Cut

Plans for initial ideas

The fierst thing to do is to short out which clips we are going to use of our opening sequence. Then we will drag the correct clips on to the timeline so that we can edit them. The second is to put our thriller theme tune on to the timeline and to work out where the sound track should be playing in the background and where  the sound track be not be played ie when there is speech. Then we need to put all the titles and credits then and make sure that everything is complete. 

Plans for Initial Editing

The first thing to do is to watch all our clips we recorded from our filming day to see which will be the best clip to use. We will then select the best ones to put in the timeline, We will now add in the theme tune to help us decide how long it should go on for and when to fade it in and out. The final phase will be to make the moving from to scene to scene succint and run smoothly so it keeps the fluency and doesn't become confusing,
