TH Reflection on Rough Cut

The rough cut that we exported from our project was peer reviewed yesterday. We received a lot of feedback from this session and it was quite useful for us.

-People were really enthusiastic to commend us on our lip syncing and instrument syncing. They believed that both of these crucial elements were addressed very well in the editing process.
-The whole performance part was received very well. The performance was very believable according to our peers.
-The contrast between the narrative and the performance lines of action was apparent; they flow very well separately and do not clash.

-One element of the performance that was highlighted by our peers was that perhaps there is a noticeable difference between the lighting in the shoot at the Oast Theatre and the one in the drama studio. This will have to be addressed by either incorporating less clips from one shoot or by altering the contrast and brightness of some shots.
-While the argument scene was well received on the whole, some thought it might be too confusing.
-Some of the earlier shots were too long; the cutting rate was an issue for our teachers in particular as they thought we could include more shots with a faster cutting rate.
-It was suggested we use effects to colour grade the footage, and we agree, because of this we want to experiment with having a lower saturation or tint on the narrative footage in order to show a clear contrast with the performance. If we have time we also want to increase the contrast on the whole video to make it more visually appealing.

We are at the stage where finishing touches are the main priority. With almost all of the footage on the timeline, visuals synced with audio and a linear progression all complete, making the video appear most professional is at the forefront of work in lesson time.
