Rough Cut Feedback

We had finished gathering all of the different shots that we wanted for our teaser trailer and put them in the right order so that we had a rough cut and people could start to see our idea. The idea of having a rough cut is to get feedback on the shots that we have already and then the feedback given can be taken into account and put into the final cut. This would let us know what people thought of our trailer so far and what they would like to see. Below are the suggestions and feedback given to us from others in our class:

1. Transitions- At this point we had not put a lot of transitions into our trailer and therefore there was not much continuity. We knew that we had to put more transitions between each of the shots to make it flow better and also look more professional. The group also pointed out that we must have transitions between almost every shot because we need to make it fast paced and look like a real teaser trailer.

2. Music- Music is a huge part of a trailer because it has to give off and create its own atmosphere. After not yet putting in the music that we had, it was very clear that it was missing. When the group was watching our feedback they noticed straight away that music was missing and without it, the trailer was very plain and boring.

3. Sound- There was one specific point in the rough cut teaser trailer that the sound needed changing significantly- the scene by houses of parliament where the two agents are talking. While we were actually shooting this scene we thought is was best to take it from three different angles. This worked really well for us because the shot and sound that we had originally had an excellent shot but poor sound. The feedback showed us that this had to be changed because if the sound quality. Therefore, when we are going to edit for our final cut, we need to take the sound from the other shots we took and make it in sync with the original shot.

These were the main parts of the feedback that needed changing desperately to make our teaser trailer have the right impact on the audience. We feel that the changes will work and will make our teaser trailer a high standard.
