Here is our teacher's feedback:
Improvements:
By
reading through our feedback we have realised that certain things could
be made clearer and we have decided to make improvements based upon our
feedback. Some feedback we got from multiple people was they were
unsure if the genre would be made clear in the film opening. We made our
genre a drama due to the serious topics covered in the film opening and
we will put emphasis on the icons and script we use to film to make
sure that the genre is as clear as possible. Also many people thought
that the film opening would seem more like a documentary than a feature
film due to the statistics. We listened to these feedback and decided to
only have 2 statistics in the beginning of the film relating these to
the characters, for example: '1 in 14 teenagers suffer with a
depression' we decided to have 14 students in the classroom and our main
character will be the one with the mental health disorder therefore
linking the statistics to the film. The music we originally chose was 'I
due fiumi' by Ludovico Einaudi however by listening to the feedback and
doing our own research we realised that due to the song being published
in 2001 it is copyrighted and therefore we wouldn't be able to use it.
Therefore we have decided to do some research and find other songs which
reflect the mood of the narrative and also are copyright free. A
comment that stood out for us was the establishing shot being boring. We
originally planned for the first shot to be of the classroom to
establish the setting however after listening to feedback we want it to
be more effective. Finally, many people said that our film opening
wouldn't leave room for enigma as we include a lot of the story line in
the first few minutes and also that there is no cliffhanger. Therefore
we decided to change the script slightly so that there is more mystery
and the film opening ends with the audience wanting to watch more.
