Class feedback

Generally speaking, feedback for our film was, on the whole, quiet positive. There were a number of positive and optimistic comments, ranging from “Very good,” to “I LOOOVED IT!” This amount of positive feedback certainly raised our spirits and pointed out parts of the film were exceptional.

However, there were, as a counterpoint to this, a fair share of negative comments, but comments which were, we feel, designed to be seen as constructive, rather than destructive. A key issue bought up in the feedback was the issue of the sound, with comments such as “Parts of the dialogue is unclear,” and “I couldn’t understand much of what was being said.” This negative aspect, or outcome, of the film was an issue which we were aware of, and was made all the more apparent based on the feedback collected, but this was an aspect that was simply out of our control. If this negative aspect of the filmmaking process has taught us anything, it is this – to be always be prepared, and to never leave anything to chance.

The class feedback has been an opportunity for us to A) see where our strong points in our filmmaking styles lie, and B) to make sure that mistakes of this calibre are not repeated in the future, and to refer to this unfortunate occurrence as an example of what not to do in filmmaking.
