When we'd nearly finished, we did a test screening with other media students as an audience, who gave us some really useful feedback about what we could change to make it better and anything that didn't seem quite right. We followed their advice and made the necessary changes, and are, at last, pretty happy with our final product.
There was a lot that I was particularly pleased with and I think made our product quite distinct from the others, such as the montage of 'sudden's at the beginning, and the foley used as a soundtrack without showing what it was from - e.g. eyeliner pencil being sharpened which produced quite a creepy noise, which fitted in well. I really liked the credit effects that Bisma and I chose, and think they fit in well - the fonts too! And maybe it's just because I'm glad we finally came up with them after ridiculously long, but the title of our film, Blink Murder, and our production company forty4 [because we filmed at my house, the number of which is 44... and 4+4 is 8! our group number!].
There were a few things we couldn't change, such as:
inconsistent lighting - we had to use Adobe Premiere to try to get the light levels the same but unfortunately, in doing this, we lost some quality in the sharpness of the shot
- sound - we had a buzzing noise made by the camera in our dialogue shots which we couldn't get rid of without making the speech sound a little muffled - however, this isn't all that noticeable and I think I'm more conscious of it, as with the other problems, because we spent so long editing these things and trying to correct any mistakes.
However, this is, of course, all about learning, and I think I've definitely learnt a lot that'll stay with me! Now onto the evaluation...
