AS Media - Story Board Peer Feedback

The Brief:

-To review the story board feedback from class

Feedback:

Positives:

We gathered a lot of positivity from our story board presentation and our peers were able to see and feedback on the creative shots that we  have implemented into our film opening, including the cold breath shot and the earphone shot.

We were also praised on the angle variety of our shots in our piece especially the canted angle shot at the end of the piece.

Finally our peers thankfully agreed that the title of 'Silent Killer' as the other options that we provided such as 'Eye-Spy' were off topic and unconventional.

Overall the response from the audience was mainly positive as they agreed that most of the store board made sense and was relevant to the chosen genre. However they gave us some constructive criticism on what we could do to improve and polish it off.

Improvements

- To make sure that the blood floating down the stream is both;
safe (if it is a biohazard or not)
or
looks appealing (fake blood can dissolve into solid pieces)

to combat this we are going to do a practical that shows wether the fake blood, food colouring or real animal blood works the best.

- To make sure that we don't use 'muddy or bloody footprints' because;
it is a nice idea but doesn't directly link to the story
it is out of place as there is no real explanation as to why his footprints are already bloody
it doesn't fit in the story line

to combat this we decided on only using muddy footprints so that we didn't loose the amount of shots we already had and didn't have to adjust everything around that change whilst keeping the main idea of seeing foot prints walking in the distance.

- To make sure that the stabbing of the victim looks realistic and smooth;
the stabbing idea makes the film a slasher due to the conventional expect killing
it needs to be perfected so that it doesn't look unproffessional
it needs to look realistic otherwise it looks poor and lets down the rest of the film opening

to combat this I am going to do a stabbing practical in which I will be practising and refining the stabbing action so that it looks perfect in the final piece

- To make sure that we choose the music that the victim is listening to
we are undecided on our music and we need to decide soon so that we have time to distort and manipulate it
it will work well if we experiment with the music once it is decided

to combat this we are doing a blog entry on choosing the music and later will be distorting said music
