feedback and critics

After finishing our first edit draft for My Turf, it was showed to other groups and classes for feedback be it positive or negative. These are some of the feeds we got:-


1 The end scenes let it down, (too drastical)

2 Syncing of sounds, action and bullets needed rendering

3 They liked the titles

4 Consistent titles e.g pills and text

5 Shakey camera (mirrors/wardrobe) ?

6 Music was good

7 Fine line between urban and gangster

8 laughter when Mike throws the ninja star

9 kidulthood rather than 'Boys n the hood'

10 Suit?

11 Liked the glow effect

12 Some people didn't get it

13 Syncing of gun shots

These feeds were made by other media studies students doing the same project so therefore their remarks are taken into consideration. After talking to Mike we have made some amendments. i will respond to the above feeds.

1 I was surprised to find out that some people thought the end scene let it down. The end scene for me was meant to be a climax to the tense atmosphere built from the start of the sequence.

2 We are currently working on fixing the sound effects of the bullets to synch with the action.

3 Good to hear positive remarks on the title. we tried making it different and creative.

5 The camera was abit shakey on the mirror shot but i didnt notice until i heard the comment.

6 music was a key part to potraay the rise in tension between each scene.

8 After looking at the feeds on the scene where Mike throws the shuriken at me, we decided to take that shot out and replaace it with a clack screen but leaving the sfx over the black screen to suggest the shuriken was thrown at me.

10 the idea of Mike wearing a suit is because his character is rich and powerful, dresses smart to hise his true nature as a cold bloogeg killer.

12 The storyline cant be understood just from watching the opening of a film. Crime thrillers do not reveal much about the narration at the start of the film so this opening sequence stays conventional to its genre.

13 we looked again at the first draft and took out the gun shots sfx then replaced it with another one created on garage band.
