On Week 12, a.k.a. final tutorial for TV2, we had a rough cut screening with peer assessment attached. And that was the final class I have in RMIT University, and probably my entire study life.
Anyhow, I didn't expect rough cut screening could be THAT 'rough' so I spent hours in the editing suite trying to perfect the editing. Each group presented their rough cut and again, out of my expectations, the responses were awesome! Everybody in class laughed and it was definitely a good thing! Our main subject, Caroline has certainly entertained our audiences with her special and unusual personality and it made the audiences want more and more of her. And I am really glad they love the over the shoulder interview shot! :D
We then had a discussion and everyone contributed their personal opinion on Animal Speak. The peer assessment session was really helpful and beneficial because I edited the film with my point of view and perspective - which is why I used the typewriting style to introduce the questions in the documentary. However, some of the viewers thought that it is too draggy yet inefficient.
Below is the suggestions and opinions from the class and our teachers:
- Present question at a go (Do not use typewriter style)
- Comic Sans is not appealing
- Interview with client's opinion on communication session can be excluded
- Voice over will work well with Bailey's part
- Cutaways could be better - e.g. JR with vacuum cleaner.
- Structure of the film gives audience a feeling that it is a small section of a long documentary
- Giving a 'break' in between of Caroline will make audiences want more of her
- Communication session's reverse shot (of client) have to be re-shot.
- Re-shoot Bailey's part - the owner aka Esther checking Bailey's old photos (as Azwin suggested); archival video
