Post 42 - Third Draft Feedback - Professional Editor

Along with videoed feedback, I took it upon myself to ask a contact my teacher had provided me about our film and receive feedback on the Third Draft of my group's film. This was done as we wanted feedback from someone who wasn't aware of the film and was viewing it for the first time with no background knowledge. The email below shows the feedback we received and ideas for how we could edit parts of the film. 

Things taken from the email which I then implemented in the editing of our final cut:

• Kitchen scene needs to be cut down, especially the female character shots. If we had time we would shoot Charlie talking, however we did not have the time to re-shoot.
• Lengthened the shot of the drawing in the last scene, this meant that hopefully the drawing would make more sense as the writing of 'wedding' was clearer for longer.
• Cutting the frame of some dialogue down to make the scenes more snappy and quicker.
• Delaying the opening title of the film to make it last longer over the empty bed. We then decided to have a transition between the bed shot and the bathroom shot.
