Feedback that we received from our Rough Cut

Feedback that we received from our Rough Cut



  • More incidental sounds, could add ambient sounds to non- diegetic score.
  • Edit title sequence- include Livetype titles, include sources of funding e.g.-"national lottery" and rethink title order "don't have director placed first in the timeline".
  • "Good use of sound", Livetype titles would be better, the titles aren't conventional.
  • Titles (Deadline Productions) at the start of the film needs to last longer.
  • Really good editing, could include more incidental sounds.
  • Include more ambient sounds.
  • Difficulty in understanding genre of the film and its narratives.
  • Good use of sound and camera effects. Good use of the newspaper article in the editing to portray backstory. "Could use a wider range of sounds".
  • Include wider range of sounds in the editing process such as incidental and ambient.
  • Good use of sound, effective editing when the shots of Alice are strung together quickly one after the other.
