The comments we received were extremely useful in the finalising of the editing of our video, as the audience were able to comment on certain elements objectively. It was also a good experience as it allowed us to not only get comments for improvement from other Media Studies students, but also compliments or suggestions from our target audience.
Some of the comments we received:
"Entertaining and engaging narrative"
"Syncing is really good"
"The acting is believable"
"Really like [particular shot]"
"Funny and good narrative"
"I liked the lighting"
"Used a lot of people in it which was interesting"
"Good use of angles and shots"
"Editing goes well with the music"
"Concept was good"
We also got some useful suggestions:
"At the beginning there should be some background noise"
"[Certain scene] goes on too long"
Although I would have preferred more critical and detailed feedback, this excercise enabled us to make several improvements in response, such as the shortening and fragmentation of the particular scene mentioned in the last comment, reuse of a certain shot and keeping a wide variety of angles when we continued the editing.
