focus group feedback for roughcut

we asked different groups of people to give us fedback on our rough cut, we did this via questions and answers.

Does it follow indie genre conventions?

• yes it does, it looks very similar to other indie videos, like the plain white ts.

Do you think the split screen is effective?

• Yes, it breaks the footage into different segments. You can see close ups, mid shots and long shots all at the same time which works really well and strongly engages the audience.

• It is really well done and makes it look more professional. it is good that you make the audience active so each time they watch it they see a different narrative.

• The split screen made it look like it was shot in wide screen which looked really effective and made it look almost like a film.

Is the narrative engaging?

• Yes, its looks almost like a film.
  
• It was slightly muddled as though she was in many different places t the same time. This is not negative as it keeps the audience wondering. The hand held camera filming from behind gives the impression that she is being followed.
  
• Guitars added another dimension to the video. It allowed the audience to see the effect the performance will add to the video when you have shot this.
• The mise-en-scene in terms of lighting, character, and location is really really good and it would be good to see more of this.
