Today in class, Mr Andrews took a lookout out draft and gave us some verbal feedback. Listed below are some dot points stating the feedback that he gave us.
- At 3 seconds of the film, the black screen transition can be a little shorter
- As well as the second black transition - too long
- First transition is okay, second might be too long
- Sound effect of the rapid shots at the start of the documentary can be changed from a negative buzz to a Instagram shutter sound - we can use effects from garageband or iMovie or Final Cut Pro. If not, we can use Instagram and record the sound it makes when we take a photo
- At 18 seconds, instead of using a straight cut, try fading the shot out to black - the transition will look smoother
- During time lapse it might be a good idea to add in some medium close up shots of her on social media - You see her looking over at her phone rather than the phone being the focus of the shot
- Once the mood has changed to negative, the buzz/crackle sound effects with he rapid shots work well and suit the tone
- With the statistics in the animation, rather than saying the entire number of the statistic, have the narrator say something like "over 2.3 billion people" "in excess of 30 billion" "more than 9 thousand" it will be more effective; however, keep the whole number on the screen - just change what the narrator is saying
- Trim the interview - also pop the title of the television show at the beginning of it
