Feedback from roughcut

After our class looking at our rough cut trailer, we recieved, overall good feedback. It was clear that our trailer was an 'Arthouse film' due to the subtitles. Yet there was a possible danger of the trailer being a music video, as the order was laid out wrong; after receiving feedback, we have changed our the order of our trailer to create suspense and leave a cliffhanger to make people want to see our film.
Most groups thought our editing was excellent, as we used alot of effects and colour change/balance to adapt to our genre. Our shots were imaginative and fitted well with our genre Arthouse.
Also, our use of mise en scene received good feedback, and the overall camera work averaged out as good. Although, our soundtrack didn't necessarily fit with all of our images used, overall, now that it is complete, works well. By doing our film in Spanish and having subtitles made it unique. On the other hand, some people thought the subtitles were hard to read, and so we have made the font bold to make it easier to read. We also struggled with reducing certain background noise on a particular opening scene, we can rude it, yet we wouldn't be able to hear the actual diaglogue. Overall the feedback was positive, yet our continuity of a particular scene (smashing glass and then the pieces being together) didn't work as well, yet the image is effective. Some people thought our titles were hard to read, so we are going to change the font to another to make it bold and stand out.
Since receiving feedback, we have added a voice over and the final titles. Also, we have changed the order of the trailer to make it seem an actual teaser instead of a music video.
