Update (Mori)

Today in class I have been spending time on the computer editing the film we have so far, i feel as though it is going well and the trailer should be very professional when it is finished. We have a few more shots to get which we mean that we have much more material to edit.
I spoke to our teacher today and asked her to give her opinions on where we are with our trailer and what she thinks we need to improve it. She gave positive feedback as well as constructive critacism, she really liked the music which Aaron and i were pleased about as we have done lots of research on the music and we choose music which went against the genre and challenges the codes and conventions of film, the music is relaxed and slightly classical even when we are showing a girl getting raped, this is very effective because the music makes it seem normal but viewers know it is far from normal which makes it scarier and more strange.
Mrs Downes also said that at the moment she could not work out the genre of the film which is a fair comment, we are still to add in the voiceover which will be explaining what the shots are showing and their relevance, i think this will also add a scary and almost ominous effect to the trailer. In conjunction with this she said that it was slightly difficult to understand, but i am confident that with the rest of the filming in place and the voiceover added in the trailer will be easier to understand and will leave veiwers wanting to watch the whole film.
Other feedback from another girl in our class said similar things to Mrs. Downes, "Really like the music and the opening shots of the girl, but not so sure about the story yet."
The feedback has been very usful and shows me what me and Aaron need to work towards and where we need to tighten up the trailer. I think after another two or three weeks we should show it to the same people as well as a few others and see what they say then, and we can compare it to what has been said this time and therefore, setting the target for ourselves to improve veiwers understanding of the trailer as well as getting it as close to finished as possible.
