The purpose of the rough cut is to see what people who fit into the target audience of Stakeout think about it, in the run up to the deadline on the 27th March, so that we can have an idea of what we should improve in order to make our work the best it can be. Another purpose of the rough cut was to gain feedback on our variety of shots, continuity editing, action codes, effectiveness of titles, as well as sound and dialogue.
The positives:
- Our opening shots were praised, with the flashbacks of the first attack and argument between the two vampires.
- Many people said that the soundtrack goes well with our piece, as the occasional loud instrument beat adds tension to the piece, and reflects the modern but dark feel.
- The final kill, in which the lead vampire kills Andy, was praised by the class as tricky camera angles avoids the need for too much gore.
- People noticed that there was some consideration of the titles, with the style suiting the genre of the film, and the titles being placed well within some frames.
Criticism:
- Some people felt that, at times, the font was difficult to read and that some extra consideration needed to be added in some of their positioning.
- The scene in which Andy walks through the woods was seen as too long and occasionally muddled, with one shot being in the incorrect place.
- Although the music was praised for suiting the film, some believed it to be inappropriate during dialogue scenes, as it masked some of the dialogue.
- The sound levels also need to be consistent throughout, as during some parts it was impossible to hear what was being said, even at points in which the music was not playing.
