TASK 10: Retaliation First Cut




Self Assessment
  • the volume of the music is too loud at points
  • one of the cuts is delayed and needs to be edited
  • lighting when shown on a projector may be an issue
  • we have yet to film the ending
  • the narrative may not be clear at this point
Questions for Discussion with audience:

1. What is the narrative?
2. Can you notice the colour correction?
3. How does it fit the thriller genre?
4. How does the soundtrack create a mood or atmosphere?
5. What is the audience for this short film?
6. Where would you expect to see this short film?
7. Is the pace of editing suitable for the style of the film?
8. We switched the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 2.39:1 which is common with Thriller films. Do you like this style?
9. Is there enough dialogue?
10. Is the lighting an issue?
