Feedback on Roughcut

This is the feedback that we have received from one of the other groups.
The other group said that we have used a variety of different camera shots. This is good because it shows that we have good camera skills and are able to use the different camera shots to full effect.
The mise-en-scene works well with our genre according to our feedback, but it has been noted that the dad sleeping in his clothes could be seen as unrealistic. To solve this, we could re-shoot the scene but with appropriate clothes or we could emphasize that the dad is very stressed which is the reason for the nightmare in the first place.
The sounds that we have used for our thriller were tense and dark and, according to our feedback, went well with our genre and suited the atmosphere well.


Some points to consider from out peer feedback was:
The narrative wasn't clearly outlined in the rough cut and it needs to be clearer in order to understand the story line.
Another problem according to the feedback was that it was hard to distinguish between the characters. This is mainly due to the fact that we didn't use outside characters and the person acting as the child was a similar height compared to the other characters.
Also, the people who were reviewing our rough cut thought that it wasn't very easy to distinguish what was happening in the sequence. This can be linked to an earlier comment saying that the narrative wasn't very clear, but we hope to solve this when the whole sequence is put together.
Another comment was that the sequence wasn't long enough but of course, once the whole sequence has been put together and edited, it should be of a suitable length.
Another thing to improve is in one of the scenes, there is a slight lack of continuity in that Jake is out of the shot in one scene, but is then seen waving goodbye from a similar position in the next. The main way to solve this would be to re-shoot the scene but this all depends on whether or not we have enough time to do this. 

Some good points given from our peer feedback was the wood location and how we used those surroundings in our shots. another good part was the camera shots we used when the dad was running through the woods. This includes the POV shots and pan shots.
