Feedback From Bournemouth And Our Response

The feedback that we recieved on our documentary from the bournemouth student is as follows:

The introduction needed to establish a feel for the documentary to inform people what it is about and to also get their attention. We needed to pick out the best shots of the Fiver to use as a montage sequence.

There was good use of the band footage, but he thought we should've had more.

Instead of just having an interview with someone and then playing the footage afterwards, we should cut between them both, instead of making it drag on for too long.

Some of the shots were held for too long and should be cut shorter.

There was good use of titles to break the video up, but maybe we could've used a voiceover to explain it.

There was too much footage of the students editing their promos. We should've cut between the interview to break things up more.

Our Response

I felt that these were very valid points to make. As we had only just begun editing our documentary and a lot of our work was still work in progress, a lot of the things that he picked up on were all changes we were going to make in our next cut. All of the suggestions that he made we were all going to change in the documentary and we were also planning on adding a soundtrack to help make the video more engaging to watch.
