"The actions within the film may cause harm to a young child if they were to try and replicate what they saw."
"Well edited and people aged 16+ particularly enjoyed the crash scene. "

The music quality/editing was really good, wasn't too loud wasn't too quiet."

Based on the results I have got from my focus group I believe that the appropriate rating for this short film is PG.

Lo3: Applying appropriate visual effects

Lo3: Producing & Reviewing an offline edit

At 32 seconds in we decided to add in clips that went over the top of the original clip to cut in time with the music as it made it fit into the conventions of the genre. At 1 minute 19 we added in a slow motion effect. We also added in text which was the questions for the interviewees. We added in a song as well which was fast and upbeat so it fit the genre well.

Lo3: Logging Rushes & Edit Decission List

These are examples of rushes from our footage, we have decided to use this footage along with much more because of the quality of footage and framework. From these rushes we are going to use them in our final piece, however we are going to cut them and edit them to a fast pace and visual effects of slomo etc to follow the conventions of the genre.

Lo2: Following the Style & Convention of chosen genre

We used a slomo affect on the footage taken of riders on the jump. By using this affect we are following the standard conventions of the genre of Extreme sports promo vids.
