Lo4: Evidence of focus group & Feedback



  • "Due to the crash scene, the feedback we received from the focus group indicates that our film would have the rating PG; this is because young children and toddlers may find the film distressing."
  • "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. "
  • "Really enjoyed watching it and overall just entertaining."
  • "Believe it promotes the event well with a good variation of interviewees to support this."
  • The music quality/editing was really good, wasn't too loud wasn't too quiet."
Ratings after discussing the groups feedback:
2 Peopled voted U
5 People voted PG

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



Lo3: Final Film


Lo3: Linking audio to visuals & appropriate sound effects

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.

Lo2: Following safe working practice (Risk Assesment)
