Today we showed our first edit to our class and teachers. There were a number of improvements suggested by our peers and teachers which we will take into consideration. Firstly, the soundtrack was a common problem. Many people shared the same thoughts as us where it doesn't really fit the sequence. One of our teachers also suggested that it never really picks up pace wise and therefore doesn't match the pace of our sequence as a whole. We will look into different soundtrack options and how they fit the sequence in the next few days and hopefully find a new one by the end of the week.
Another issue that was raised is the font of our titles. Many people agreed that the font of the film name doesn't suit the genre. To fix this issue we will go back into researching different fonts and experiment with them in our piece.
A few of our classmates also said it was quite difficult to distinguish the main character in some of our shots. This was particularly clear in the timelapse shot in Trafalgar Square. Agent X is supposed to walk in front of the camera with the briefcase before the timelapse starts. However, most people didn't actually realise it was Agent X who walked past the screen and suggested that we could maybe draw more attention to him. One way to do this that was suggested was to slow down the time-lapse as Agent X walks past, then speed it up again.
One of our teachers also said the table scene could do with improving. She said it felt like the table was empty and there weren't enough props on the table. We will have to come back to this shot and recreate the shot exactly how it was with the added props.
We have also been asked to create the first scene of the film itself as our sequence is quite short.
