Project III Roughcut (Edited)



Project III Roughcut from Caitlin on Vimeo.

Screening Critique:
  • Meld the text into the black? They appear too quickly for the audience to see -- try a new way of placing the type
  • First crossfading headshot isn't really necessary
  • Keep the lighting
  • Don't really need all that text -- message is a little long (do you need to specifically say cancer?)
  • Pay attention to the lighting: if it keeps changing it makes it seem as if there is a lot of passing time
  • Zoom up on the face? More angled shots? It's just the same one angle for a period of time during the message
  • People actually liked the green flashes! (but only because it suggested panic... play with that?)
  • Ending is okay as it is, doesn't seem unfinished and leaves the viewer hanging
  • Leave more black space at the beginning and end
  • Blanketing the scenes with music, text, and imagery is starting to make it look like a commercial
  • Moderate volume levels of the sounds
  • I myself might remove the mention of 'cancer'

Some footage shot earlier in the morning:

The sun was too bright though, so I chose to re-film during the evening instead.
