P4 Audience Feedback I made a Microsoft form in order to collect feedback for our short film, which includes some simple questions for our peers to answer. M3 Acknowledging Feedback I believe all of the feedback we received from the Microsoft form is constructive and allows for areas of improvement if we do another short film similar to this. Question 1 - video quality / storyline The feedback we received from the first question was near enough all along the same lines, saying that the storyline was quite simple but had an effect to it, which is pretty much what we were going for. However, these were the ones which stuck out and mentioned something other than that: *good We recorded our short film twice. The first time we did it, we hardly even had a fully finished storyboard but we had the idea and the script so just winged it. After realising we would have to reshoot it, we created a new storyboard based on what we had already filmed, so when we went to film the second time it went b...

Recording and Prop Photos For the props, we chose a relatively cheap halloween mask from a shop near us which sells masks all year round, which is lucky for us as we started filming after halloween was over. We also used a fake knife. Each of these photos show us operating the camera for different types of shot s while being directed.  When directing on set, we would say "silence on set" so that we wouldn't have any unnecessary noise in the back of the scenes. We would also say "3,2,1 action" in order to make sure each person would know when the camera was going to be start rolling.  Rushes These are our rushes.   Looking at the storyboard, we followed near enough everything and not much changed, except for one of the conversation scenes where on the day we decided to do shot-reverse-shot for this. We also did some slightly different POV shots towards the end.

In this document, I will go into how we edited the sound for our film, showing used sound to enhance the footage and establish the film's atmosphere, adding depth to the story to make it more engaging for viewers. In our film, we included two classic pop songs: "Talking in your Sleep" by The Romantics and "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. This cheesy 80s music adds an authentic slasher movie vibe to the film, immersing the audience in the suspense of these scenes. For the use of "Talking in your Sleep", we used it in a scene at the beginning where a character listens to the music through headphones. This was done in the way that the music would sound distant until the character puts the headphones in, which replicates the characters perception of the music. This gradually made the music sound clearer and louder when the headphones were put in, and was done with the Distant audio effect in Premiere Pro.
