Reflection on feedback
In our tutorial we had many factors pointed out to us that had room for improvement. One of these being the interviews. The interview we conducted with Martin had many faults. One of these faults being his answers to the questions. He was very boring and tedious with his answers and not what we were expecting of him. Due to Martin pulling out of video recording at the last minute we were only able to get a voice recording. This made it awkward when it came to the edit as we didn't have a face of the company and as the other two faces on film were very young and didn't fit the aesthetics. When editing Martin's interview we also noticed that his voice was very monotone and dull. This brought down the overall tone of the film especially as what he was saying was of no interest. Therefore in the tutorial these were the factors we were told to improve. Due to this information we made the decision to scrap Martins interview all together as it wasn't bringing anything to the film. This meant that we had to take a different approach to the whole film. We had to make sure that Georgia and Fergus' interviews were good enough to carry the film.
We also had problems with Georgia's interview. It was made evident to us that she spoke extremely fast making it a little difficult to keep up and understand what she was talking about. We were advised to break up her interview even more and focus more on the points of interest as a lot of what she spoke about was a little boring, off point and unnecessary. From this we were able to split up Georgia's interview even more so it didn't get too overpowering.
One positive at the rough cut stage was that Fergus was very enthusiastic and a fresh young face. This brought a fresh look to the documentary and an upbeat feel. He has a sort of cheeky look about him and brings a slight comedy factor to the documentary. From this feedback we decided to include more of Fergus' interview as it was much more interesting than Georgia's.
