Postproduction

From the audience feedback I have discovered what were the positive and negative aspects of the opening two minutes. Some said that I overly edited and tried to add in too many special effects such as transitions and effects on the editing. It is important to keep some of the editing simple and effective. After I received the feedback, I went back a stripped back some of the editing tools I added in such as the zooms and effects on the image. I then realised how much better it was when it was simpler and the shots were the key aspect and not the fancy editing. Another aspect that the feedback taught me was the importance of time management, I didn’t allow myself enough time to film all of the shots I wanted.
The timing of the day was also an important factor to consider, as I filmed it in the summer, it got very dark very quickly and therefore when I filmed all day, it got dark extremely quickly. During the postproduction process I was able to decide how I would develop my skills and techniques when it came into A2 and I was to creating my trailer. I took from the process that I should focus simply on the shots and the quality of them instead of all the fancy techniques I could include. When I filmed my trailer this year I faced a similar problem when it came to lighting. That is why I reshot some of the scenes when the lighting was right. I made the film have more continuity. It also made it more professional and seem as though the film was high budget.
