Today’s workshop involved screening all the films for PB3 and giving feedback to others using the hats model. The following is the feedback for my group members
Amber, Yellow hat: I like the old found footage. The link between her family history and current politics is really nice. The shots of the photos are really nice, conveys a lot of information quickly. The footage alongside the bit where she’s talking about homophobia work really well and there’s a clear connection but still isn’t too obvious.
Hannah, Black hat: There’s some noise in the background, but that can be hard to get rid of. Maybe next time an atmospheric track or music could make that audio more continuous. But overall, I really enjoyed watching and listening to her story.
Emma (no assigned hat): Smooth pans are really good, the camera work as a whole is of a high quality. The audio sounds a little echoy, I don’t know if that’s just the acoustics of the room? The whole thing flows really well and feels continuous.
Jake, Green hat: The backdrop for the interview works really well, as does the music. I like the contrast between the lit interview and the found footage and the clips from the road. It works really well together and establishes his character as a professional who is willing to go out there and get involved with the world.
