Following the rough-cut screening of our film today I feel that we were able to come away with a lot of positive feedback and yet also a lot of constructive remarks on where we need to take things in final days of this course. Main points to be taken into next week included:

• Suggestions as to what backgrounds could be suited to which sections of the song (for this screening they were placed pretty randomly just so that we could give an idea of the effects we were going for with the silhouettes)
• Importance of the heads and music being in sync as it is a major distraction
• Ideas of experimenting with the sizes and spacing of the heads in different areas
• Fixing up the placement of the changing heads featured in the chorus
• Perhaps considering reshooting/producing new/switching out background material of certain things due to image quality

Overall, we came away with more positives than anything though. After our bumpy start to editing just a few days earlier we really weren’t sure of how much we would be able to achieve and whether what we had achieved would be well received. The class seemed really surprised and excited by what we had managed to put together and this was really motivating entering the final stages of work on our piece.
