Making Changes

After receiving the feedback from our teacher we went back over the points that had been made and I made the changes. The audience liked the first image however they felt as though it stood out too much and did not fit in with the rest of the footage. After attempting to change the saturation and colour in premier to make it similar to the others we decided it was not working, so because of this, we decided to delete it all together. To replace this shot we added in the boat footage shown in image two. The audience felt as though this fitted better and maintained the style of the film. The ship itself moved along the screen in a diagonal line, and our teacher didn't like the ship travelling at this angle. I rotated the footage so that the boat was level and this worked much better.
The audience weren't too keen on image 4 as they felt as though it did not fit in with the other text. To create this effect instead of zooming in, Miranda did the opposite and zoomed out so that the DIY lens hood was visible. The finished effect showed something more original and we were really happy with it. As we liked the effect so much we decided to incorporate more like this, so that image 4 didn't look so out of place. Miranda tried again, and finished with image 3. Audience members likes the adding of the 'wander' shot and felt it maintained the quirkiness and originality of the film.
A lot of the feedback we have received comments on the calm feeling which they receive whilst watching our film. The majority of the shots are slow paced (image 6) and it was suggested that we use some quicker footage. Miranda filmed some more traffic scenes which I then sped up when editing (image 5). To keep the same theme throughout I added a directional blur which blurred the footage slightly and created more pace. Audience members loved the change in slow and paced and said it explored all types of travel, whether they be slow and graceful or fast.
