Feedback from Test Screening

We burned a version of our project that we were happy with to DVD, then played it to some other media students in order to get feedback on the good points, and also on what we could improve.

Good points

The colourised shots are aesthetically pleasing
The 'craziness' makes it fun to watch
It cuts well to the beat, creating a good pace and rhythm
The judges shots are consistent and well-placed

Constructive Criticisms

Problem: Need more judges shots at the end
Solution: We decided that as some people liked the placing of the judges shots, we would leave this.

Problem: The Music Channel syle title is on screen for too long
Solution: We shortened the time it was on screen by reducing the number of shots it's over by one

Problem: Ending comes too quickly
Solution: We slowed down the music slightly, allowing the final shot to be on screen for about 1 second longer

Problem: Flashes at end a bit out of time
Solution: We watched it through at half speed and made the flashes fit better with the drum beats

Problem: 1, 2, 3, 4 sequence is hard to see as the colours are too overpowering
Solution: We increased saturation and contrast and made the colours less strong

Problem: The 2 and the 3 in the 1,2,3,4 sequence are too similar
Solution: We changed the order so that green and yellow were not next to each other
