Evaluation Question 4


Cameron is an 18 year old living in California. He enjoys doing a range of leisure activities in his spare time such as playing football, skateboarding, going to the cinema and playing volleyball. During this time, Cameron tends to talk about things that he finds interesting with his friends, such as new film releases and football results. 
 He uses a variety of social networking sites, however the ones he uses the most are Twitter and Vine where he has somewhat of a fan base. He likes to share his viewpoints and opinions on certain things on these sites, which also helps to promote them to his followers.
He tends to access films in a variety of ways. The main ways in which he does this is by going to the cinema or viewing the films on websites such as Netflix. He likes to have the cinema experience of watching a film and being able to watch it with a lot of friends. He also likes Netflix because it's easily accessible so he can watch films whenever he wants to.
His favourite films include The Purge, Olympus Has Fallen, Taken, Insidious and Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. These films clearly fall into a particular genre which is Action Thriller. He likes to be scared by films and put on the edge of his seat. He takes his friends along to see new films with him so they can be scared too. Sherlock is one of his favourite television shows as he likes to work out and analyse things to do with crime and 'who done it.' He tends to figure out who done it before the detectives do in shows and films like Sherlock and finds that having several plot twists makes it more interesting as it's harder to figure out.

Cameron will probably find out about the film and decide to watch it by seeing advertisements on social networking sites which he uses such as Twitter and also in the trailers at the cinema before a screening. He may also hear about it through word of mouth when he is socializing with his friends. I think he would enjoy our film as it fits well with the genre of films that he likes. He will be able to try and figure out how it'll end and 'who done it' but there may be quite a few plot twists which will keep him engaged.

Final Cut

Rough Cut Feedback

After showing the rough cut to my friends/peers I have received quite a bit of useful feedback. Some of the examples of the positive feedback I got included:
"I really like the match on action, it seems to flow really well"
"I like the way the music builds the tension as the sequence goes on, it's very effective"
"The light editing works well to show the genre"

Feedback on the improvements I could make included:
"You could make the titles longer so it's easier to read them before they change"
"There's one clip where the lighting's different so it could be better if it's edited the same as the others"


I think this feedback is quite useful and when editing for my final cut I will bare this in mind to create a better film opening sequence.
