Today, was the first viewing of the classes opening titles sequences collectively, we had to show what each of our groups had produced and then, get some feedback. Collectively as a class we all judged everyone thus getting well rounded feedback from not only the students but our teacher and the technician too. The process was not really structured in term soft that group went after each other’s as we all just went by preference.

When, it got to the stage that our group was about to show, Miss Whittaker went onto YouTube as, our opening titles was already put onto the video stream and then everyone watched. After, everyone watched it was time to start receiving feedback from selected candidates to speak per each group. Personally, feedback is hard to take but, is justifiable when it will help to improve our finished product.

The main criticism was the fact that people couldn’t focus upon the editing as there were too many overlapping images that the editing made people miss certain shots thus getting confused. Our teacher commented on this and said that this needs to improve in order to give an insight into the narrative and the thematic of the film which I completely agree because when looking back it is slightly hard to keep focus on one thing without another distracting the first frame, which can be rectified after school. I do plan to come back after school within the next week to make some changes to this with hopefully my group but, the date is yet to be scheduled.
In terms of my positions within the opening title sequence, they could have been better performed by me in one of the roles. Personally, feel that the continuity of the sequence needs re-thinking as, if it is hard to understand then this box is not being as it were ticked spa I plan to make some shots smaller and less overlap of frames. But, I am fairly happy with my performance with the titles as people complemented the way that the titles worked well with the music, transitions and the general look of them.

The mistakes will be rectified with the upcoming week for timing purposes as we do need to start thinking ahead for the exam.
