Feedback from rough cut

Having edited the footage from the shoot into a rough cut, we received the following feedback from our teacher:

• We have to work on the consistency, duration and the speed of the sunrise shots at the beginning
• We could add an extra sunrise shot to improve the chronology
• We may have to sort out the chronology of the sunrise shots through grading in post-production
• Rather than cutting the vlog shots from different angles, we could use the whole vlog shot, because we prefer the angle as well as the acting
• The cut to the back master is quite disorientating because the audience cannot see what she is doing
• The reaction shot to the photograph of Lila and her brother could show more emotion
• The audience's view of the photograph isn't quite clear, as the slight over-the-shoulder and 'stroking' action prevent us from seeing his face clearly. We could use a shot that matches her eyeline
• When panning up to the sunrise after she ticks the bucket list off, we should try to get more of her face in- at the moment, Lila's hair covers her face a lot of the time. We could also try a rotating arc from behind
• When Noah and Jess come in, we see Noah clearly but cut before Jess has even sat down, so we do not introduce the character properly.
• We may need a costume change for Jess- rather than being predominantly dressed in black, we could give her an iconic accessory such as a scarf or beanie.
• The match-on-action with Jess shoving Noah doesn't quite work because it doesn't look natural- therefore, we may have to rewrite the script

From this feedback, we found out that we definitely need to go on another shoot. The feedback meant that we knew exactly what we needed to capture before going on location, allowing us to be far more efficient.
