Feedback on Rush

This is our rush again, and Mrs Blackborow gave us some feedback on how she thinks it went which we discussed as a group:

• The girl needs to be walking faster in the shots
• The outside shots are too dark so we decided we need to set up an extra porch light or film earlier on when it is lighter (although if we film earlier it will be hard to keep continuity between the shots as it will get darker whilst we are filming) - however she liked our change of angles throughout that section
• The closeup shots at the beginning of her waking up are too still and we need more variation in our camerawork at this point - so we plan to use more varied types of shot and we plan to include more tracks and pans as well to introduce movement
• There should be a longer shot on the alka-seltzer fizzing in the glass

After this feedback as a group we also discussed some more points which we feel we should include/improve upon in our actual shoot:

• At the end of the sequence the girl shouldn't be dragged out of the frame, but rather the last shot of her is the kidnapper's hand on her face and then the title would flash up on a black/blank screen
• The hallway shot of the girl leaving her room and walking down the hallway should be moved to a slightly different position - we can move the camera into a doorway which gives us a better view of the hallway to make this sequence run smoother in the editing
• The credits should possibly go over the action rather than on a title screen to keep the opening moving at a steady pace
• There should possibly be a closeup on on the girl's face when she is being grabbed by the kidnapper in order to show her expression more
