Anamatic Feedback

When we showed our anamatic to our teacher she gave us feedback on most of the individual shots. We received mixed feedback all in all which we will bear in mind when filming our shots. One good point that she highlighted the first time we watched it through was that there was a big variety of unique and interesting shots.

One particular shot that our teacher thought was excellent was the under the arm shot of our killer looking at a family, this was relevant to our film as our killer envies family life. The shot contains the killer’s fist clinching when he sees a family through a window, partaking in what the stereotypical happy family would be doing at dinner time.

One shot that was considered weak was our panning shot across the fields. This shot was added into the trailer with the intention that it will create a foggy, spooky atmosphere. These were the fields that surround the church and what the church is built upon. To try and improve this shot we will think of original ways to make this shot a lot more interesting for example we could show our killer discreetly lurking in the shadows appearing behind the trees, but this is something that needs to be discussed within the group.

Other criticism that we received included that we had not added the titles into the anamatic, so we currently have no visual evidence of us knowing whereabout’s we will be adding in the text and where the title of the film will be revealed to the audience. We will be working on this feedback and will be working in the future to create a better anamatic that meets the needs of everyone involved with the project.
