This is our second rough cut. It is alot more precise and followable than the first rough cut. We experimented with and altered the title font and colour as an attempt to make it stand out more, but still look professional and flow well within the opening.
We also rearranged the opening shots. We thought the pan looked very unsteady leading into the opening of the first rough cut. To make it more professional-looking, we changed this pan to a steadier, slower one. We also slightly changed the idea of our opening - where the camera moves past the group before rewinding back to it, like in rough cut 1 - and the camera halts at the group with a fitting sound effect. We did this as we found our first idea didn't convey to the audience, through the camera shots used, as we'd hoped it would.
After making the first rough cut, I hastily asked for feedback about it from friends, family and the film's target audience. As we had a mixture of pun names and normal, random names for the film titles, many of the viewers suggested making these names either all normal names or all pun names; they found it distracted away from the film when they were trying to work out if the normal names were pun ones. We took on board this feedback and changed the titles to entirely pun names, however, we may consider changing them to entirely normal names as it was previously mentioned the pun names were distracting and rather unprofessional.
Viewers also suggested that the font didn't fit with the genre of the opening. They said it looked quite horror-like; which in reflection I agree. We first chose this font as we thought it looked quite edgy and country-looking - like cracked ground - however it obviously doesn't give this effect. We will change the font to a softer, more rounded one.
