Feedback from Bournemouth


  • Intro - Need an intro to establish a feel for the documentary and get peoples attention. Pick out the best shots for the intro.
  • Change of shot - good use of band footage but maybe use more - maybe have a musical montage to set up the feel of the venue.
  • Then - Simon Bats - Head of Learning and Access. Use footage that can be linked with what's being said, I.E. footage of the collaboration.
  • Maybe some transitional footage between, the interviews just to break up the structure, and create a break in the overall documentary.
  • Timing of the shots used. Some need to be shorter or longer.
  • Good use of titles to break up structure - possible alternative is having a voice over?
  • Shots of the interview really needed - to break up the footage of the edit studio - shots of the screen edits. Too much footage of the editors - really needs to be broken up.
  • First fine minutes needed to be broken up more to flow better.
  • Setting up a feel, what do you want to get from the film?
  • 30 Second intro.
  • Random Black.
We disscussed all of these things with the student we spoke to at Bournemouth University and he explained how these things can make it better.


After giving us the feedback he showed us how to do some editing on Final Cut that could help the documentary and then showed us the basics of a program called Motion.
