After receiving audience feedback from my preliminary task it opened my eyes to see how it could be improved. The good aspects of it were that there was a clear story which was well established through the costume and location. I was told the editing and transitions worked effectively. As we used the tripod, the use of camera was steady, upholding the verisimilitude. Ambient sound also worked in our favour because the rain complimented the crime genre- it produced an uneasy atmosphere. However composition was a large element which I fell down on. There were areas that I could have used sound effects and the music I used didn’t work well with the genre of crime because it was too comical. Jump cuts were also an issue as they were not as successful as they could have been and it didn’t convey the story well. I think I could have used more shot types such as shot-reverse-shot when Big Jim and Alcapone are in a conversation, as well as match on action when the characters move around the area.
