Back again! Okay, it's been a little while since I last updated but yesterday, my Dissertation was submitted (and completed two days before that) so the pressure has died a little and I have the opportunity to take a breather for a moment!
As of late, there hasn't been any recent news in order to make a new screening but now that our recent bulk of a 10 000 word essay is out of the way (to put it lightly), we'll be able to think about a screening much more closely.
Yesterday, I recieved some feedback of my film - much needed I have to say - and the verdict that it was very well told. The painted in tail didn't fail to impress, the camerawork and focus was praised and generally was considered to be a well made piece of work.
More importantly, the negative feedback was enough for me to work from. The narration was considered a bit flat and maybe should have been played down a little more and the gaps in between the scenes went on a little too long.
The latter will be the easiest to sort out as there are a few outstanding gaps in some of the shots but the narration will be a little more difficult. Since I have to cut out the phallic-spade-handle shot for the museum, other editing tweeks can be done. I could possibly leave the narration as it is for the museum's copy and cut it down for the other cut. Alternatively, I could follow on from a suggestion mentioned in feedback and test a few voices over the next week to see how they sound, considering as to whether they would be suitable or not.
It's difficult to say where it will be shown now but I suspect in the College's media centre. It would be good to show it at the courtyard but I don't know the likelihood of that happening. I
t's not impossible as there were talks of such a thing happening on the day things went wrong. I'm certain that it won't have anything to do with Borderlines film festival - bit of a pity as its a decent outlet but Gilliam's behaviour was completely out of order.
Anyway, keep watching this space!
