Today Sam viewed our rough cut and gave us some feedback and pointers.
- Overall, the content of our documentary is pretty good. We have all the footage we need, we just need to play around with it and perhaps change the order of it to make it more interesting for the audience.
- Sam agreed with Zoe's advice we received on Friday, the structure of our documentary is still too linear at the moment. We still plan on moving around our footage in order to make it less linear. For example, during the interview with the learner driver, he talks about taking an intensive driving course and how he thinks these are a good idea. We will then include the footage of the insurance broker where she disagrees with these courses as she believes they are unsafe and don't teach people how to actually drive, just how to pass a test.
- The audio is still a bit messy. Some clips are loud whereas others a quiet. We still need to play around with this and make all the footage the same volume.
- It would also be a good idea to get more GVs whilst driving (i.e. by putting a GoPro on the windowscreen and driving around a bit). This will give more footage to use during Alex's interview with the learner driver).
This feedback has been very helpful as it has given us a clearer idea of the steps we need to take in order to improve our documentary. We will take this advice on board and implement it before our fine cut viewing.
