Simon's feedback:
- Doesn't feel like a fly-on-the-wall / observational documentary as there are no high angle cameras. We didn't film any shots from this angle as we were limited for time in our location for the vet's practice and these shots would have taken a larger amount of time to set up. Unfortunately, this means that our piece doesn't fit the conventions of the documentary / mockumentary genre and therefore loses this quality. Instead, our piece feels more like a drama / comedy with the closer camera angles.
- The music for the title sequence works well and it would be nice to continue it through the piece a little more to lift the mood and hint at the mockumentary genre. The music is appropriate to the documentary genre and feels similar in tone to that of The Supervet and 24 Hours in A&E.
- No colour grading has been done yet, this will help to establish the clinical theme of the mockumentary.
- The interview sections work really well as these follow the conventions in the documentary / mockumentary. The wide and medium close up shots work well and aid the narrative.
- the audio of the piece still needs to be sorted out - still peaking in places and there is still some background noise.
- In the consultation scene, potentially add more shots as the scene is quite lengthy (although, this could be difficult if we don't have this coverage).
