Tweak Week Feedback

After having worked on a few potential compositions and being stuck between the real life footage and the aspect of stop motion, we were glad to have met up with our peers in order to give feedback on our work that we had produced so far.
We showed a few stills of what we reckoned the full composition would look like as well as a few of the stop motion and real life clips and 3D compositions. In these clips I'd inserted the Foley of one of the boxes clicking, and the stop motion of the objects moving to tidy themselves up. However some of the feedback revealed that when watching the piece, that it was not always visible as to what objects were moving and what had tidied itself up, something we need to work on to be more obvious as this was the whole aspect of the movement and the purpose of it.

The general feedback we got was very positive, but pointed out that the aspect of the sound Foley for this piece is really important, the fact is that if there was no sound with the still rooms, it would start to possess a horror sort of theme.

Feedback received on sticky notes:

"Great set, dollhouse idea looks really well. Think the click idea will work well as will the transition into the box - sometimes it's tough to tell which objects have been tidied up" I'm glad that the composition of the piece works well overall as the intricacies of the set that we used were picked up on so I feel we have succeeded in this area, however the feedback that the movements aren't very obvious is something we'd have to work on so the audience know what is going on.

"Spend Longer in rooms, less on the logo, maybe fast cut to the graphic logo with a second click sound" We found that this was interesting feedback, as it allowed us to interpret the fact that the logo is important, however having it on the lid isn't necessarily important. We could manipulate the fast nature of the clicking and closing of lids in the piece effectively. The idea of the graphic logo clicking onto screen was a positive idea that we agreed with the feedback to use on our piece.

"It has a clean look, lighting and authenticity of the filming, however needs consideration of sound" Again, we agree with the effectiveness of the set, however we know how important the foley will be to the composition of the piece, so need to seriously look into the production of this.

"Beautiful Illustrations, nice lighting in the rooms, good story development, nice ending" Overall this is positive feedback, and we went into further detail into why it was an important part to have the big reveal at the ending and the graphics afterwards, as it was important as it's the build up of the whole house to be in the box. 

Overall, we have found the feedback interesting and helpful for the production of the piece and know that there is plenty more work that we could produce on the side as well. In addition to this we also had to use the feedback in order to produce more work and plan what we actually need to do as a pair in order for the piece to get finished on time and it has helped us to plan what needs to be put on our timetable more for the next few days so it reaches the deadline well.
