Feedback after the test screening

Recently our group had shown our media teachers the 2nd draft of 'Oblivious' in order to not only show them what we have been currently working; but most importantly gain feedback in order to improve our project before deadline.

Overall they were very pleased with the position our group are currently in and are equally impressed with the current execution of the project regarding the technical aspects of lighting; in addition to the relevant themes and ideas that merge well in the thriller genre also addressing present issues in today's society. However there were some comments that both teachers stated during the screening regarding the soundtrack and camera movement used within 'Oblivious'.

Issues surrounding the soundtrack was that they felt has it wasn't relevant to the genre and didn't add much edge to the sequence. It ultimately caused them to be pulled from the fictional world we created as they were distracted by the nature of the soundtrack.
Another issue with draft was primarily to do with the the camera movement with in the school sequence towards the end of the piece; this issue was because of the un-nessasary need to pan shots and push-out shots that have no real purpose to the telling of the story.

Regarding the feedback, our group have decided that in order to improve our project and learn from the comments; we need to re-shoot the school scene in order to execute the scene with more relevant camera placement. In relation to the soundtrack, our group is going into more depth and research into what soundtrack is appropriate for our project.
