Today we had a fine cut viewing of the VTs with Helen. Laura and I just had a few sound design changes to make to the trailer before showing it but we were finished before lunch ready for the viewing. We had a lot more positive feedback for the viewing and Helen seemed pleased with what we had achieved. In terms of the extra footage we shot on the 3rd and 4th shoot days, this was useful as it allowed us to have more edit points and more varying shots. We tightened up the mockumentary, shortening it to 2 1/2 mins. With the edit changes, this made the VT sustain that length effectively without it being too long or feeling dragged out like it had before. In terms of the trailer, Helen was pleased with it but suggested we have a voice over. I asked Josh to do the voice over for me as I thought his voice would be suitable. In an ideal world we would have had Darren do the voice over as it was supposed to be a Norman-made trailer. However, the final result was effective and added to the production value of the VT. In terms of the final edit for the Trivia VT, the editors used some after effects including some animations and transitioning effects to tie the shots together which I think worked really well. Overall, I am pleased with the feedback we received for the final edits and think that the decision to re-shoot some of the footage was the right thing to do. The quality of the VTs could have been improved in areas such as the sound quality as there are elements where it is too quiet or there is some echo. However, I think after some adjustments on audition, this has been improved and brought to the best possible standard.
