Rough Cut Screening - Feedback

As we haven't filmed all our interviews, we couldn't show a complete rough cut of our documentary. We did however, show the interview we did with George Neish & asked the audience for their feedback on the following things:

1) What parts do you think we should cut from the interview?

2)What parts didn't make sense because the question hadn't been included?

3) Do you think interview was framed well, with good use of mise-en-scene?

4) What parts do you think could be used as just audio as opposed to visual image & audio?

Our feedback was generally quite positive, with people commenting on the good use of light, mise-en-that represented George in his natural environment & the clear sound.

In terms of what to improve on, the general consensus was a variation in shots of the interviewee during the interview rather than having the camera in just one set place, cutting out all waffling and repetition of points, lowering the camera so the interviewee takes up more space in the shots, cutaways (although we do have cutaways but hadn't yet edited them in)

This will be incredibly useful for when we film our next string of interviews over the Christmas period.
