My rough cut

Here is the rough cut for my TV production. Feel free to watch it and leave any suggestions in the comments section (and please be as honest and critical as possible). One thing to note is that the sound is very unfinished, so try your best to ignore this if possible. If you have a bit of time to answer some specific questions, some things which I would like specific feedback on are:


1. Do you think the chase at the start is exciting? Is it too long, does it feel awkward, etc? Does the music feel out of place?
2. Does the transition from the chase into the confrontation scene feel too sudden/awkward?
3. Does the dialogue feel awkward in any places in the confrontation scene?
4. Do you think the confrontation scene needs any music?
5. Does the romance aspect make sense to you? Does it feel out of place/shoe-horned in?
6. What are your favourite/least favourite aspects of the clip and scenes in the clip?


I showed the clip to both of my media studies teachers for feedback. Both of them liked it overall, but gave some tips to improve it. One thing which one teacher suggested was to try cropping some shots in the confrontation scene in order to get a wider range of camera angles and increase the intensity of certain moments. They also both suggested making the opening chase shorter by using shorter shot lengths and possibly experimenting with jump cuts. One criticism was that the romance aspect felt a bit shoe-horned in, although I think this is partly as the scene comes near the end of the show, and by this point the audience would be familiar with the fact that the two are in a relationship. This may, however, be helped by putting a flashback into the dialogue scene, which I will be doing in order to meet the criteria of having at least two locations. This should also break up the scene a bit more and hopefully make it more interesting.
