Having more or less finished the piece the previous week, I can back and looked at it this week and got some informal feedback. From this I had to tweak and add a few things to the piece. First of all I had avoided cutting the montage sequence to the beat of the chosen music because I knew it would make the piece be a lot shorter than the designated two minute allowance. Realising that that meant loosing possible comedic points I has to work out something else.
I broke up my initially finished piece and began to rework at it, by separating the sections that needed reworking (The Montage scene) from the others and going from there.
At a second look I realised I needed to diversify my shot choices, which was agreed upon during the informal feedback I got. So I added more wides whereas before I had relied on close ups to tell the story and give it more comedy. I realised this just made me an an audience member feel claustrophobic.
Finally as suspected the montage sequence now having been cut to the beat, meant that the overall sequence running time had been pulled down. To make up for this I had to incorporate the beginning of the next scene, which in the end I thought worked really well, giving this short two minute sequence a beginning a middle and an end. Now all that's left is for it to be judged with the others next week when it's due.
