Construction Post 10: Looking back - reflections on our final outcome

I am very proud of how our opening turned out and the people I have shown it to so far have really enjoyed it. I think we were able to give a clear sense of the story-line but succeeded at leaving some elements ambiguous for the audience. Our TA focus group said that our titles give a very professional feel but the strobed effect on them also sticked with the party, edgy atmosphere we wished to create for our British Indie film. Our shots are all very clear apart from one grainy shot which we struggled to improve-the first introducing party shot of everyone dancing.
We have definitely stuck to the brief and not only created a quick, cross-cutting party scene, but also included our continuity sequence of our main character Lola.
Overall, I believe we made a clear representation of the friendship and relationship dynamics amongst our fictional friendship group. In saying this, we could have made Lola and Marlon's relationship even more obvious. We did film more shots of just the two of them and inserted one of these shots, however we could have made it even more obvious for the audience to understand by perhaps having some more intimate shots of them.
