For our last tute this week we were visited by two media professional who came in to listen to our rough cuts and provide us with feedback. For our group, Jon the digital manager at the Wheeler Centre and audio professional listened to our project and spoke to us about what he thought could be improved upon which included:

-To break up certain parts a little more as the piece is dialogue based. It is ok that the dialogue is fast but having more breaks will alleviate this more effectively and give the listener a chance to pause.

-Fading out certain moments such as the sound effects would work a little better as it can sound more natural this way. Often a common mistake is to fade something out too quickly which unless it is a fast paced piece in general can be quite noticeable to the listener.

-Also in general using a studio mic as well as recording most of your work in a studio enables the best quality sound, as well as a much lower chance of any annoying background noises being picked up.

Hearing this feedback was a great opportunity as it was really constructive and tips that could be worked on. Jon seemed really happy with what we had created which was a very encouraging sign that we were on the right track and that it was a good approach to the assignment. We had recorder earlier that week and so to have the chance to get feedback was great as it confirmed to us what me might not have thought of and what we had, which built the project. There was still a little bit more to record for the next week, however the majority of the audio was completed, so we as a group decided to meet the next Wednesday to record the last parts and add any final things for the piece.
