Blog 8: Work in Progress Feedback

We were really pleased with the feedback given for our web series A New Place I Call Home.

I think the editing tips were fantastic. Though my role in this project has been around sound production and music, I often longed to edit as it’s my natural inclination to pin stories together. After my initial pitch-in with the process for our EPOC last semester, I solely concentrated on my area except for this idea of starting the show at the door of the person Vivi would interview. It reminded me of a lot of home-maker shows where the TV host would come to ‘makeover’ someone’s home.

E.G 60 Minute Make-Over (forgive the Peter Andre pic)

I can absolutely understand where the feedback came from about the prolonged greeting of Vivi’s friend Jenny coming to the door with the intercom (one of the two webisode rough cuts showcased).

It was a fun idea but the suspense was not needed in this element of the show as it wasn’t really a surprise. It was the dish that was supposed to be the surprise element if anything!

Keeping the scene simple was a great idea.

I also appreciated the mention of the sound element. I am really enjoying ‘branching out’ by using my music skills for media purposes! I also look forward to exploring more animation with the intro piece I want to contribute to the project for our team.
