Roughcut Editing of Last Nights Shoot and Feedback

Last night I re-filmed my first shoot in an area with streetlights  which made the shots bright enough to use. Some are still a little grainy as the cameras don't cope well in the dark conditions I need to have for the atmosphere of the piece and conventions of the genre.
I have created a roughcut edit of it and am overall pleased with the results. I need to adjust some of the audio and add in sounds such as footsteps, wheezing breaths and heartbeats but the flow of the piece and the continuity of it I am pleased with. Whilst creating my roughcut I also needed to get used to editing on a Mac as I have never used the programme before it took a little while to become confident with it but I feel a lot more comfortable with it now. Below are some screenshots of me editing the footage.

Rough Edit

Precision Edit

In order to judge whether or not it was successful I got a male and a female aged 18 to watch it and give me feedback. They are representative of my target audience and their opinions are vital.

They said:

• The use of the name Trevor was funny and they laughed when watching it which is really good as it means it is fulfilling it's purpose as a comedy horror.
• Liked the use of a variety of shots especially the feet shots which is also good as it means that it is interesting to watch and will hopefully keep them engaged.
• Liked the quick pace which is good as it means that it should hold the audience's attention. 
• Thought some audio was a little quiet so I will spend more time editing the audio to be louder and try and make my actors talk louder in other shoots I do.
• Sam falling might need a few more shots as it seemed a little clunky so next time we film I will try and film a few more cutaways I may be able to edit in to try and improve it. 
• Liked the atmosphere of the piece with the darkness and setting which is good as it conforms to the conventions of horror. 

From my audience feedback I will carry on using a variety of shots, try to keep the pace as quick, keep the setting and still film at night which I was worried about as I didn't want the shots to be too grainy but if the atmosphere is right some graininess is worth it and film a few more shots of Sam falling.
