Edit feedback

During the edit feedback session, we were unable to present our rough cut to the class as our editor was unable to turn up with the footage meaning that we didn’t get any peer feedbacks. However, we have watched our own rough cuts through and given ourselves some feedback that towards the end, because we are building up suspension we needed to have the shots cut a lot quicker for fast paced editing which was then added to the second cut. The first cut didn’t have any dialogue but was then later added with the male voice shouting which starts to build tension. The final cut we lastly added the female voice alongside with the male voice which put together starts to tell the story of the domestic abuse unravelling slowly as the film progresses. We included a strong element of sound design illustrated by the deep muffled sounds of the male shouting and the soft sound of the female being powerless against him displaying a clear confliction between the two and this was used to elicit empathy from the audience. A feedback we got from the actress was that the sound effects made it traumatic as the film progressed.
