Audience feedback

Varying Shots• The shots throughout the whole sequence were

different as they consisted of match-on-action, close-ups etc…

Opening extreme close-ups build suspense• Using the American football players face at the

beginning of the sequence makes the audience want to keep watching to know what happens to him

“Over and over again” is really funny• It makes you feel really sorry for the player but at the

same time it makes you laugh at his misfortune because it is such a terrible catch

Narration with editing worked really well• Having the narration over the top of the editing

made it feel very open to interpretation and it made you feel like you have a relationship with the character

Sense of character breaking fourth wall• Using the character at the beginning and a voice-over

at the end made it seem personal and breaks the fourth wall to the audience

Reaction shots were funny• Using the two football players at the end looking up

at the sky to see where the ball is going is funny as you can already tell it isn’t going to go well

Sun Glint off of the helmet worked well• The shot of the sun glint made it have a good effect

as the light is obviously behind the camera and it made it look bright but not un-focus the camera

The font worked well• The colour fit with the comedy convention and them

being regular throughout the opening sequence kept it within the realm rather than a music video

Some characters wearing different clothing• It made them stand out more than the others so we

were focussed more on them as they were filmed in a much more controlled way

Establishing Whistle• The referee whistle at the beginning of the shot

was good because it set the scene well so we knew it was going to be sport related before the footage

Good use of ball in the shots• The way the ball was captured in the shots worked

really well and the shooting of the ball looked really good as it didn’t disappear out of shot

Exciting• The overall feel of the film was exciting as it made

you want to keep watching as it is quite adrenaline filled throughout the montage

The voiceover was a little echoed• The voiceover originally sounded like the character

was talking inside of a box and the background noise could have been cut out

Narration sounds like he was just reading• The narration didn’t contain that much emotion

and it could have made him sound more upset about not being good at playing

Lacks some direction• It worked really well with the different shots but

there could have been more set direction with what the players were doing

Narration should have come in earlier• The sound of the narration could have come in

earlier as it sounds like the music stops too early before he says “wait”

• He also doesn’t say “wait” in a very enthusiastic tone so this could be improved

More diegetic sound• There could have been more diegetic sound

throughout the opening rather than just music over the top as it could be seen as more of a music video than an opening sequence to a film
