Comparing our films

When viewing one copy of our film, I personally wondered whether the storyline was too hard to follow. Therefore myself and Jasmine created another version of our film, with clips in different orders, in order to try and help the audience understand our films storyline. However, when showing both copies of the film, the original and the new version, we found the audience generally preferred the original, for example comments were made such as : "The first one is easier to get" "The second version makes sense but is not as detailed as version one" "The first film was better with its use of angles to illustrate the story" "The shots in the first seem a bit too long at times compared with the second, but the first is better" "The first movie we were shown seemed to have a more interesting narrative, whereas the second one was still interesting, but seemed to lack something" "Both were good but I prefer the first one" After looking at comments, we decided to keep the original version of the film. However the excercise did ease my own worries and helped us choose between the final copy we would use, and also we took aspects of the second film such as shortened shots in the robbery scene, and put them in our original copy, improving our film greatly.
