After the first pilot show reel for the public, Tony Jones’ had various responses, and a few improvements I could make in order to make the video better for the public.
- He wanted the Buster Keaton video shortened, and to have the idea of Kylie Minogue coming out from one of the shops in the Buster Keaton video. However this was a bit too much so I simply merged the two videos together - so Kylie Minogue followed straight after Buster Keaton.
- After the discussion about too many titles, Tony Jones wanted to tone down the titles, and have them more subtle. He wanted more of Dave’s ‘Peoples Cinema’ title, and he felt there were too many logos at the start, so the class simply had the Long Road logo and the Cambridge Film Trust at the start - all the remaining logos went at the end of the show reel.
- He also felt the soundtrack to the archive footage was too lively, the same as what we felt from watching the rough cut footage.
- He felt the archive footage of punting was too ‘touristy’ for Cambridge, and to have more shops of town and Fitzroy street. With these adjustments, the show reel was made to suit Tony Jones (the client) and was edited more to his liking.
- The show reel looked considerably better once the archive footage was changed a little, and the music was changed to suit the footage. With the logos more subtle, the show reel focused on the actual footage rather than relying on effects to attract the audience.
- With more logos at the end rather than at the start, it was more organised and looked considerably better due to all of the adjustments made.
