Colour scheme - how do the colours of the film make you feel? Do they help with the overall aesthetic*? (Aesthetic - how pleasing something is to look at)
Transitions - is the movement between scenes fluid?
Sequence - are the scenes in a logical order? Would you change any of the scenes around? Remove any scenes? Are any scenes missing that might help with the overall logic of the trailer?
Anything else?

Use the following prompts to help with your feedback:

Sound - how did you feel about the use of diagetic sound* in one of the Viking scenes? (Diagetic - sound that is captured while filming, not added later)
Do you think more sounds should be added? If so, which ones?
Music - what are your thoughts on the soundtrack? Do you think the music matches the theme of Vikings?
Anything else?

If you were to make this book trailer again, or for future students, what three pieces of advice would you give?

How do you think the credits should look?

kimberleysprake — 2024-06-18 22:03:23 UTC

Think about:

Names / roles
Background - should it be an image, a colour, a video? Something else?
What information should be included?

2024-06-19 01:25:59 UTC

2024-06-19 01:27:00 UTC

go in the canoes

2024-06-19 01:27:24 UTC

I think that the colour was very accurate to the time, the transitions could have lasted longer to be read easily and the scenes were in the right order I believe.

i enjoyed the sound effects i thought they were the best they could be

act good

go in a tinny instead of a horse jump

dont go in justos fishing spot

i thought some of the transitions could have been a bit longer and the colour contrast with the viking and fire was a bit hard to read but other then that it was good

Review

2024-06-19 01:32:55 UTC

I think that the color scheme was accurate to the time line. It resembled the Viking age and it was a very good choice.

The transitions were good, it's smooth.

Yes the sequences are very good, they are in order and i think there done very well.

2024-06-19 01:34:11 UTC

I think the sound was all good the transitions from sound to sound could have been a little more clean but overall the sound was great.

Stella

Audio

2024-06-19 01:34:15 UTC

The sound was pretty accurate, no clue what music would be more accurate to the viking age. i think there shouldve been different music with different scenes.

2024-06-19 01:34:37 UTC

i think the colour was accurate to the viking ages and also the transition were pretty good, i also think we shouldve acted more scenes maybe when we were on the boat

credits

2024-06-19 01:34:50 UTC

The credits were done pretty well, the background for it was a pretty good choice i think.

good sound and audio

2024-06-19 01:35:31 UTC

the sound matched with the viking like landscapes

2024-06-19 01:37:55 UTC

2024-06-19 01:37:57 UTC

The credits should have everyone in it not just ruby and I and there should be bloopers

Stella

shouldve showed who the vikings were in the credits

2024-06-19 01:38:26 UTC

lajsndja

2024-06-19 01:39:33 UTC

Make it more dramatic and longer.

2024-06-19 01:39:42 UTC

like everyone said maybe some bloopers and show the vikings were

rewri — 2024-06-19 01:40:09 UTC

I think the colour was nice and the transition was smooth, I feel like we couldve gone without the running and maybe something else

Ruby

2024-06-19 01:40:29 UTC

shouldve also put in the bloopers

2024-06-19 01:42:32 UTC

We Definitely should have been in the canoes, we could have had a real dog so i didn't have to be the dog and have more people to make it more realistic.

Stella

rewri — 2024-06-19 01:42:51 UTC

The audio change was really good and had a good transition between them and fit the scenes really well

Ruby

Here's what I have so far...

kimberleysprake — 2024-06-19 01:43:57 UTC

add bloopers
add rest of names (i was going to, i promise!)
Slow down the transitions between scenes
Add some different music

what else?

rewri — 2024-06-19 01:47:27 UTC

I think the credits should've had all of us with our roles and the editor and director and all that, and maybe the background could've been a photo or video of all of us at the end or something like that.

There also could've been some bloopers after or before the credits or while the credits were going

Ruby

rewri — 2024-06-19 01:51:46 UTC

i think it would've been a good idea to see what we could've done with our suggestions like having canoes, a dog, have a budget for extra clothes and props but we did pretty good with what we had, have fun because that was really fun and give all your suggestions
