Sleeves Documentary Rough Cut from Tom Crump on Vimeo.

For our tutorial, we only had a rough cut both of the film and sound, with the video being without sound. When showing our tutor this, we quickly became aware this was a mistake, as we were unable to portray what we were hoping to eventually achieve in our film. This lead to our tutor questioning what we were wanting the audience to get from our film and what we were trying to achieve with this film. Following this tutorial we had to question whether we wanted our audience to emphasis, or if we wanted to educate them or if we wanted to do something totally unique.

Our original idea was to place different audio over the tattoos, making the audience think and guess which reason matched with which tattoo. However due to this tutorial, we quickly became aware that this would not lead to our film being successful as this would only confuse the audience.

As a group, following this tutorial we have decided we need some more interview material to add more depth to our film. We also agree that we need a score which will add pace to our film, as well as evoke emotion when it comes to our more personal interview material.

Our tutor did mention that our film was very aesthetically pleasing and were of a very high quality. She also mentioned our sound quality was very clean ect. This feedback encouraged us as a group as we felt like these are two areas we were very conscious of when filming and we aimed to create something of a very high quality.
