FEEDBACK: Film Practitioner

Overall feedback and my response:
Pros:
+ Some shots allow the film to feel more realistic for example the shot of the feet walking.
+ Enjoyed the cuts from one shot to the other that follow Rebecca while she walks around the house.
+ Likes the voyeuristic feel present in the shots where Rebecca is being watched by something in the cemetery.
+ Liked the traditional dialogue found amongst found footage films which our film also incorporates. e.g "why are you filming for"," turn off the camera". (This is something I also noticed when I watched TBWP since the main character's friends got annoyed at her filming their journey through the woods using her personal camera in addition to the professional camera and kept telling her to "turn it off" and "stop filming!" ).
+ No problems with the sound.
+ Liked how we went into a bit more detail by applying the fake blood onto our main character.
Cons:
- The transitions made up of the 50s TV and static effect used to cut from one shot to the other works well with the film within the film but not with the film where hand-held camera isn't used.(I followed his advise and removed these effects from the shots outside of the film within the film. After doing this I found that the scenes flowed better and looked better as well. However I kept the effect during the close-up shot of the DVD in order to make the object seem lifeless, without colour and reflect how the DVD will bring death).
- Add more cuts instead of zooms to make the shot more awkward and create impact.
