• Pointless shots used
• Confusing genre (comedy or drama?)
• Acting is not very good, could be better
• Spy could of been done better, e.g appears in the room like is the skeleton
• Silent moments ned sorting out
• Need quicker cuts
• Continuity works well
• 'Jaws' sound / music cuts in too suddenly & drops out to early

Teacher feedback (Pete)

• Continuity with previous episode (costume, scripting) works well
• Elliot's character has been developed well
• Use of jaws music?
• Suddenly goes silent
• Much better editing than the 1st episode
• Add footage, where it goes black / silent?
• Like the taster for episode 3 at the end

After looking back at the feedback we as a group have recieved today, I can clearly see that there are a few very important issues which could do with changing, but of course episode three is already in the editing process so all that we can do as a group is to do any editorial changes, and do the best we can to adress any other errors / issues with it.

The main areas of concern raised in todays feedback session were:

• The sound levels are still not correct
• The story line is confusing
• Too much in one episode

If we as a group were to create another episode of 'Lines' (episode 4) then these would of course be at the top of my list as to what to bring to every ones attention during the shoot, but as I mentioned before, episode 3 is the final episode of lines, so if there are issues with the sound levels, story line or content, then there is not much we cna do, apart from do the best we can within the editorial stage of production. The fact that we cannot correct much now iss mainly due to the fact that the 3rd episode is due to be released onto youtube tonight at 7pm, and due to this deadline we are unable to re-shoot any errors within the final episode.

Overall the feedback that we recieved was very fair in my mind, and has given both me and the other members of the group a great inisght into where this webisode series has come and gone during these past few weeks, including the down sides and up sides of the filming, productions, and publising process.
