Draft shooting script feedback

Whilst presenting our draft shooting script to our peers, we received a variety of constructive feedback. Considering this was our first draft, there were inevitably a number of factors that needed to be altered when it came to creating our final shooting script.

One comment that we received was that we should specify who the character was in our shooting script, as opposed to simply writing "girl".

Another comment that we received is that we should include more locations throughout our shooting script and include more detail in general - some of our peers said that the information included was too vague.

Some positive feedback that we received was that we included an effective amount of different shot types throughout our shooting script, we aim to apply this variation of shot types to our final shooting script whilst adding more detail regarding location and characters in order to improve our final product.
