Class Feedback From The First Episode

After the launch of the first episode of Lines, the episode was shown to the whole class and they gave us feedback. After listing both sets of feedback, from the class and from Pete, our teacher. The feedback from the class is as follows:

Sound levels need improving (some bits are louder than others) (Mentioned 5 times)
CD films logo too long (Mentioned 4 times)
Credits are too fast at the end (Mentioned 3 times)
Poor acting
Opening sequence is to repetitive
Editing of the video is good & works well
Nice logos, they look well made and effective to the audience
Poorly recorded narration
Inappropriate music used throughout the video (including the opening sequence)
Camera work could be better
Too many cuts
Script is too basic
Poor cuts used
Poorly planned
The actors need rehearsals before acting in next video as they don't seem very confident in the first episode (Mentioned 3 times)
Catchy song works well (Mentioned 3 times)
The stereotypes are not clearly shown in the 1st episode
Need more close ups
Need more core content
Visual gags of skeleton work well
Need more comedy rather than drama to make it more comedic
Continuity issues need improving (Mentioned 3 times)

Here is the feedback we received from Pete (Teacher):

When the character is holding the polos, there could of been a close up
While he was watching the 1st episode, he felt as if he was in a theater. There needs to be more use of close ups and shot changes
Voice-over explaining each character works well, needs to be more narration
Cut to show different characters
More planning is needed prior to next shoot (rehearsals etc) to avoid bad acting
High angle show works well, but panning shot doesn't work within the same shot
Sound levels need improving / editing

Upon receiving the feedback from the class and Pete, these are the things that need to be changed in order to make the second episode better. The sound levels will need to be changed, and also filming with the microphone closer to the cast in future. Rehearsals also need to be done beforehand in order to make the cast feel more confident with their role. The storyboard also needs to be stuck to. If all this goes to plan, we should have a very good second episode.
