We showed our rough edit to Derek Bud from Youthouria and he gave us feed back about all our films. All the videos got on the website except ours. He said our was incredibly powerful but maybe too powerful. He explained that the video would be good for schools as a discussion piece because they need someone to watch it with them and explain it and talk to them about it to make it do its job well. He suggested to take out the first shot of the wrist and the knife because it was a shocking image to start with and if anyone was thinking about it then maybe watching it and seeing someone else going to do it would make them think about cutting if they where getting bullied. We need to take away the hate website because it isn't clear that its a diary about his life and getting bullied it looks like a website that is trying to encourage self harming because the shot it too quick to read what it actually says and even when you pause it on the page its still not clear so i think we are going to take it out. He also said that we need to make sure the number on the phone is taken out our blurred so you cant read it and the same with the email address on the msn chat. He said that on other bullying videos it usually lifts you at the end and gives you hope on the future but ours didn't it was depressing all the way through. His feed back was useful because he gave us ways that we can change and improve our video. This lesson or next lesson we are going to take out the hate website and blur out the numbers and address.
