1. Audience Feedback The Revolution of Technology
Recognised faults which still need to be clarified and updated:
• Bringing our presenter up to the rule of 3rds
• Relational time laps video to bridge into interview
• Titles for presenter and interviewee’s
• Voice over for final time laps
Over the past 50years we have seen how various technologies have developed and
prospered to become incredibly revolutionary. During this documentary the viewer will learn
and be informed on a wide array of matters such as how technology has changed the way
we live our lives? And which piece has evolved the most within 50 years. This is the FIRST
CUT of our starting 5 minute extract which can be viewed on the Vimeo account link here:
