First edit feedback

I knew that the cut that we had given to Simon was rough. Most of the scenes weren't together meaning there was big bits of black throughout. But it had all the scenes there and was  first cut. 
Hennie and I had said that the whole thing felt a bit flat but we knew this could be lifted by music and sound effects. Our editor Josh also had a lot of animation that he planned to put into the edit to lift it as well.
Simon's main points were:
-Not enough close up shots, he wanted us to get straight into the action to get to know the characters.
-Maisy unintentionally keeps looking to the camera, she does it so often that he confuses the audience to whether she is actually meant to be doing it or not.
-Big issue with crossing the line and peoples eye lines in the last party scene.
-The first scene is the biggest problem area- bad choice of shots, over exposed and in some areas soft.

We will pass all of these points onto Josh, so he can improve the edit and we can have a better end piece.
