FEEDBACK PUB SCENE

I received very positive feedback on this sequence from the rest of my group and from other members of my year group, especially the boys. My male target audience immediately picked up on what i was trying to achieve: male bonding and boasting over the subject of female conquests. Two aspects in particular were singled out for praise: the realistic mise-en-scene of the pub environment, props like beer and the warm cosy atmosphere and that encouraged the "boys will be boys" atmosphere. The use of visual codes such as the symmetry of the chairs, boys and glasses was also noted. this functions as a device to show how much in tune the boys are in their attitudes to girls and equally importantly as a visual bridge and match cut to the next scene which opens with 2 cocktail glasses.
