I "shared" my second test edit on Facebook and asked for feedback and suggestions for improvements, in order to stay in-touch with what audiences want to see. This is very easy to do nowadays due to the power of social media.
I received some feedback, and came to the conclusion that the scene cuts from the road to the park too suddenly. I already thought this to be so, but the feedback has made me sure of my decision to add another shot in-between those two shots. However, addressing the point about the shockwave hitting the camera too quickly, I will not change this because I intended for it to be fast in order to represent the speed at which the world as we know it is destroyed.
I agree with the scene needed a new shot in-between the dog jumping and the explosion shot, so I will probably add a shot of leaves blowing from a tree in order to slow the pace down again, and to represent the death of life (leaves falling from tree).
I will also be shortening the shot of the swings as I too now see that it lasts for too long. The current length of it brings one out of the scene and atmosphere as it makes it apparent that it is being filmed.
