After my own inspection of the piece, I found a few other minor issues, namely, the sound clipping at the end. The woman's voiceover is too loud, causing some distortion. This can be fixed in final cut very easily, so it is a change I will definitely make. It will, however, require balancing the music and sound effects as well. The distortion can be found around 2:00 minutes, on the lines "I'd just knock him out, and move in to the next one."
Secondly, the continuity error of the ransom message. The man states that they will meet at "midnight tonight" but when the detective is shown in the alleyway, it is very obviously broad daylight. We attempted to edit the footage to make it appear more like night time, but this negatively affected the quality of the video in other aspects, so we decided to leave it. Thankfully, it did not seem to be a major issue, as in the class feedback, no one mentioned it. Fixing this would require us either reshooting the alley scene or re-recording the voice over. It also seems unusual to have a kidnapper meet the detective in bright daylight, but this is too impractical to fix at this stage in the production.
We received some criticism concerning our mise-en-scene and time period. Supposedly, the costume and tape recorder were not from the same time period, however this is not something we can fix as we do not have more appropriate props available to us, and it would require reshooting, which we cannot do this late in production.
