In the opening scene the sound quality of the interview is good but the visuals need touching up in terms of the colour correction due to the dull colours which make the shot look foggy and boring to the audience. The shot of the punter sleeping in a boat opens the documentary well and gives the audience a sense of what they should expect.
The music fits well with the first few shots but not sure if it fits with the rest of the short film. This particular shot would work exceptionally for the opening shot as apposed to the interview. The shots that follow behind of the river are picturesque and the way that the opacity is dropped and faded into one another works really well but may need to be perfected to fit the music used.
The audio of the interviews underneath the music, I think ruins the tranquil river which is meant to be flowing- would be best if audio is taken out and shows more abstract criteria instead of the current sequence.
When you see the 'no mooring' sign in the river it is a very good shot when it focuses; it wobbles dramatically, to make this shot more effective you could stabilise it using after effects or premier. When the touts throw the tout boards in the air, the audio ruins the shot and needs to be taken out. Overall the rough cut is enjoyable but needs to be touched up in order to excite the audience and have an impact on the viewer.
