Feedback after rough cut

After showing our rough cut to our class, we had a varied discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of the music video on the big-screen, and what we need to do before our deadline.

From our filming and editing, we knew that our performance sequences were the strongest parts of the video, especially as Matt (Grainger) experimented with a series of effects to create the needed tempo and effect within the video. The quick cut between the performance clips in relation to our storyboard are also strong. Yet, we have decided to do one more performance shoot to provide filler shots for the video and to get more close-ups of the singer to show the relationship between the visuals and music, as that was our main criticism.

We are also aiming to re-filming parts of the narrative, by using more running sequences to add/ create the fast-paced tempo within the narrative, as that two was a main criticism of our video.

We also need to take mise-en-scene into account as part of our performance shots in the school gym have a classroom chair in-shot, as a drum stall was unavailable, so the likely resolution is to zoom the sequence to cut the chair from the sequence and make the performance more realistic.

Overall, the response to the video was positive, in a way, we just need to 'fill-in-the-gaps'!
