After completing our first draft of our music video, we all had a chance to watch each others one from both classes and discuss what worked well and what needed improving, here is some of the feedback we got:
POSITIVES:
- Amazing cinematography
- Large range of camera shots used
- Editing was in beat with the music
- lip synching was perfect
- Main singer sang expressively
- Both actors looked natural with each other - no awkwardness during love scenes
- Lyrics and visuals matched well
- Clear narration
- Framing good
- Lighting good
- Good camera work
We were extremely happy with the positive feedback as we tried our best for our first draft. We were slightly worried that our editing wasn't good enough however the fact that everyone thought it was was a huge relief.
We didn't have many negatives, however the main one was that there was too much of the Genesis performance scene. There was mixed views on this as some people thought it worked well as there was many different camera angles in this scene whereas some people thought that it was just too much.
Everyone suggested that we should cut some snippets of her singing outdoors and put them in however we were hesitant to do this as we wanted all the Thames Barrier Park footage in one go instead of mixing it up which we though would look messy.
Therefore me and Fahad have decided that we will shoot her singing in an outdoor place, and we have chosen the location of Mile End Park. We chose this location because we are on a tight time schedule and this park is nearby and also has some nice scenes.
We have decided to put the Mile end Park scene between the genesis performance scene. We done this because we thought a change of scenery in the middle would be nice. Also, we chose to do this because our narration style now goes from...
- indoors (genesis performance, locker scene and café scene)
- outdoor (mile end park performance)
- indoor (genesis performance scene and dream sequence)
- outdoor (maze scene, riverside scene and park scene)
- indoor (bedroom scene and drama room performance scene)
we chose to do this because songs from indie folk such as Echosmith - Cool Kids and songs from country pop such as Taylor Swift - Teardrops on my Guitar also follow a patterned sequence like this, therefore we wanted to conform to the conventions of these two genres as our one is a hybrid of the two.
