Rough Cut Feedback

Our feedback booklet

The feedback we received from our class today is made up into two categories - strengths and improvements.

The strengths we received included:

- I like the use of shots

- Fading shots together works well

- Great atmosphere and composition

- I like how the background is fast and Emmais normal pace

- The atmosphere fits the song

- Good use of effects e.g. the timelapse + stopmotion

- Good lip syncing, instrument playing, lighting, cards, costume, location and effect

- Great opening shot

- Great shots of cards

- Feels like a music video already - set the scene with close up's very effective. First chours made me smile

- Varitey of camera angles/cut aways

- Scene set up well

- I like the night theme with the flashing lights and the cards spinning round

- Good performance and locations

- The opening is amazing: effects, shots, lip syncing, mise en scene, costume (there were ticks by all of these)

- Love the tea party sped up scene

- The tree with lights look great

- I like how the footage blurs then focuses

The improvements/weaknesses received were fairly similar. Most people thought some of the band performance was too dark and the contrast of this with the tea party being so bright made the video lose flow in some places

Other comments included:

- Too Dark in some places

- Less movement from singer - needs to be more focused on camera (there's not much we can do about this unless we re-shoot, which we don't have time for)

- Lip sync is off in some points or Emma giggles (we're going to cover up the giggling with cut aways)

- Should add more cut aways

- Try out effects on certain parts or brighten them up

- Need to draw attenetion to the speed up thing

- In some bits the performer isnt convincing
