Music Video Draft 3
After listening to the feedback from our teacher in the screen castify, we made and improvements to our music video to help make it more flowing and more interesting for the audience.
Changes –
- We blurred the edges of the rectangle of colour in our first water scene to help the black and white of the background fade smoothly into colour.
- We cropped out the studio scenes of the model because they didn’t fit in well with the narrative and the model didn’t have as much charisma in them.
- We took more nature clips, such as close-ups of flowers, and embedded them into our music video to help portray the narrative of the character being happy alone in nature.
- We also involved new footage that we had taken which helped to further illustrate our narrative.
Targets –
- We still need more videos of nature and wildlife.
- We need to add in transitions between clips.
- Put together more effects on some of the clips.
- Acting need to be more exaggerated by the performer.
Some peers gave some comments from watching our Draft 3 which will be good to have an outside point of view for improvement and what is good.
First of all i really like some of the effects you have used from the mirror effect on Alice to the one on the flower 15 seconds in. I also think you have used a nice variety of locations. I especially enjoyed the one of Alice laying down on the glass and her in front of the quote board thing in town. A few areas where I would aim to improve are the section in the video where it is just a black screen I feel you could utilize that space more effectively with possibly some more shots of the landscape or even to add a section of narrative in there. As well as this I feel you could possibly use a wider variety of shot distances especially at the start of the video. And finally I loved the shot of the dandelion. Maybe at the end she could blow it out or something or light it, I just feel like it’s quite an interesting shot and I feel like you could include it multiple times.
Targets for improvement –
- Still need to check and change scale in some of the clips
- Still need more footage
- Add in more nature clips
- Try to get more angels or distance of shots
- Maybe add in some more mirror or duplicating effects
