After we completed our second music video draft our teacher gave us some feedback via a screencastify, which is shown below. Her notes were on the most part positive but there are definitely things to improve upon.
Positives:
- She thought the jump cut sequences were effective
- Good editing to the beat
- Likes the black and white colouring on the lip syncing shots
- Extreme close ups of for example the eyes are effective
Improvements:
- Likes the black and white colouring but it should be on all of the lip sync shots
- Zoom, scale and position some of the performance shots differently
- Quicker pace and more close ups during the crescendo coming up to the last chorus
- “Welcome to the” needs to be narrative rather than performance
- Make the second shot of the chains different e.g. flip or reverse it so people don’t know its the same
- Try to lighten the clip in the wall as it is very dark
