Music Video – Rough Draft – Feedback
After completing our rough cut, we began collecting some feedback. I sent my rough draft to an associate of mine and he provided some constructive feedback.
Feedback:
“I feel there is a clear representation of a narrative, in the man playing and improving at football. I feel the football aspect and the DJ are edited together well. I think that the changes between the DJ and the footballer need to be faster in order to create a more energetic feeling. I did enjoy the chorus when it became more lively l. I would however implement more colour as this would help to make the video more attractive and engaging. Overall I believe that this is a good rough draft, but there is certainly room for improvement.” – Tom Porter

Analysis:
Positives:
- Clear representation of a narrative
- Performance and Narrative are edited together effectively
- Enjoyed when the chorus became more likely
- Good rough draft
Suggestions:
- Implement more colour to become more appealing
- Increase pace of editing
- Faster cuts between footballer and DJ
My thoughts:
I am pleased with this feedback as it matched my expectations. I am aware that there is still more work to be done. The suggestion to implement more colour is particularly good as we were planning on doing that anyway. I am also happy that there is an understanding of the narrative, but I still feel that it can be made clearer. So I will strive to add more clips that progress and display the intended narrative. As a group we are also seeking to make the transitions between clips smoother and faster.
