This is our first draft of our music video for Rango by Catfish And The Bottlemen. Overall it went together fairly easily as we had plenty of useable footage to work with and a fairly vast choice of shots. I think what we created was decent although I think there are certainly areas which require improvement.
Positives:
- Fast pace of edit at the start
- Cuts follow the beat and pulse of the song
- Good lighting in most of it so it isn’t jarring
- Edits make sense and work nicely together
Negatives:
- Not enough variety of distances ie; Close up
- Some shots are held for too long
- Could be colour corrected in areas, potentially black and white
- Potentially more energetic performance from actors
Targets to improve:
I believe in order to improve what we have we may need to get even more shots and add in a wider variety of distances, we need to add more transitions swell as there where very few in our current video. I think we need more energy from the actors aswell. I think overall this first draft is fine but it can definitely be improved and I think us lacking some shots really impaired our ability to create it to its fullest.
- Far more transitions
- Colour correction
- Higher energy performance
- Don’t hold shots for too long
- More angles and distances
