Here is our teacher feedback on our second draft of our music video!
Summary
After watching our feedback video we have really been able to think about what we need to improve on and what is good. Following what our teacher said it is clear that we have some very solid performance shots which are synced well and have a well thought out cut time which lands on beat with the music. Our editing pace is chosen well and also reflects the feel of the song. Overall we can confirm that our performance is the best part so far but we need to diversify the showcasing of instruments and not use the same shots. Some suggestions we have taken on board for draft three is the further establishment of the girl in order to make it clearer her importance and link to the other half of the narrative. We where also told that we should re-use the fast pace of edit idea at the end of the video as to bring back original themes and to wrap the video up nicely.
Improvements to take away
- Make sure the use of effects is relevant (done correctly in the video just not the best places for them)
- Sharpen effect (Grain) isn’t used anywhere else in the video so no need for it
- Don’t whip pan to castle if it has no relevance
- Different shots of the performance, good amount just a wider range if angles
- Make the stabbing scenes more obvious and fast pace in order to express severity and urgency
- Far more establishment of the girl and the props surrounding her, mainly at the start, mainly things such as knife, face and doll
Overall I think this feedback has been useful as it will make our video better and has given us more ideas on how we can improve and how our video can be more understandable and easily watched.
