Since draft 2 of our music video, we have made numerous changes that we think add to the overall success of our video.

• We applied a coherent filter throughout the video on the performance shots in the studio.
• We have experimented with framing and scale on some of the bunker performance shots in order to enable the audience to engage with our star further.
• Replacing the performance shots over the repeated lyrics “Welcome to the…” with narrative shots was also a part of the process for draft 3.
• Flipping clips has also been experimented with as to make sure the video doesn’t seem repetitive.
• We also added in a new jump cut scene, applying the same effect as earlier in the video, to add coherency and purpose.

We asked for some feedback from two of our peers and this is what we received:

• “It has some great close up shots that are perfectly clear and in focus. Your lip syncing is also very well done as it looks like the artist is actually singing. I love your MES. The location you shot in fits in really well with your theme. The prop of the chain is also very intriguing and interesting. You could possibly play around with the filter effects used on your performance shoot to make her make up pop even more and could possibly add more contrast to your narrative shoots in areas to make the shadows even darker. Overall I really like your music video. It keeps me engaged and excited throughout.”
• “The overlay edits are very engaging and the colour gradient used for the performance video stands out. I would probably look at adding more effects to the chain clips and some darker tones into the narrative. “

Our targets and improvements to be made for our final draft are as follows:

• Add a blinking effect to the montage of scenery shots using the dip to black transition.
• Experiment with filters on our bunker and underground hospital shots to reduce the grain and noise of our shots.
• Make sure all of the filters are the same throughout, when they are meant to be.
• Check the lighting using the whites and blacks scales and Lumetri scopes. This should make sure each clip has the correct amount of exposure and is the clearest it can be.
• Add a title at the start of the song.
• Fade the ending out to black.
