Our teacher completed a screencastify after watching our music video with some suggestions for us on how to improve but also what he liked and he thought worked well.

What went well:

• Good footage in focus and well lit
• Lip Sync is perfect
• The narrative is clear
• Great make up/hair and use of mirror as props
• Lovely close up angles e.g. high angle and ECU of eyes
• Editing to the beat with blinking works well
• Great sequence of them taking make up off and letting hair down
• Like the comparisons towards the end
• Good use of black and white
• Like the split screen

He also gave us some ways that he felt that we could improve. These were even more important as it helped us to make specific areas and the video as a whole even better. We valued his feedback and wanted to improve our music video as much as we could.

Improvements:

• Possibly make the true taking off of make up and hair later- this happens quite towards the start, you could include even more shots of your stars with the make up before they take it off.
• Switch the clips at the beginning so it starts with a close up of the star.
• Possibly make some of the shots a bit quicker to add slightly more variety.
• Switch the sequence of Anya at 2:16 to a mid shot going into a close up.
• The lens flare near the end is a bit bright and random.
• Lovely ending but maybe make it longer to drag out the emotion.

Overall I agree with his feedback. I think that by making these changes we can make our narrative and reflection of star image stronger overall. This will make the meaning even more clear for the audience and will impact on the viewer.
