As we have now produced our fourth draft, it is crucial that my partner and I receive more feedback this time from our peers, this will be the final set of feedback we receive as we go on to our final draft, this will help us to grasp any aspects that work and don’t and on what we could still improve in our video. During this draft, we began to finalise any effect and filters that we want to use, as well as any transitions that we want to make the final cut. Throughout the whole process of creating our video, my partner and I have become a lot more confident with the use of the Premier Pro software which has helped to enjoy creating our music video.

Draft 4 –

There is still some things that could be improved upon such as, the exporting issue that causes our video to go out of sync and some editing to the beat which has continued to be improved in every draft. Hopefully with two fresh sets of eyes viewing our video we will be able to move on to our final draft with a clear and constructive plan.

Peer Feedback –

Below is the feedback that my partner and I have received on our fourth draft of our music video. We have received two sets of feedback from two different people as to help us improve our video further as we near our final draft as well as what we’ve done well. We will take all of this feedback onboard when it comes to finalising our final video.

Peer Feedback 1 – 

Our first set of feedback suggests that we use more close up shots throughout the video to engage more with our audience. They also suggest that we look at some of the lip syncing aspects of our video as some parts seem to be out of time. My partner and I know about this issue and have recently discovered that it is an uploading issue that needs to be fixed. Finally, they have suggested that we use a longer clip of the ‘in loving memory’ card, this could benefit the emotion side of our video and help our audience to connect on a more personal level.

The feedback that we have received from this person is overall very good and that there is not too much that can be improved upon in our video. It shows that our narrative storyline is easy to follow and become engaged with and that there is an effective variety of shots and special effects throughout.

Peer Feedback 2 –

The second set of feedback received gives the same point of improvement as the first on the lip syncing aspect of the video. They have also said that we could improve how we edit to the beat as well as using more money shots (close ups). They have also noticed that some of our clips are over exposed. This is an easy correction to make our video through the use of the effects and editing panels in premier pro.

This feedback has show that we have a good balance between our performance and narrative aspects as well as our mise en scene fitting in well with the story. They have also said that there is a good use of transitions and other special fx that have helped to make a clear cut sequence.

Focusing forward to our final product, my partner and I will take on board all of the feedback that we have received to ensure that we have a high quality final product. This feedback has allowed us to have specific areas that need to be focused on in the time that we have left to edit to ensure that our audience receive the best video possible.
