Above is draft four of my music video. After taking into account my feedback I can visually see that the music video flows fluently and all the gaps are filled. After adding the improvements from my feedback my music video looks much more professional and enticing.
Below is my peer feedback I received from another media student:
Positives:
- Variety of shots
- Good lighting
- Locations and outfits fit the theme of the video
- Starting shot is a good intro but could make it less shaky by using effects
- Good low angle shots.
Negatives:
- Some of the lip syncing at the start aren’t in time with the music
- Could improve the quality of the jump cuts
- Could add in more transitions to make the video more fluent
- Could add in more shots of the girls to break it up more so it’s not singing the whole time.
- Maybe zoom in to have more close ups
Below is the feedback Summer received from another media student:
Positives:
- I really like some of the timing within the shots and how you encapsulate the summer feel, which matches your genre well.
- I feel that you have successfully used a varied shot of angles and shots, creating a great momentum and flow to your music video.
- The mise-en-scene is achieved excellently, and perfectly emphasizes the summer vibe.
Negatives:
- I think that some of the shots feel slightly out of time, especially at places with the lip-sync, I feel with some tinkering this could be improved.
Lastly here is the feedback that Zoe received from another media student:
Focusing forward, we are happy with how far our music video has come from the start. We appreciate all the feedback we have received and will take the comments into account. We are still keen to add a vintage, retro feeling filter as we think this will make it all come together, represents our genre better and be a fun, incising way of splitting our lip syncing clips from the montage. We will use the filter to make the montage clips appear to be in a retro movie vibe, as if they are looking back to the summer when they were having fun with their friends. This will help our audience to feel connected to us as they will relate to missing their childhood summers and will feel nostalgic.
