The second draft of our music video has started to include our narrative performance. Unfortunately, our narrative shoot doesn’t align with our expectations and is sub-par, therefore it would make more sense to turn the video into a mainly performance driven video, compared to our previous plan of having it include equal amounts of narrative and performance. At this stage in the production, it would be slightly too late to film a second pick-up shoot, and since we are working to deadlines, it would be a more effective use of our team to try and make what we have the best it can be.
4 things that worked
- Performance is convincing and the actors look like they are playing the song and giving credibility
- All shots are well synced
- Variety of shot angles and distances
- Good camera movement to enhance energetic moments
4 things that should be improved
- Inconsistent camera exposure and lighting
- Lack of narrative content
- No filters
- Narrative doesn’t convey a lot of meaning
Reflecting on what could be improved is important to our group so that we can make necessary adjustments to narrative and performance to conform to the genre conventions of pop punk. Setting goals and targets will help structure our feedback and help filter out the unnecessary and help us focus on what is important to make the video a product that won’t be rejected by the audience.
