To ensure that we were on the right track with our music video, we received some feedback from our peers.
Peer Feedback:
‘The narrative for your music video is amazing and really easy to pick up from the start of the video. You have used a wide variety of shots and angles which I love as it helps create a connection with the audience. Aidan’s (Actor) acting was amazing, his facial expressions really help emphasise your narrative. I like how your performance was fairly basic as it not only contrasts well with your narrative but it also helps distinguish the narrative from the performance. Your aspects of mise-en-scene brought the music video together really well and the variety of locations is great.’
‘All the shots are focused and framed well. You have made good use of mise-en-scene to convey the narrative. There is a good variety of shots. I am not sure of the significance of the disco ball, I don’t think it adds much to the video. The lip-syncing doesn’t always lineup. Some studio shots can feel repetitive.’
Focus Forward
It was extremely helpful and crucial to receive feedback from our peers – this was since the majority were a part of our target population. It allowed us to understand that we had so far created a music video that conveyed the correct meanings and genre to our audience. However, some feedback given we do not feel is accurate but have taken into consideration. This feedback has given us confidence and will allow us to make a few minor tweaks before our final draft.
