Audience Feedback - Initial Edit

Today we had a preview of our rough edit to a select group of candidates in ordeer to gather feedback concerning the negatives and positives of what we had. However due to our ever changing idea it wasn't a significant amount of the video that had been produced so people were required to base their judgements purely on what was there.

Mise en scene

- Good use of glitter/light effect on the drums

- Fire spinning is different and gives a unique edge

- Very professional scenery

- Good use of lighting creates 'mystery'

- Boxing clips are very lack luster and bring down vibe of the overall video

- Random punching bag scene ruins smooth flow of the other shots

- On the verge of a good conceptual video but needs to link the scenes better

- Currently level three

Editing

- Edited to the pace of music creating synchronous flow of shots

- Fast pace retained audience attention

- Good use of conceptual methods by adding subtle effects

- Make sure every shots fit with the beat

- Level three or four

Cinematography

- Variation in camera shots

- Close ups of glitter create stylistic effect

- Tight shots retain audience interest

- Use more unique shots to try and relate back to genre and type of video

- Have more angle shots

- Worried that we don’t have enough footage to fill rest of the song as we don't want to bore people

- Level three

Creativity

- Immensely original idea

- Themes of the song transpire through the shots

- Use techniques to juxtapose actual themes of the song rather than portraying a literal meaning

- Use of fire spinning and glitter creates unique visuals not normally seen

- Have more props and possibly more characters

- Level four

Genre

- Leaning towards grungy look

- Not instantly able to recognize genre with greater though

- Inspire that we include all aspects of the songs genre and project that through the shots, mise en scene etc

- Leaning towards rock

- However still has suggestive themes of other genres which retains audience interest

- Level three

Intended changes

 In light of these changes we intend on:

- Re-shoot boxing scenes and portray them in more stylistic conceptual way

- Have a greater amount of shots by trying to incorporate performance in a simple way

- Shoot form different angles

- Have a constant thread to relate back to throughout the video

- Make sure professional shots remain constant
