Feedback On Rough Cut from the target audience

Class Feedback On Rough Cut

From the feedback that we received from our class, the strengths were that the framing of our shots were good and some of the shots that we took were good. This includes the shot were the artist is walking towards the camera and the camera is moving backwards.
A weakness is that some shots went on for too long as they went cut to the beat. Also, a filter is needed over some of the shots as they look a bit dull and needed to be brightened up. 

Overview on todays lesson

For todays lesson we aimed to finish putting all our footage in order for our music video. We also want to start adding special effects as we like the idea of our music video featuring a range of different neon colours.

The changes we have made are replacing the clip at the start when the singing starts to the clip where the artist was walking towards the camera and the camera moving backwards.

Altogether we hope to finish editing the whole music video successfully by thursdays lesson.

Reflection on the Rough Cut Feedback

Reflection on the Rough Cut Feedback

On our Thursday lesson our teacher looked at our video. Some of the feedback that we got was that the time lapse that we started off with didn't make sense and seemed to be out of place. Also, he felt that we needed to start with a different clip when the singing started, as the movement of the camera in the clip didn't match up to the beat of the song. Since we used two different camera's to film our footage we have to put a filter over the video so that you can't tell the difference between the footage used. Also, the framing per second on the footage from the two different camera's was different. Therefore we had to slow both of them down to 23.5. 

Taking on board the feedback we made some adjustments to our video. This includes changing the clip that we started with when the singing part of the music came. We replaced it with a clip where the artist was walking towards the camera and the camera was moving backwards. We felt like this clip was suitable to be placed at this particular point in the music video as the movement of the camera matches the beat of the music. Also, further improvements that we need to make is that we still need to put a filter on so that the footage from the different camera's match up and to deepen the colours within the video so that they look much richer because at the moment the colours look a bit flat and dull. We will place the filter later during the week once we have completed most of our editing and have place the majority of our clips in the right sequence.

Rough Cut Feedback

Our main overall feedback that we were given was that the brightness and contrast of our video needs to be adjusted as it looks a bit flat. We need to deepen the colours in the video so that the colours look deeper. Some of the improvements that need to be considered is that the scenes of Tia dancing need to be edited and placed within the video. We decided that the edited dancing scenes will be placed within the video when the beat starts to pick up. Also, we decided that we will place a filter over the footage to give a more pastel effect.

Production - Filming Session 5

Filming Session 15/11/15

On the 15th of November we went to film in Alexandra park. We filmed some shots of Jessica signing and a few scenes of both Jessica and Tia 'messing about' and 'having fun'.

We filmed again in room 333 to re-shoot some of our base tracks as we felt the previous time we filmed, the red lighting was a little to harsh. We also shot some scene where Tia was dancing against the green screen. 

Developments

After our pitch we did a bit more research and found a new location where we could film. We found an exhibition at the welcome collection by Ann Veronica Jannsens called 'State of mind'. Its an exhibition of coloured mist which tied in very well with our synergy of different vibrant colours.
