My class and I have been giving feedback to each other on what we liked about each others videos and what we think could be improved.
- The actors look like a real band
Filming - Strengths and weaknesses:
(Framing, range of movement, creating meaning):
-The framing and almost all movement is perfect!
- Could use a few more shots
- Shot 00.53.10 is really nice
- Two narratives blend well
- I like the shot at the beginning with the Ipod
- I really like the shot of the sun shining on the singers in the forest
- I like the high angle used of Elise in the toilet
Summary of filming feedback:
Most feedback from this section was positive and my partner I will make sure to add more shots as we to feel that we need to add more shots to our video to ensure it fits the conventions of a music video.
Suggestions of improvement:
- Camera kept steady all the way through video
- Need some more close-ups
- More close-ups of Elise's face to show her expressions
- Think you need more shots of them singing from different angles
- Have a side angle shot of Elise crying in the toilet
Summary of improvements:
Mostly our improvements from this section we're to add more close-ups and to have a bigger variety of shots, which we will take on board.
Editing - Strengths and weaknesses:
(Pace, cutting to the beat, lip-syncing, transitions/effect)
- Pacing and cutting to the beat are extraordinary!
- Good soft fades
- 00.11 has a beautiful fade
- Lip syncing is at points a little off, but they may be due to the editing being incomplete
- The pace of the shot in the beginning is to long, have more cuts in forest
- Lip syncing well cut to shots
- Music starts on point at the beginning
- I like the fade at the beginning
- Toilet fades are really nice
Summary:
Our peers mostly liked the effects and pace of the video, but said that the lip syncing could be timed better.
Suggestions of improvement:
- maybe have Elise faded in the background for longer
- Lip syncing should be improved but I think once the editing is done it will be fine
Summary of improvements:
Fading and lip syncing could be improved.
Creativity and Conventions:
- The actors look like a real band
- I like the way the opening and end link, it adds to the story
- The lighting and the use of real locations adds to the verisimilitude
- I really like the shot of the singers playing with the leaves as the tempo starts getting faster
- I like how the song slowly comes to an end, the singers start walking down
- I like them throwing leaves to the camera at the end and the boy covers the camera with his hand
Summary:
Our peers mostly liked the ending of our video.
Summary:
Our peers mostly liked the ending of our video.
Suggestions of improvements:
- Re-film Elise being shaken by her dad
- Why is there electric guitar?
- Man on left guitar strumming about to enthusiastically
- More leaf throwing
Summary of improvements:
The biggest improvement our peers told us about was the use of an electric guitar and the guitarist being a bit to over enthusiastic. We will change this when we re-film next week.
