Rough Cut 2

Given a Level 1 due to it being unfinished.
Good Points

• Lovely sped up shots.
• Good amount of cuts.
• Good guitar and drum shots.
• Good editing.
• like how the pace speeds up towards the end.
• like how it goes with the beat of the song.
• Locations fit the genre.
• Good angles of instruments.
• Creative editing.
• Good lip syncing.
• Editing matches the chaotic feeling.
• Flashing works well.
• Visuals to genre work perfectly together, definite style.
• Good use of different camera angles.
• The pace fit with the music.
• Costumes are well thought out.

Improvements

• Shadow moves across frame. We are going to re-edit this shot, we thought it looked good with the shadow but others thought it wasn't necessary.
• Some shots are too long. Once we have framed out the whole song we plan on editing some shots shorter and adding different new angles.
• First shot not relevant. We used the wrong part of the clip. We plan to change it and then see if people still find in irrelevant.
•  Lip syncing isn't in sync at the beginning. We need to cut the beginning of the shot where he breaths because that's what makes it seem out of sync.
• Some shots are darker the others. We plan on brightening the darker shots. But the band shots are intentionally brighter then the acting.
• A bit repetitive try a different location? We have another location planned and will hopefully be filming there before Rough Cut 3.

Rough cut 1

To be able to improve our work before the final cut of our music video we showed the video to a group of students to get their feedback on the rough cut.



Good points:

• the sped up shots look good and fit the genre of the song
• the makeup looks good and works well
• the costume fits with the narrative of the video
• the camera is steady
• the effect used on the shot looks good
• the shots are well framed

Points to improve:

• more shots are the band are needed
• some shots are too long
• see some unintentional shadows in some clips
• music needs to be added
• add all clips to finish the video

• To improve our music video we will film a large number of artist shots and more acting shots so we will have enough to finish the video
• we will also cut the length of some of the shots to keep the audience engaged in the video
• we will remove shots that do not work or have issues such as shadows and replace them with shots that will look good in their place
• we will also add music in the next stage of creating our music video
