Finished Rough Cut and Feedback

Here is our rough cut to our video for 'What A Life'. After watching through the video the audience will certainly recognize some gaps, which is where the footage we filmed just didn't fit with the rest of the video. We also watched the video with the rest of our class and received feedback from our classmates and teacher, this was very useful as the constructive criticism has revealed to us that changes need to be made to improve the music video. 

After viewing and submitting feedback for the rest of the class we received our feedback from our classmates, this has helped us greatly. The points which our class thought needed changing or improving were: 

• Certain shots such as when Glenn is holding the signs is rather repetitive and some too dark to see the sign clearly.
• Some shots are too long, more cuts need to be made to break up some lengthy shots.
• Some of the lip syncing is slightly out, this needs to be perfectly on time with the song.
• Using more locations will show more of London's colourful culture, as we filmed in a small number of areas. 
• There are some areas of the video where it is blank for a second or so, this needs to be filled with appropriate footage.
• Some of shots are rather bland, with little colour which can make the shot look dull.
• More close-ups of Glenn playing the guitar and when he is singing.
• Needs more varied shots, such as POV shots, long shots, tracking shots and also use more angles when filming Glenn. 

Feedback From The Class

 Above is an image of the feedback we received from the class. The bullet points are the most common areas of improvement the class thought we should consider, and the image shows all of the feedback which also has some positives such as many thought the opening and ending shots were appropriate and effectively shot.
