Audience Feedback

This post will be notes on the audience feedback that i received. This was the feedback from my rough cut when a few fellow classmates watched my video making notes on what they liked about it as well as suggestions for improving my video.

1.
- When the symbols are hit they dont match the shot
-good lip synching but the shot lasts too long
-waking up shot ties well with the narrative
-walking shots are too long
-needs to have footage from the night


2.
-different times of day should be used in shots
-good shots of the band but some of the shots need to be cropped
-greater variety of shots needed
-lip syncing lasts too long

3.
-shots at night needed
-shots of the band are good but should be shorter
-ending on the door shutting is good
-walking shots need to be broken up more

4.
-wider variety of shots needed
-walking shots need to be shortened to keep the video interesting
-shots of the protagonist at night are needed
-the lip syncing is good
-however there is one part where it is slightly out of time
-some of the shots could do with an added effect or filter

5.
-lip synching is good and in time however some of the shots could due shortened
-shots of the band are good but they could be included more
-more angles of shot could be used
-shots at night should be included

6.
-shot of the protagonist waking up links well to the songs narrative

Props

When making my music video there were a number of props which had to be used to add realism to the video and to make the video effective and fit for purpose. I will be adding images of the props used below and explaining why i chose them to be in my video.
Gear4music Full Size Starter Drum Kit by G4M- BLACK
The image above shows the drums that were used in my video and were a vital part of my music video.

This image shows the bass guitar used in my video and like the drums was vital when displaying the features of a music video particularly an indie rock video.

The next image shown above is of the microphone and microphone stand used in my video which again are commonly used conventions in an indie music video.

This image shows the Samsung phone used in my music video as the actor wakes up and checks the time on his phone.

Rough Cut

This post will show the rough cut of my music video. This version of the video will not be the final version as my fellow peers will be evaluating my video pointing out what they like about it as well as mainly suggesting improvements for the video. I will be taking all of the comments into consideration and making changes to my video.
