Feedback

Today we did another student feedback session in lesson. Our video is much closer to being finished now so this feedback we got will help us to sort out any problems and help us to reach a final music video.

Good points:

• Good idea,
• Funny and interesting
• Casting right - well acted
• Clear narrative

Bad points:

• Need more clarity on the rabbit hole bit.
• In bathroom  scene he has jacket on going in but then doesn't have it on when out, isn't clear he is in shorts
• Impact points at the start need to be edited a bit more to grab attention of the audience straight away, a lot better towards end

Editing update

In the first feedback session, we were told that we needed to make the impact points better and maybe put in a few shots of the Alice scene as Lewis runs away from the Grease scene because of the beats in the song at that point. So we went back to edit  to see how it looked and we decided that it looked better so kept it like that.

Student Feedback

In one of our lessons we watched everybody's music video so we could give feed back to each other. This helps because we can have people with fresh eyes on our video to see any mistakes we may not have noticed while watching it constantly, it is also nice to look at other peoples music videos to take a break from ours.
The feedback that we got was:

Positive feedback

• People said that they liked the initial concept of the video because it is unique and fun which will keep the audience interested and also fits well with the genre of music we are doing.
• They were impressed with the fact that we had synced the lip syncing nicely.
• The fast paced editing where Lewis turns from one character to another because it flows smoothly.
• They found the video funny which is what we wanted the video to be, this way we can keep the audience interested and laughing.

Negative feedback to improve the video

• One of the big things that we need to change is to hit the impact points better this way it will make the video stand out better.
• We also need to start filtering the video so that the quality looks better.
• We need to get the beginning finished because with out the beginning the video doesn't fully make sense.

Editing update

We have now editing all the different scenes, now we just need to add in the beginning and end.

Editing the Grease scene went well. Gemma made the transition between Lewis turning into a character from Grease look really good.






We have edited the Alice in Wonderland scene, it looks really good. We have slowed bits down and edited the running away bit so you can see Lewis from different angles.

We have also edited the Willy Wonka scene, the beginning of this scene features Lewis coming out of the wardrobe after jumping down the rabbit hole from the previous scene.
We added in a fade from Lewis coming out of the wardrobe to a point of view shot of him looking at the Wonka chocolate bar so that the audience are aware what scene it is.
We added an effect onto the shot where you begin to see the Oompa Loompa so that it is enigmatic and ask yourself, who is it? and also to show the confusion from Lewis point of view.

Editing update

 After editing the bathroom scene we moved onto the next scene, the emos. We have started the scene with a point of view shot of Lewis going into the room and a fade of a group of 3 candles to give an eerie and enigmatic feel.

We changed the contrast so it was more clear and not so pixelly. 

Overall the editing is going really well and is looking how we want it to.

 

Editing Update

We have begun editing, we cant do the beginning scene because we need to get the footage as we forgot to do one little bit on our last day of filming. However, we have edited the bathroom scene. In all of our scenes there will be a bit where Lewis is going towards a door and then opening the door so we will have to make sure that there is no continuity problems. I think we have done this quite well in this scene. This scene looks how we planned and we are very pleased with it.
