During the lesson on 11/10/16, the class came together to view a rough cut of what each group had achieved with their music video so far.
After the viewing of our rough cut, the feedback that we were able to take away from both teachers and classmates is as follows:
- The comedic nature of our video that we had aimed to convey translates well and forms a clear part of the framework of the project.
- The slow-motion footage, combined with the close-up shots of the artist's face/lip-syncing etc. along with the abstract guitar playing also work well and do not contradict each other as we feared could have been a possibility before we had begun editing.
- However, one suggestion was that, while the close-ups of the artist and the 'playing up for the camera' nature of the shots that form the majority of our video so far seem to work well, what we need is a variety of shot styles, predominantly including more of the shots where the artist acts in a more 'candid' manner and does not seem to be addressing the camera directly. Fortunately, some of our unused footage from the Kensington shoot fits this profile of shot, and we hope to be able to use some of this footage to broaden the shot variety in our music video.
