Final Music Video Fedback

This is the feedback my group and I received on our final music video. The music video has definitely  improved from the first draft but it look like it can still be improved for some people but as its a class feedback many people have different options and that why their feedback varies depending on their own personal views. However the feedback we receive is very useful and it helps us understand on the spots we can improve on and develop.

Our Response to the First Draft Feedback

As the main editor, director and cinematographer of the music video it was my responsibility to respond to the feedback we received and to improve and develop the music video. I decided on how we can reshoot the film, where we can reshoot and I discussed with Thomas how we can change the costumes worn by the artist to make him suit the genre even further. Before the artist looked like a Grime Artists instead of a Hip Hop artist so Thomas and I decided to make him wear jeans, designer shirts and shoes as well.

The opening scene also looked very grime so that is why I decided to reshoot the scene in Greenwich to make it look more like a sleek hip hop music video.

Now all thats left to do is to edit in the new shots and to respond to the feedback such as play with the lighting and colour as well fix the lip syncing.

First Draft Music Video Feedback

We have now received feedback from our class and teachers on our first music video draft and they have given us some points on how we can improve the video. Most of the feedback we received we already knew about but some of the feedback revived was new to us and it help us decide on what we can do to improve it for our final music video.

The main way we can improve the music video is to improve the cinematography. We decided for our future shots  that the main cinematographers will be me and James as I have many skills in photography and cinematography and we shall be using my camera. For the future shots we will now use my camera and my filing equipments such as my dolly and monopods. The shots were very shaky but we can fix this by stabilising the shots with editing and using a new camera with auto-stabilisation. A lot of our viewers also suggested to change the ending of the video as it ended abruptly and therefore the narrative wasn't clear in the video. We were also told that the studio shots were very long nd made the video boring so my group and I will fix this by filming some more extra shots.

Our artist was very out of sync as when he was signing he naturally opened his mouth for a long time and it looks out of sync and Jacob also didn't know the lyrics very well and therefore this was shown in our music video. We have now told him to practise further and hopefully improve in the final music video.
