To gain feedback on the ideas of our music video, Myself and Samiyah pitched our ideas to our Media studies class. We thought this was a good idea as they were our target audience. We got some feedback which will help us to improve our video. I have embedded a video of our pitch onto the blog.
Good Feedback, What worked well...
- Location worked well with lyrics and the theme of the song
- Range of different shots, sound effective
- Camerawork/editing
- Good detail about location
- Creative ideas, speeding up time
- Location of the band stand is ideal
- Representing the lyrics in the visuals
- Use a variaty of shot types and distances
Improvements
- Check for pixalation for extreme close up on the eyes
- Include notion of looking
- Genre characteristics
- Lighting, props and costume
- Ensure location shots are well lit
- Test out shot of the eye
- Ensure editing effect will want to work
- Explain an alternative if the close up of the eyes do not work.
How will I use this feedback?
How will I use this feedback?
- For checking the pixalation for the extreme close up of the eyes, I will test it out with my character and the camera. The theory i have is if i stand about a metre and a half away from my character the video of the eyes will not be as pixalated as it has more time to focus on the eye.Then, It needs to be uploaded to the AppleMAC and see if we can use the editting effect we want to do.
- I have uploaded pictures of the costumes we have looked at to use. We will only be using 2 costumes ideas and we want a directional storyline throughout the video.
- If they eyes do not work, Then we will fast rewind the video to make it look like a flashback and end of the flashback will do a white fade out and back onto the character looking sombre.
