G324: Rough Cut 2 & Feedback

This is our second rough cut for our music video. It has been slightly edited now and it is starting to look like what we hoped it would look like. The editing that has been done is cutting the clips we took to fit the song, the lip syncing has been matched pretty well too in this rough cut. We did however use a transition; the most obvious of was the one that was the into-television transition at 2:12. We are also still planning on re-filming some of the shots. E.g. we are going to film a shot of Amy locking the door so that the window-climbing shot is more justified and the storyline is a lot clearer because with some audience feedback that we got, some of them said that they didn't understand the storyline/narrative.



We have received some more feedback on our music video from target audience members, although this time it is for our rough cut 2, the positives and negatives of rough cut 2 are;

Positives:

• Lip Syncing is really good
• Visuals and music work well
• Good variety of shots
• Nice effects on video
• Good match on action
• Song choice is really good
• Good transitions and cuts
• Performance shots outside are great
• Nice colour effects on argument at the end
• Good zoom at start
• Good OTS

Negatives:

• Can't see eyes of actor in some shots
• Some more effects needed over shots
• Doesn't really look different to rough cut 1
• Camera shaky sometimes
• TV should turn on
• Speed up the flashback at the end
• Some out of focus shots
• Needs to be finished
• Some shots a little too long
• Indoor shots aren't brilliant
• Some shots need to be added in
• Not clear storyline

At the moment the negatives are pretty even with the positives, we hope to correct the negatives and have more positives than negatives on the next rough cut. We aim to get rid off all of the negative comments by our final cut.
