Video rough cut feedback 

 

Estimated current grade: C

Comments & feedback:

  • The first minute is really strong – excellent close-ups, a good performance element with an interesting location and background. Clear visuals that match the song.
  • The external locations are weaker in this rough cut – it doesn’t seem to fit with the initial minute of footage? Think about the overall structure of the video, any effects you could apply to certain elements or perhaps whether it’s worth re-shooting certain parts or creating a new section of some kind.
  • The performance in the art room feels quite different to the first section – is this deliberate?
  • It feels like some shots are on screen for a long time – think about pacing and editing. Is it to do with the amount of original material you have? It may be that you need to shoot more in order to have enough really strong shots for the full three minutes.
  • Along these lines, there are some good performance moments in this but they are uneven and mixed in terms of location / style. Can you even this out or add consistency for this element?
  • I can see what you’re trying to do with the ending but I wonder if the shots are strong enough? Another aspect that is worth looking at again for the final cut.
  • Finally, re-draft your statement of intent using Microsoft Word / Google Docs once you have completed print research and planning and reflected on your video feedback above. This will be the final draft of your statement of intent – due date on Google Classroom.
  • write all classmates feedbacks for video!

Three improvements/changes:
  • focus on external locations after the first scene
  • improve the camera quality for some of the footage

All music videos link to the theme to women empowerment Music video 1: Don't call me up rejects the boy coming back into her life- similar concept of my music video only uses 5 locations, switches back and fourth to same location includes many girls with the artist singing- will be used in my music video medium shots bright clothing and lighting medium close up shots back and fourth shows the boy trying to contact her back Music video 2: Nonsense quick montage at the beginning to show atmosphere of the party, of her getting ready girls hanging out dark atmosphere mostly medium close ups camera panning towards the artist Music video 3: Ciao Adios establishing shot...

Music Video introduction blog task This week's work requires  Media  Factsheet #69: Music Video . You'll need to log in to Google using your Greenford Google account to access this.  Read the factsheet and answer the following 10 questions: 1) What is the purpose of a music video? The purpose of a music video is to sell products, the most obvious of which is the song featured in the video. 2) How has the digital age changed the production and distribution of music videos? Prior to the digital age, allowing the audience full access to the product in the marketing was not too problematic. However, the development of new media technologies meant that music videos, and the songs along with them, were more widely available at any time.
