Rough Cut Feedback

Today was the presentation of the classes music videos. This meant we would receive feedback from our teachers and class members, we produced sheets for everyone to fill in as they watched our video in order to gain feedback in the areas we wanted it as well as getting a range of peoples opinions.

We have scanned in all of the sheets filled in by our peers and our teachers so that we can have it here on our blog permanently to analyse and refer back to when we are filming our final cut.

As you can see from these images we have a huge amount of feedback and it is all incredibly helpful and we will look at it all in lots of detail to ensure that we make our video the best that it can be.

The main thing we are really happy with as a result of this feedback is that everyone seemed to understand the narrative that we were going for which was a huge relief for us because it is quite a hard narrative to communicate. Therefore we know that our actors and choice of shots were able to represent the things we wanted to well enough for everyone to understand.

One thing that we were aware of already before our feedback was that our performance footage wasn't as good as it could have been. We knew that this needed to be re-filmed but this feedback confirmed that for us. We also got some more specific points about it relating to band members, costume and the mise-en-scene which we have found really helpful as it has shown us things we haven't really picked up on ourselves.

Overall, we are really happy with the feedback we have received and it has highlighted some key issues for us which will really help us work out what we need to focus more on to achieve the desired effect. We will be referring to this blog post throughout the project to ensure we meet the feedback and improvements we have received here as best as we can.
