Music Video Rough Cut + Feedback

Below is the rough cut of our music video Here Before by Lissie. We have cut the first 40 seconds of our video to show the rest of our group, this ensure we get peer feedback on what we can improve and how. It also gives us help in whether people can identify things such as genre characteristics and the type of video.





We have received feedback on our video of both positive and negative. These comments will be constructive and help us to improve our music video in the final stages of editing.

Feedback on our video:

Positive:

• Music compliments Visuals
• Variety of shot types
• Blur/Focusing effects are good
• Scenery is good
• Fade in flows with the 'calm tone' of the music
• Mise-En-Scene fits well
• Fade in matches the song
• Originality
• Slow paced shots go well with song

Negative/Constructive:

• Lighting is a bit bright
• Lighting looks artificial
• Camera is slightly shaky 
• Miming looks a little off
• We cant lose 'flow'

From the costructive criticism given we know now that in the final stages of editing we need to ajust certain things, namely the lighting as we have used colour correction. We need to change our colour correction to look more realistic. In terms of some shots being a bit shaky, we cant go back and re film so we have to deal with the camera being a little bit shaky. Again with the miming we cannot go back to film it so we have to deal with it or adjust it with editing to cover it up a little bit. 

From this critisim we have been able to recognize the negative points of our video and come up with soulutions to help solve these bad points.
