What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Our Pitch Presentation Feedback; When we presented our pitch presentation in front of the other students in our class we received very positive feedback and some constructive criticism, which we found very useful. Most the criticism came from our idea to try and film our video about summer when in fact it was nearly the end of the year and winter was around the corner. Everybody questioned us about what we were going to do. We checked the weather for the week every single day until there was a sunny day forecasted. This was actually a good thing because it gave us loads of time in-between to finish our course work and plan our video to the best of our ability and it also gave us time to order props to use in our video and this made sure we could film almost everything we had planned in the one day. Another criticism to our video was that we had too many suggested locations, we had so many different ideas and good locations that we wanted to include in our video but we was told that too many looked messy and was told to pick 4 strong, main locations to film as it will look tidier and more like a professional music video. Our original idea for the ending of our video was us all driving away in the car off to university but we were told that it would be hard for the audience to understand what’s going on if you all drive off together so we changed it to Gina driving off in the car and Emma waiting at the bus stop to leave. Our costumes were originally going to be summery and casual but another student in our class suggested that we should all wear the same thing or at least find a way which our outfits could tie in together as we would look more like a girl band, we agreed with this idea and made sure we all wore a dress or skirt in the field scenes and we all had the same flower garland on. When we filmed the other bits we made sure we all wore black jeans and a plain white top. When we looked back over our footage after we filmed we thought this looked very effective and it made our video look even better! Feedback From Our Teachers; Throughout all our blog work, filming and our final piece we received lots of useful feedback from our two teachers. When it came to our coursework, some of our blog posts were too vague so we were directed on what we should include and how to structure our posts the best way. We were told to include as many photos as we wanted as the more the better. Our teacher was the one who came up with the idea to order in some props to help us portray the summer vibe. We then as a group decided what we would like to include and what would look the best, we decided to all order a matching flower garland for our hair, we ordered some packets of holi paint to throw over each other, we got a packet of balloons to use when filming the field scenes, some sparklers and Chinese lanterns for the night time footage our teacher placed the order for us and they all came in time for filming. The beginning of our music video is filmed at school and in fact our teacher was the one behind the camera filming us making sure it was to the best quality, she directed us where we should be positioned and advised us on what we should do. We found this so useful and the footage came our very good. When we finished filming we started putting together the clips and editing it all together how we thought looked best. When we showed our media teacher she advised us to move a few clips into a different order and told us to try and get the lip singing synced as close to the music as we could or we would loose marks. After hours of editing she was really impressed with how the footage came out and how we used the props. Rough Cut Feedback Our rough cut was the first minute of our music video, which we showed to the rest of our class to receive some feedback. They liked it when we ran out the school doors and it faded into us running through the field, they said they loved the transition it was really effective and worked perfectly with the best of the song, everybody commented saying it felt like a really feel good video that you cant help but smile this was really positive and made us confident. The only criticism was that it would look better if we kept all the night time footage to the end instead of putting in-between the day time footage as it looks random.
