First draft of music video and feedback

First draft of music video and feedback

Below is the first draft of my music video, in order for me to understand what was good about the first draft and what was bad about it I asked my target audience what they thought of my music video after watching it back. I have posted the first draft video and feedback below.

Feedback on First Draft:

So, in terms of the idea of the music video, feedback from Alex suggests that the idea behind it is good and has so much potential. However, Alex preferred me (lead singer) being "a performer" rather than a narrator who is singing. This is because our idea is that I am the narrator and that I sing in some parts of the video (but not as the primary subject, so in less obvious shots and not centred), however it was clearly evident that Alex did not like this and it would make sense if I was actually performing in front of a crowd. 

In terms of feedback from Layole, he agreed that he liked the video, however, he felt that the shorts were far too long and that they "should be snappy and cut along with the beat"; this suggests that some of our shots were far too long and they need to be decreased in terms of length, this means that we may need to film some more bits because decreasing the length of the video will mean that we may not cover the whole song. 

Layole also said "the other thing I didn't like were the car shots, they were not really relevant and they didn't have the correct style, the look just felt wrong", judging from this feedback and Alex's feedback me singing within the narrative hasn't worked as effectively as we thought it would. I think I am going to change the style of the music video and maybe take myself out of the narrative completely and re-film the existing shots without me in it. To finish off, Layole also said "some shots need to be colour corrected and brightened up as they were dark" which means that when it comes to further post production I need to ensure that the video is colour corrected and brightened accordingly.
