Audience Feedback

Now that we have completed the rough cut of our video, we have shown it to the rest of our class, giving them sheets of paper to write down their feedback. This feedback will be critical to the development of our video as we want and need to know the strong and weak elements of our video. By using the rest of our media group to peer assess our work is useful as they can spot things that other people may not and may offer us some useful advice.

After we recieved back our feedback from our peers we were very happy. The comments were very postive and we are very proud of what we have accomplised already. There were a few things that the group pointed out to improve our video such as:

The main responses we received were:

• The editing matched the pace of the music well and that there was a good distinct change between the beginning and where the music builds in the instrumental.
• Angry scene (instrumental) was effective and lighting and pace of editing helped achieve this
• The alleyway however did not match editing and most people felt the pace of cuts needed to be faster
• Some shots, such as the strings coming down, were too dark
• There were extra clips in the switch between shadows and no shadows (chorus)
• The pace of editing in the forest could be slowed down
• The clip with lip-singing was too long and needed cuts between
• overall people really liked the idea and concept

Now that we have idenified the weaker parts of our video we now plan to impove this, and re-film and re-edit these parts.
