!st Cut feedback

We displayed our 1st cut of our music video and we were given feedback by our teacher of both the positives and negatives of our production and it was as follows:

Holding Shot Steady


-First zoom out shot on Ashley - re do without the camera jerk, or use montage to cover the unsteady look.


Framing a Shot


-Good shot to open with (close up of Ash)


Appropriate Material


-Use beat at start of the video to link to suitable visual.

-Corridor shot - emphasise that it is strange - use empty corridor twice

-Improve sots by hedge.

-Approaching pump house, interesting - develop this further.

-Ashley's house boring - change.

-Add shot (school) to blank sheet of paper (dinner table shot) - reference to the "streets" video.



Selecting Mise en Scene



-Good noir shadow as Ashley leaves bed.

-Pictures are good ideas, but don't come across them.

-Last shot - good however, perhaps cover Ash with the sheet.



Editing for Meaning



-Start the music after captions.

-Stress the drama of the eyes opening - sound effect beep.

-Sitting down at the table scene - cut out the empty chair part.

-Good transition to school corridor.

-Good effect - paring action with beat in music.


Varied Shot Transitions, Caption and Other FX


-Use reverse effect - Ash moving in one direction, other people moving backwards?

-Leaves falling upwards?



Use of Sound with Images/Editing



-Some good ideas



Overall Comment



-"Good overall idea, but some shots lack impact - go for more strangeness/ weirdness, build up uncertainty in viewers - can they trust what they are feeling? Colour in last shot is good, use spot colour at other points".
