Analysis of music video first draft
From our rough cut feedback we found what we could change to make our video even better. A lot of these comments included what we originally thought could be changed and some comments were things that we ourselves didn’t realise. For example many of our feedback sheets said that a few of our shots should be shortened to maintain the interest of the audience as they were too long.
At the very beginning when jack is walking through the arch and his shadow can be seen, the next shot shows jack not walking in the sun therefore there was no shadow created. This didn’t fit and we either needed to get rid of that shot altogether or re-shoot it so there was a shadow in the previous shot.
Most of the shots when Jack’s conscience is walking were too slow therefore those shots had to be re-shot with less of a space between the two subjects.
We also found that we did not have a good variety of shots for the band performance, we didn’t have any good close ups of the band nor of the instruments therefore we knew we would have to re-shoot the band performance.
Also the death of ‘Jenny’ people thought was to plain as there was no blood and was as if she was just sleeping therefore needs re-shooting.
People also expressed that they found the whole flashback/black and white shots confusing and did not understand why they were in black and white and what was going on at this particular part of the video.
People also got confused at how Jack was walking up the stairs however the next shot was seen in an underground subway; once again we need to make the storyline clearer.
The Millennium bridge shot was too shaky and the bridge was very busy therefore took the focus off the characters.
The mirror shot we thought would be good however the mirror seemed to be too dirty and also we used an effect to show the flashback finish and reality begins however that certain effect made the video look tacky.
Comments included such other things like the very end clip you could see jack smiling as he pulled down his hood, which people thought would be more effective if he wasn’t smiling.
However not all of our comments were bad, our teacher and classmates also wrote what they liked and would like to see kept in our video, these things included the writing on the wall of the subway, the walking when in time with the music and drum beat. Also the locations we used were good as well as the lip syncing.
