Today did we not only continue with editing, we had another opportunity to get some feedback from the class on how our music video is looking so far. We began from the beginning of our music video as we thought by chronologically editing the sequence would take the pressure of meeting the deadline slightly off our shoulders.
During to the lead up of our rough cut I believe we did not spend a good amount of time deciding on the right transition between one shot and the next in our music video. However, today we took the time to discuss the appropriate transition for the next shot. Furthermore, in our rough cut and our initial idea the shots varied between those owe filmed in Portobello and Camden Market, which we now decided to change and instead use all the Portobello shots in the first verse and the Camden Market shots in the second. This made our music video clearer in terms of our small narrative of a journey as once we left the first location (Portobello) we planned on not going back to it.
Once we applied these changes to the first verse, it was time to present it to the rest of the class to get an understanding of how they thought our changes worked. Overall I thought the feedback was great as the shot we now decided to use- and replace the old ones- portrayed the the happy and candid feeling which the class felt was presented well. Members of the class felt the performance I gave as a performer was convincing as the hand gestures and facial expressions went with the mood of the song- which was upbeat and happy.
I felt that the class got the happy vibe our group was going for as some of them felt a sense of happiness after watching what we had. Furthermore, I believe the location of the colourful houses and the bright clothing I was wearing added to the happiness my classmates felt as they gave off a warm and cosy feeling.
Receiving the feedback demonstrated that the hard work I have contributed is being appreciated and recognised. I will not use the free time I have outside of lesson to now continue editing the second verse of our music video and so on to the next, to a standard done of the first.
