Rough cut and Feedback

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQQCIAJ0GRQ&feature=player_embedded

We asked 20 students to watch out music video and give us some feedback on how we can improve it. At the very start of the video there is a jump of when the girl in the middle of the two boys was meant to disappear. This was suggested to be more of a smooth dissolve rather than a jump. When we are editing our video we will be sure to make this change as we all agree that the editing could be better, and as this is at the very start of the music video we need to ensure that its an eye catching opening as this sets the first impressions for the viewers. 16/20 people said that the ‘cube’ effect does not fit with the video, therefore as this idea has been stated by 16/20 people we will be sure to make this change. 20/20 people said that the clip where the girl is collecting the petals from the heart shape and putting them back onto the flower, it was said to be a very original idea. As this rough cut is not completely finished everyone that viewed this clip stated that we must fill in the black screens with footage, be it band performance of the narrative element. The band shots were said to be very original and filmed to a high standard, everyone said that they would like to see more band shots as these are to such a high quality.Overall we still have a lot more work to do within our music video and we will ensure that we meet the deadline. We have lots of footage to fit into the song and we will edit this to a high standard.
