Peer feedback I have gathered peer feedback and have combined the results to give an overall view of what they liked and what I need to improve. By combining the results it is easier to see what are the most important parts which need to be improved, therefore I can prioritise these improvements to get the most important ones done first.

Pull focus

1. Favourite images and connotations.

Lip syncing

Quick cuts

Sunset colours

Birds in the sky

Water shots

Spinning

2. What aspects of the music video promote the track.• Lyrics and visuals match • Location of the video fits well with the lyrics • Realistic lip syncing • Lighting, bright and sweet (like the song)

3. How does the video use musical genre conventions Acoustic guitar Location

Country genre- lots of wildlife (mise-en scene)Shots of the country and sunset fits with the genre

4.Creative use of technical skills (controlled use of camera; variety of shot sizes; editing techniques; lip synch; pace and rhythm)

• Lip sync • Pace, rhythm good• Pictures instead of film • Fading into shots • Spinning• Good use of different shots • Time lapse

5. Areas of improvement.

I re-filmed the part which had my shadow in it

and replaced it with the non shadow footage.

This response made me look carefully at the rest

of my music video to make sure my shadow

wasn't in any other footage.Could see film-makers shadow in one shot

In response to that I chose a different font, colour and

size to make sure it was easy to read but still fitted with the genre of the music video. I then asked someone else if they liked the new text and if they could read it clearly. Their response was that they could read it clearly, easily and preferred the new text

over the old one.

Text at the beginning is a bit unclear

Some shots need flows between them

I disagree with this response as I believe that the shots fit with the

music and some of them, do not need a flow/ fade between them

as it wouldn’t fit in the beat of the music. Moreover some of the

shots have been made so they end abruptly and start the next

shot quickly as it allows it to keep up with the fast pace of the

music at some points in the song and creates the effect of a fast

moving video.

Some shots are cut to quickly I have amended some of the shots so they last a little longer.

However the shots are cut to the beat of the song so if some

of the short shots were longer they would be to long in

order to cut it on the beat or out of time. Though I have

tried to make some of the shots last a little longer.

Comes to an abrupt stop at the end

Improve the sunset sequence, a tiny bit out of time

Put in a fade at the end of my

music video to it fades out.

I have tried to make the sunset scene

at the end of my music video fit better

with the music and flow better.
