Music video Showcase

Today we held a class showcase so that we could receive feedback for our videos.
We hadn't fully completed our video yet but this was what we showed them :

When we compressed to a lower quality for just the purpose of showing our class its ruined the timing and the quality, thankfully however for a real coursework to be sent off we're keeping it as the same file so that wont be a problem.
Over all we received positive feed back, our teacher seemed to be overall positive about what we had done, heres some of her comments

- Love the baseball reaction
- Not sure about "fight"
- The syncing was mostly perfect
- Matches the style
- It's INTERESTING - you keep the variety going
- Seems that the style matches Taylor Swift
- Performance is really good and convincing
- Lighting on the dart board is perfect!
- The spinning looks like perfect space
- Did people get your narrative?
- Emma does evil/disgust well.. !
- Like the red lighting when singing into the camera

Its all really great feedback, but we do take the fight comment in to consideration, we've been told before that the perception of it doesnt work well as it looks like Amy's laughing. We will probably resolve this by refilming this particular scene as this opinion was also confirmed by a comment from the audience

"Amy laughs when I push her face in the dirt".

Other positive feedback we recieved was the high rating we got for the lighting, performance, costume as we had a wide variety , a balanced variation between performance and narrative, a strong narrative.

Also we're happy about that on each feedback sheet every person that that they would watch our video again because it was interesting/entertaining.

We did also recieve some constructive criticism aswell

- Some parts were out of sync
- "A form of revenge would be nice to see"
- "Didn't really get the fight"
- Amy laughs when I push her face in the dirt
- Brief black flashes
- Emma's face is a bit too comical at times!
- "wuh-ooh" - cut a bit shorter?
- Emma coming out of the car is odd
- Use more effects

The black flashes are mostly due to the fact we havn't completed it yet, and most of our out of sync errors were due to the compression of our file but we will go through the final finishing touches soon to cut away any of these errors.

We're not sure if we will use a real form of revenge, we think the build up is most important. We havnt finished our final scenes yet either, but we feel that Taylor Swift is portrayed as sweet and innocent, though this video does alternate from her usual conventions as it is quite a dark song, we think that an actual form of revenge would be to much of a diversion from the conventions that we want to stick to as its what the demographic is used to.

We also havn't gone through all the effects yet but we will be sure to explore more of them to create a more interesting piece.
