Responce to video rough cut

Did they enjoy the video ?


The class responded well to our first viewing, an seemed to be highly amused by our use of mise-en-scene regarding our geek. Our main aim when making this video was to make people laugh when they viewed our work and everyone seemed to enjoy the majority of it. The classic Teen romance theme seemed to work well and shots like when our 'geek' accidentally touches the hand of the beautiful girl got a positive response and all the class let out a cheeky laugh.


Does it stand up to repeated viewings?



The class we showed our footage to seemed to think that this music video would stand up to a repeated viewing. The performance shots were well shot giving the sense that the artist is actually performing, and the narrative was interesting enough to warrant repeated viewing.


How is the genre of the track apparent throughout the video ?



The Genre of our track is apparent throughout as the indie rapper performance shots occur all the way through. This gives the impression that the artist is part of the narrative and also involved with the music behind the storyline. The class seemed to recognise the genre and no one was confused with the link of visuals to music.




How do you perceive the artist/band? how does this construct/reinforce their image.



The class perceived the band as very humorous but also very cool and modern, not shy at taking the micky out of themselves in the pursuit of laughs. This is good as it reinforces the image of Example our artist as a jokey lad, which he is.

Name one shot you liked and why

After showing our video to the class it was clear that a few shots stood out from the rest. The shots in the coffee shop including the slow motion hand touch emerged as favorites. Another shot which received positive feedback was the clothes changing transitions, they were synced very well and once edited together looked very impressive.

Name one area which could be improved any how

The class and especially our teacher thought that our car shots were the weakest after seeing our first rough cut. The transitions between the shots of our cars needed to be tidied up and we were told to play around with the fades and dissolves to find one which looked better than the one we had alredy put in.
