I will change these things that my teacher has mentioned, as they all play a role in making the video more coherent and consistent with a narrative that makes sense. It also improves the overall elegance of our music video.

First Draft Feedback

Our first feedback received a reoccurring level of feedback. The majority of our feedback included the video including too many shots of our artist singing, too many similar shots (framing and angle), no effects (incomplete) and finally too little transitions. Therefore to improve this we will firstly need to rearrange the order of shots and complete the length of our video before applying after effects to exaggerate our image and to create a stronger link between imagery and the lyrics/sound. This could be achieved through finding new and interesting effects to give the video more coherency, because otherwise the audience will gradually get bored with the similar and repetitive singing shots that will lower our overall marks. Another potentiality would be to get some more filming done, so that we can accordingly fit in the correct footage that suits our video best.

Second Draft Feedback

Teacher Review- prior to first draft

Mrs Brookes thought that some of our shots were too similar, thus she recommended that we apply more variation to our music video. Similarly, she thought that we needed to include more group shots of the guys 'having fun' as a majority of the shots are just of our main performer Paleme (Jordan) singing to the camera. Although this draft hasn't got any after effects on it yet, because our group is planning to make it colourful and visually more vibrant. I will now attempt to change the video in accordance with our teachers advice, so as to get the produce the best possible music video and receive a grade appropriate to this.

Group reflection

In our group Sam has been placed in charge of the editing and filming part of our music video. So far, he has implemented a lot of time into the editing but more time needs to be placed on the filming side because it seems as though there isn't enough coherency throughout the music video; thus, our group have decided to try and create more of a narrative or storyline that will be closely connected to the lyrics of the song.

Jordan has been put in charge of the magazine cover and various other tasks, he is currently an A level art student so the skills that he gained from that have played a vital part in the progess of Jordan's tasks. He is also our main performer so most of the time he is going out with the group for various filming or sometimes photography.

Antonio has been placed on digipak duty, our group as a whole have been attempting to centre on what our synergy will actually be, at the moment it seems to be 'nature' which is perfect because all of our filming has taken place in grassy or forestry areas. Antonio has been doing well so far and will try to improve our digipak even further.

Harry Foord has the website objective, which is currently taking a long time to complete, not from lack of effort but from our busy schedules; some free time may need to be sacrificed in order to complete these tasks to their fullest potential. Harry has also been carrying out the various other tasks that have been appointed to our group.

Overall, I would say that our group has the determination and willingness to complete these tasks to a good standard, but we just need to focus on what needs to get done and prioritize certain things.

Scene Inspiration

Here is a short video clip of how we found inspiration for types of scenes and shots from videos, 'yamborghini high' and 'the hills'

Song ideas feedback

Following our song idea presentation we received feedback from the other class groups on what they believed to be our strongest song choice and what one they believed would work the best and how we could improve our strongest idea.

Song 1 - 'No option - Post Malone.
Our feedback for this initial song idea was very contrasting. This is because the majority of our feedback consisted of how the song was too upbeat/fast to make look accurate and clear. However the overall lyrics of the song was said to have a good variety of possibilities. Therefore because of this feedback as a group we have decided not to go with this initial choice as we believe the feedback is accurate after comparing this song to our other ideas.

Song 2 - 'I Fall apart' - Post Malone.
Similar to our first song idea this song received a range of positive and negative. However this choice received feedback that agreed strongly with how we believed we could portray the lyrics and how we could represent the genre and mood of the song accurately. Opposing this the negative feedback consisted of the song being rather repetitive and very slow and not interesting during the long introduction. Due to this feedback we have also decided not to go with this choice as the feedback is too varied from an audience of the age of our target audience.

Song 3 - 'Drugs' - Adam Jensen.
Finally this final choice was our most positive for feedback with the majority of our audience liking the mood, genre and beat of the song. our feedback consisted of the majority believing as a group we would be able to suit and represent the lyrics and overall song more accurately and effective than the other choices.
