First Draft Feedback.

The first drafts of everyone's videos were shown to the students to gather feedback on it so far. We showed both of the videos that we had recorded. Below is the feedback that we got.

Love Now
  • Green screen - film in drama studio instead, black and white at the start should carry on or be more dramatic when it changes, friends- its fun and its young, traffic time lapse - too long and irrelevant, its unique and prefer this one
  • Much more creative, fun to watch
  • Better story with good shots
  • Flashing ticks were a bit too much, time lapse too long, use some different shots other than POV, use different frame shots and stabilize them and needs more lip syncing
  • Too many shots in one place, could do with more close ups
  • Looks more professional and add in lip syncing, too many black screens
  • Needs more integrated singing shots and has good footage
  • Love lip sync with the POV, locations make the POV really nice but needs more close ups
  • Time lapse too long with not enough lip syncing
  • Love the story but the car scene is too long and needs more of Lollie singing
  • Can't read message on the phone and car section seems irrelevant
  • Time lapse too long, lip syncing not in time but like the Go Pro idea.

No Pressure
  • Needs lighting improvement
  • Eye contact needs to be made more, too long shots, colour correct on the stool, not sure what else you could do, becomes boring
  • Shots are on too long, needs more locations, dull
  • Quite boring
  • Love the black and white and Lollie looks pretty
  • Some shots are too long, could have some sparks of colour, like the black and white shot on the chair and colouring needs looking at
Based on the feedback it seems the students preferred the Love Now video so we decided to back and use this as our video and song. We are glad that we experimented with the new video as it made us realise what was good about our original video and that it stands out for being so different from the other videos.
