Week 13 blog reflection

Week 13 blog reflection 

This week has been purely focused on editing. Our deadline was meant to be this week but it got extended meaning we had more time to edit and get all the bits together. Our main focus this week was trying to add transitions and get the lip syncing on point. In our Monday lesson we got group feedback from all the other groups. This helped me and Ella see what our target audience thought of our music video. The feedback we got was sort of helpful but not many people gave us things we could change. However Abir and Rianne said that some of the lip syncing needs to be put into different places, that towards the end of the music video it stops cutting to the beat.

The main strengths of the video that people gave us was good camera movement through out the music video, this comment repeated the most. People also liked the over lays we had with the lights, when Ediz was singing with the guitar. 

The majority said they like the miss-en-scene which is good because mise-en-scene is an important aspect to our genre. They liked the parts with the lights and the black background as they thought it was creative.

This feedback which we got really influenced our work, as we decided to get rid of some of the bad lip syncing scenes and we added another scene of the girl to make it clear about the narrative. However someone said that Ediz in the narrative doesn't look like a homeless guy which we agree with but me and Ella decided we were happy with what we have.

This week we learnt that getting people to look at your work is really helpful especially when the people giving feedback are in your target audience. The feedback helped improve our work and helped point out aspects me and Ella couldn't see.
