Teacher feedback session

FIRST FEEDBACK SESSION FOR FIRST DRAFT

During our double Media lesson on Monday 26th January, there was a teacher feedback session in regard to the 'first draft' of our video.

However, of course, we were met with problems. Problems including that we have only edited the first 40 seconds of our video so far, and therefore we only had a 40 second clip to show the class and also the teachers. Seeing this was supposed to be our first draft, therefore this can be conceived as a major issue because 40 seconds worth of video was most obviously not our first draft.

Therefore, this showed us that we had a poor judgement of timing and therefore needed to work quicker and more effectively with our editing. It is also important that we meet the next deadlines required of our group.

However, we still had to show something to the teachers and class, therefore we had to show the 40 seconds which we had edited. The first 40 seconds of our video don't include any lip synching scenes, therefore we were asking the teachers to comment on the introduction of the video and the setting of the scene and atmosphere.


The two pieces of feedback which we received were:

1) The writing over the footage which introduced the song title and the artist and giving it a sense of identity gave the video a 'documentary - type' feel, and not a music video atmosphere which is what it should have been.



However, as a group we were all really fond of the displayed font and we felt that it added to the sleek atmosphere of the video. Passion Pit's official video for Constant Conversations also includes text in their video. Therefore we got the idea from that, and I do not feel that it gives it a 'documentary' feel as opposed to a music video feel, therefore for the moment, we are going to keep the text as collectively we all really like it. 




2) The scene where everyone is entering the 'party in the woods' was too fast and needs to be slowed down and therefore lacked a party atmosphere. Therefore we need to look at alternate ways of editing this footage to add to a fast party pace without it actually being sped up, which is what most of the teachers seemed to comment on.
