Question 4 Evaluation

When we had got some feed back from the viewers and read the comments we came together as a group came up with some improvements and good things about the music video.


After the cinema viewing I asked a girl in my class " Did you spot any conventions in our music video" she said " As i like coldplay and have listened to this song a numerous amount of times i could relate to it easily.  I think that your music video has not got a lot of the conventions of a normal alternative rock music video like there was no band in the video and a very slow tempo to the song, But the effects and the places you filmed relate to the actual music video"

From this comment we immediately knew what she was talking about, we took it in to consideration and we know we should of done something different or added more.

In class session we all had to review about each others video, one boy wrote.

"Good landscape shots of the city which relate to the song name and lyrics and also the characters clothes match the story which is good"

We responded - This was good feedback and felt that we had at least accomplished something, we were grateful that he liked the opening.

Also in class session

A girl said " Opening shot and end shot is interesting, also the shots of the singer actually singing is very long and could have been different shots of him, the story is very illustrative and I got the storyline. The link between the end shot and the first shot was clever."

We responded - again we knew what she meant and understood what she was saying.

Conclusion.

Overall we could of made the shots of the singer shorter and different views if we had enough time to go out and film we would have done so we did not know we were going to use that exact shot until the end we also changed our minds on what song to do several times.

We have learned that we should value time more and that we should have done more shots of the singer singing. If we could do it again after viewing the comments we would have had more shots of the singer an easier plot to follow and more shots of the singer in various places.

This is the video on vimeo we havent got any comments and only 3 plays the reason why is probably because it was seen in the cinema and we had already got comments on it after the viewing.
