2. Where is the feedback from?
I asked two of my friends that have backgrounds
in media to prove me with some user feedback
on my video.
3. Hannah’s feedback
• Hannah mentioned some strengths were that
the lip sync was timed well. She also said the
thought beats were at good times. Another
strength she said was good use of
performance as well as narrative. She said
some of the weaknesses included not enough
variety of shots, more different scenes could
have been used and the character that is
being sung about could have been involved.
4. Ron’s feedback
• Ron mentioned some strengths were thought
beats and that he understood the story
because of the lyrics. He said some of the
weaknesses were I could have involved more
thought beats, shortened the performance
footage because some was too long and to
have a variety of shots.
5. What I learned
• Through this feedback I can clearly tell that my weaknesses
in the creation of my music video was that it lacked
ambitious shots and backgrounds. I could have scouted for
more interesting places to shoot and created a much better
music video that way. I should also get more long shots and
different range shots of my characters as the vast majority
of shots were medium close ups. The weakness about
performance shots being too long was something I was
thinking about during the creation of my video, and they
definitely ended up longer than I intended. This goes
against my idea of showing off narrative as much as
possible because the performance might intrude on the
narrative.
6. cont
• My strengths being thought beats and the use
of performance shows me that I am going
along the right lines with the shared
narrative/performance screen time, I just
need to learn to even out and balance these
things better. If I was going to create my
product again I would try to have a wider
variety of shots for the narrative and shorter
performance shots.
