The document provides feedback from classmates, friends on social media, YouTube comments, and the teacher on a student's rough cut of a music video. The feedback was largely positive, praising the creative theme, good lip syncing, varied shots, professional look, and how the editing suited the genre and music. Some feedback suggested softening the color of fire scenes and brightening the lipstick in phone scenes. The student was happy with the feedback validating their creative choices.

2. Left: Is the original feedback we received from our class mates.
As a class we each exported our music video rough cuts and
watched each others, leaving feedback for each one. I also went
on to upload my rough cut to Youtube, so that I could share the
clip on Facebook and Twitter to obtain feedback from our target
audience and in order to obtain unbiased opinions. So that the
feedback from our class mates was much clearer we transferred
the comments on to coloured card and took photographs of each
one.

3. Below is two examples of some of the feedback from our rough cut
given by our class mates. We were really pleased with all the feedback
we received. These two both said that our lip syncing was
really good, and I was happy with the comments regarding our
fast/quick cuts, as I was concerned that our cuts wouldn’t suit the
video due to the beat being difficult to cut to. I was also happy that
feedback said we had a variety of clips, as I was worried that
some of the shots would seem to repetitive before we introduce our
further footage of the Red Leotard and bridge sequence.

4. We were really happy with the above comments, as they described our
music video as being creative, amazing and original, saying that they loved
the theme. We were also happy with the continuing comments regarding our lip
sync and varied shots.

5. Above was the feedback we had received from our teacher. We were
really pleased that she thought our work looked very
professional. We were happy about the comments on our editing
and how it suited the genre and music video form and also our use of
mise en scene, which we invested a lot of time into.

6. Both Me and Deanna shared our Music Video Rough Cut to Facebook, asking people if they could give us Feedback. A
friend of Deanna’s commented saying he thought that the silhouetted dance sequences and the use of split screens were
effective and liked the contrast between the “fire scenes”, livening up the video, which was our desired effect. He also
went on to say that the colouring of the phone scene should be changed, possibly making the lipstick brighter, so that it
stands out, and suggested using black and white but keeping the red lipstick, as the phone scenes appeared pale and
didn’t fit. This feedback was really useful, as we may experiment trying to make the lipstick brighter, however due
to lighting issues on set we had to alter the colouring of the phone scenes, making them slightly pale, however we thought
this contrasted with other shots in our music video and therefore added variety.

7. Above and Below are other examples of feedback we received from sharing our video on Facebook. Both
said they really liked it and thought it was “seriously good”, however syncing issues did effect some
of our feedback, butr once it was explained that this was due to an exporting error, they continued to say that
they liked the concept. I was glad people were commenting on the concept, as I was concerned that the
decision to do a performance based piece rather than narrative meant people wouldn’t understand
our objective, to create a sexy but subtle professional looking music video for a pop song, rather than a
narrative driven indie piece, which Adele’s music typically spurs, as shown by fan made videos for her other
songs which use a narrative base line.

8. We also shared our video on Twitter, however
did not receive any video feedback from
Followers, which was slightly disappointing.

9. Once we uploaded our video to Youtube we received
views quickly and some likes. We also received two
comments. One saying they thought our video was really
professional and they liked the syncing of the different
dancers at the beginning, I was really glad at this
comment, as I was worried, due to the keyer not
working, that our back up idea would not be as effective.
We also received a comment from “247matt1”, who I
don’t know whether to take serious because, apparently
dogs can use Youtube.

10. We also asked our teacher if she could show our work to
the students in the year below in order to receive un
biased comments. The only criticisms they had were
regarding the fire scenes, saying that we should soften or
mute the colour, however, we want this scene to stand
out in order to have the desired effect.
However, overall they liked our video, giving it an
amazing 9/10, saying that our video was engaging, the
use of the telephone creates a narrative and there was
variation. They also said our video had a good pace, a
variety of shots and locations and that they liked the
studio footage. All being really good and ideal
feedback.

11. We also received Feedback from our
teacher on our “pink” feedback sheets.
These sheets are used so we can assess
ourselves, following the criteria: “Using
the
Camera”; “Construction of Mise-en-
Scene”; “Editing” and “Individual
Contribution”. Our teacher would then assess
our work following the same criteria. I was
exceptionally happy when my teacher gave each
section of criteria Level 4. She said that our work
was already sufficient enough to achieve a Level
4, and the shots we have to add later on will
increase our overall mark. She also said that our
construction of Mise-en-scene looks professional
and attractive to potential target audience. She
also said that if the editing of the rough cut is
consistent throughout it will be a great piece. I
was really pleased with all the
Feedback I received, as the
majority was really good, and is
and indication that I am on track
to create a professional looking
music video.
