their opinions and their views on our
product, also they gave ways of which to
improve on.
‘I think the whole video should be in b/w, the song, although its upbeat, is a sad one really lol and the girl looks a
bit too happy and i think the whole 'walking on the beach thing' is way too cliché, it works though, but if you can
change it id probably reconsider.
errr also I think the fire effect at the end where she’s at that building is kinda gross, it looks unprofessional which
is huge in contrast to the first part where it looked realllllllly good. I think you should use candles that are lit
instead of those fire things you have, maybe where that girl is stood in a garden or w/e singing she should be sat
down with candles around her I don’t know? Just to link it back to the whole 'fire' element that’s going on.
I really liked the point of view shots (I’m hoping that’s what you did) where it was the point of view of the 'guy
who broke her heart' like when they’re on the beach and she’s in bed or w/e those are good and you should use
more of them i think cause there’s too many scene changes i think like one min she’s singing in a forest, then a
beach, then a pond, then in a bedroom its a bit messy in places
hope that makes sense, its good though never the less’
‘the only thing id say is she should make more eye contact with the camera inside of looking to the side
all the time.’
‘it’s good but
surely you should use rain or s/t’
‘just a few small bits then lol
when you see her playing the piano the second time it'd be better if you actually saw the piano keys
instead of the tops of her fingers
when she’s on the beach in the black dress then sitting on the sand bit it seems to cut to different
shots too quick (walking in dress, girl on sand, dress running, waves) really quick @1:45
lots of hair flickin’

3. ‘Some of it is out of sync, i also notice you do a lot of fades in and fade to black with
the beach scene going to the woman. Also a bit of continuity editing, not sure if its
intentional or what but she has bright red make up on, and when she is on the piano
u cannot see her bright red make up which is pretty distinct and she is wearing the
same dress too? At 2:52 the flames seem a bit tacky but whatever float's your boat
And also the colour changes on the video seem a bit erratic.
But on the good side, the video goes well with the song, there is a really good bit
with the flames when she is walking, actually loved that bit The beginning was really
well put together like when she is playing the piano and that loved that bit too! And
the sand bit with the foot prints in that was a really good idea. The shot of her on the
piano like from above is good cause it gives a scenes of power which kinda goes with
the song. Around 3:30 all the stuff flying in must of been fun too lol it looks cool
epically as an original effect
Overall the video is good, although the colour changes and some of the editing
makes the video look, how do I put this? Not very professional and i think the
examiner will props pick up on it. they are actually so picky!!!’
‘I think the whole changing from
colour, to sepia, to black and white, to sepia, to colour (and so on) thing
kinda ruins it but other than that it's good (just my opinion)’
Over all very good, good compositions of shots, good use of effects,
my only problem is that you could of worked more on the sepia tone.
Id recommend going black and white next time.

4. Overall the feedback is
positive, however there are
some points of improvement
made that we will take on
board for future references.
Some of the criticisms we
had, the group agreed with.
