The document summarizes feedback received at various stages of a music video project, including initial ideas, lyric analysis, song timeline, draft shooting script, first cut, and final cut. Feedback focused on strengthening narratives, adding visual interest, including more shot details, varying shot lengths to build tension, and ensuring consistent high video and editing quality throughout. The feedback was incorporated into revisions to refine ideas and improve the visual storytelling and artistic quality of the final music video.
2. Which stages I received feedback on
• Initial ideas
• First cut
• Digipak/magazine advert
• Final cut
• Shooting script/ song timeline
3. Initial ideas
• The audience felt we had three strong ideas and one
member said that 'the narratives fitted well with our song
choices‘
• we went for a very specific target audience which is also
positive because by doing this we know what sort of things
to include in our music video and what to leave out.
• liked the fact that we have 'three separate ideas‘
• we chose the idea for the song 'Crazy' by 'Gnarls Barkley',
we would have a lot more creative freedom because
we could use silhouettes and shadows to portray the
concept that he isn't certain about what or who is chasing
him, therefore reinstating the idea that he is going crazy
