Rough Cut Feedback

After showing our rough cut to our media class, they were asked to fill in sheets with questions about positive feedback and things we can improve on. This was really helpful as it was the first time anyone else had watched our full video.

Here are some of the comments to questions that we received:

What was especially good about the clip?

• Good continuity with editing, excellent lighting, like the use of cutaways and close ups – use more of those.
• Fitting for genre, great exposition shots, good performance.
• Good shots (car shots) and good use of location.
• Nice flow to the video and the cuts.
• Good filming quality.

Would you want to watch this again? If yes, why, if no, why not?

• Yes! Looking forward to seeing the SFX.
• Yes – once the special effects have been added.
• Yes, good editing and interesting plot but would like to see the final video with the added special effects.

Did you notice any serious issues such as continuity errors, strange edits - did anything not make sense to you?

• The pace is a little slow for the genre and the song, think it needs some more conventional aspects for the genre.
• Missing areas – fill in the gaps.
• Some shakey camera parts.

What would you suggest to improve the video and how?

• Image stabilisation – try the Warp Stabiliser, more close ups of singing and need to show more skill in terms of transitions and SFX.
• Bleep out derogatory words, add effects, adjust duration of some of the shots as they’re too long.
• Just continue editing and maybe add some transitions
• Finish adding in other clips and editing.
