Rough Cut Feedback

Our Media class watched the rough cut of our music video and they each filled in a sheet of feedback, telling us what they liked about it and a list of honest constructive ideas to make it better. Here is our research from the 8 pupils who filled in our feedback sheets. A lot of the points have been repeated by different people so i just summed it all up into bullet points.

What you like about their video so far:
- Clear narrative
- Clever use of costume to show innocence and evil
- Good acting
- The pan up of the feet
- The sky time lapse
- Blinking on the piano sound (gives a good sense of mystery and builds the tension)
- Charlottes performance, good facial expressions, good syncing
- Running through the woods scene, very effective
- Good locations
- The shakey camera when running
- Clear story line and wide range of edits
- Hand held camera shots
- Blood on leaves and feet
- Blood tear drop - on both characters
- Section with walking over the camer is really effective
- I like the idea of her running off at the same time
- Turning into old people walking away, showing they age together
- Hand on tree to show transformation
- Perfromance all outside, link well with narrative and story

A list of constructive and honest ideas for what could be better:
- More variation of shots during performance
- More monster like when transformed
- Do more steady pan of Odean sign
- Have full drum kit
- Make more clear the reason for the long nails
- Main singer looked like she was about to laugh in some scenes
- Some of tree shots a bit dark
- Perhaps introduce a feature after the long nails
- Introduce performace earlier in the video
- Emphasise time on watch
- Running shots could be cut shorter sometimes
- Unclear what is wrong/happening to her
- Blood on feet?
