3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

When we completed a rough cut of our music video we decided to get a fellow student to watch our music video to provide us with feedback on what we could add to our video to make it look better. This is what she said to us "Overall the video so far looks good and professional. The majority of the lip-syncing looks right, it looks like a conventional rnb video however some shots are too long. You could cut them down by adding a variety of camera shots like close-ups and long shots or add more reminiscing shots." - Maria Rafiq. We were grateful for the information she gave us and this is what we were told her "A problem we have with cutting down shots that are too long is not having enough raw footage. We are going to attempt to film some more shots and add it to the timeline; hopefully we'll do this before the deadline." After we were given this feedback we made some changes to our music video. We ensured that all of the lip-syncing as perfect however this was difficult. As we didn't have the time to re-film footage , we replaced the bits that were too slow with either shots of memories or simply shots of Syed posing. Another thing we changed was the shots that were too long we cut them down. We did this by filming more footage. We added more shots of reminiscing to the shots of him lip-syncing and vice versa. We also zoomed into shots of him lip-syncing and inserted these into the longer shots; this meant that there was variety in the shots. Overall due to her advice we believe that our group has benefited hugely to her neutral feedback.
