Rough cut and feedback

Here is our rough cut of 'Missing You'.

Feedback from presentation to class

Positive:

• The match on action at the beginning of the video where Emily walks out the door was very good which proved using 2 cameras at once worked well.
• Charlotte's idea of filming Emily putting her bag in the boot from inside the car created an interesting shot.
  
• Good camera skills - all shots were framed well using interesting angles.
• The integration of the story in the music video was good
• By turning the flashbacks black & white it created a more personal and emotional story and accentuated the fact they were in the past.
  
  
  
• Our choice of actors were good as they performed well and look very realistic.
• One of the best shots was the ariel shot of Joe and Emily fighting which was filmed by one of our crew holding the camera over the banister.
  
  
  
• Our lip-syncing was spot on and our performances were of a high quality
• The choice of locations were very different which made the video look more interesting and true to life.
  
  
  
• The lighting in each location was good especially Epping forest
• Editing looks invisible and well done.

Negative:

• The up-beat part of the song where Joe is walking to where Emily is to give her a necklace is too long and should be cut down. Some possible solutions are to either change the sequence to quick cuts, don't have it sped up as it looks a bit commical.
• The shot of the 4 of us in the woods is too long and may make the audience bored.
  
  
  
• Experiment with lighting a bit more - maybe try a halo effect.
