Diary Entry 10 - Feedback from Peers!

Today we decided to have a peer evaluation to have a rough idea of what needed to be improved and what they thought was good. As a prosumer it helped us to find out who are target audience was and what they would expect the music video would be like with this song. Since our peer reviewers were teenagers, we thought it was a great opportunity as they are whats modern in this day and age, teenagers to young adults are digital natives in which create the information age. Here is the overall feedback that we received from our peers: 

• Strong, emotional and clear narrative
• A variety of camera shots
• Good use of lighting
• Mise-en-scène/costume reflects mood
• Enjoy the ‘abstract nature’ of the balloons and the symbolism they hold
• A strong urban star-image  of the artist is constructed through the music video

• Some bits are not synchronised
• Ending is ‘boring’ 
• Requires more close-ups of artist’s reactions (e.g. when Charlotte returns home)
• Some shots are out of focus or too dark
• More cutaways are needed

After receiving the comments, we decided that it would be best to look over what we had done and make sure the syncronisation was on beat and noted down everything we decided wasn't best suited for the music video. We also decided that we wanted to add more cutaways as we only had one in the first place. In the end we came to the conclusion that there were things that needed to be replaced and re -shot as the sycronisation of our actor was not on time and there was no other option but to re film. We were also worried about re-shooting because the deadline was coming close and there weren't a lot of days we were able to film due to the fact our actors were not able to film on certain days. 


On our facebook group 'Media Group' We listed down the scenes that needed to be done for the next two days of filming and allowed use to make sure that we didn't miss anything.
