OVERALL CLASS FEEDBACK

This is a PowerPointthat we put together to show the feedback for our video and then showed how we are going to react from it and improve. This was completed by Phoebe.

Teacher Feedback On 1st Draft

The performance of the main artist is strong and there is a clear consideration for mise en scene in terms of costume and styling which is relevant to the genre and helps to convey the representation of teens going from being conformists (black and white 6th form uniform) to the more colorful/ casual clothing see during the rooftop scenes.) The main drawback of the video is that the overall concept is not clear. I would suggest you sit down and make a list of all the things/ social activities that your teenage audience would consume/ take part in and consider how you can include montage shots of these activities in your video. Remember your concept is about the freedom of youth culture. Consider this in terms of the overall mise en scene (costume ,props) camerawork, editing (including special effects/transitions). In order to pull this concept of you need to show how the video has been constructed in a way that breaks typical conventions. Watch some concept based dance videos for reference.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

Production Schedule

Date: 16^th November 2014

Location: Rooftop (Mile End)

Action: Filming

Description: We managed to get a lot of footage for the beginning scenes. The actors looked good on the screen and the quality of the picture was good.

It was hard to get footage of the artist performing as he did not know the words well.

We gave the artist a copy of the lyrics so that hopefully next time he is more comfortable singing into the camera/

Date: 20^th-23^rd November 2014

Action: Editing

Description: James started a small draft of the first few scenes and was testing out different things we could do. He was experimenting different colour corrections and different editing techniques such as transitions.

Location: Rooftop (Mile End)

We had to cancel filming because there was really bad weather and it did not stop raining. Because of this we moved this filming day to the next Sunday.

FIRST DRAFT

This final draft is going to be key in making a good music video. We hope this will attract good and bad feedback so that when we come to making the final video we can make the appropriate changes.

SMALL DRAFT

James made this very small draft to experiment with editing techniques and to get a feel of how the editing process is going to be.
