Changes

   After the audience feedback we re filmed the footage we did have because we filmed on 2 different days, this lead to a disturbed continuity between each shot. now we have re-filmed it the shots that lead on after each other now match.

   The main changes we have made are to shots 8 and 9. We originally wanted 19 seconds of footage b between the two shots, the problem was both of the shots were filmed whilst stationery creating a boring set of shots for the audience, to improve this we shortened shot 8, and split shot 9 up into two other shots, the first been a pan across the living room to show jack and Fran sitting on the sofa, then the second shot been a mid shot to extreme closeup with a zoom to allow the audience to see a message that jack has just received from another girl.

Audience feedback- 1st rough cut

    Last week we showed our music video for the first cut, with it still been early stages our music video did receive some constructive criticism and some praise as well.

    The main criticism was the lip syncing during the argument scenes (shot 18 and 19), we have Jack and Fran continually arguing but it is difficult to distinguish between the lyrics of the song and whether or not Jack is attempting to mime the words. One way we told to avoid this was to re-film these two shots and have Jack arguing but miming the words to stop any confusion. 

   The isolated location was decided to both good and bad. Good becasue it just keeps the main focus on the main characters and nothing can distract the audience, but bad because it isn't totally recognisable as to why they are in the wooded environment.

   The lack of footage was an issue as well which told us we need to complete the filming as soon as possible, this will then effect the 2nd cut positively because the story of the relationship will be able to be told and recognised more clearly.

   There were positives comments about from our 1st cut. The match-on-action near the the beginning of the video was perfectly time which is always a good comment to hear because when your filming you do have to think about body positioning and body actions to keep it filming to the previous shot.

Jack pulls Fran around.

Fran pushes Jack away

   Another comment was during chorus 1 when Jack pulls Fran around  then Fran pushes him away the audience liked how it managed to fit with the lyrics and the timing on it. 

First rough cut

We have shown own first rough cut to the group, the first cut is more to show the basic idea with the editing techniques but with the feedback we received we can now edit and add more footage to what we have to improve the video for 2nd showing to the group.
