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.
