Analysis of our music video : A&E Acoustic Sessions

What went well?

We have a wide variety of shots and thought we didn't bore the viewers with long winded shots, we cut to each shot quickly. We used a good setting with trees and the swings with the bright red colour worked really well against the crispness of the white snow. We used slow motion and fast motion in the video and also used some effects to change what it looked like. I thought we gave ourselves more than enough time to edit and we had plenty of footage that was easy to cut and we probably had more than we needed. I thought we had a good chemistry on camera and it seemed natural. there were a few other good points in that we managed to use some really good camera angles and they were well thought out.

What can we improve on next time?

There was a couple of problems that we had when filming because as we were filming outside the wind interrfered with the sound of us talking especially in the last shot. We had a few problems with lighting and also as it was so cold it was hard to be completely perfect when filming and there was some human error. As it was our first time we were not experienced in filming and editing but we learnt alot and i think next time we will be alot better as we will be more confident in what we are doing.

Feedback from other groups.

We received feedback from a number of people, this was good and bad but otherwise it was constructive. "The lip-syncing was out of time and looked quite bad" We can improve on this by focusing more on the singing when we film and then we can spend time focusing on syncing it perfectly in time. "They had a good chemistry on camera" this is positive and it emphasises what we thought at the time which is good. "We thought they mucked about too much" we tried to make it look like we didnt take ourselves serious and want to have fun but people obviously felt we came across to childish which is fair enough and we will try maintain our band image without portraying that. "We thought they showed a specific genre" This is positive because it shows that we have distinguished between genres and people werent confused about what sort of band we were and what music we play which is good.
