Class Feedback

In class today, each group received a sheet to write feedback for every other group based on their current work. We had to write what we thought was effective and what could be improved (both for the Digi Pack and the video itself). The feedback Cam and I had for our two drafts of Digi Pack photos and the montage of shots video we made was very helpful as we know what aspects we could change in order to attract more audience. We also know what is good about our work and whether the material we have is appropriate to the song we chose.

Our Feedback;

Group1:

Strengths
(Digi Pack)
- HD quality makes it professional
- Water dripping down the girl's face looks very precise
(The Video)
-The transitions between the shots mix well
- Dark lighting creates effective dark mood

Improvements
(Digi Pack)
- Add subtle text to the shots
(The Video)
- Edit the lip syncing so it's more in time to the song lyrics

Group 2:

Strengths
(Digi Pack)
- Water looks effective
- Matches the video clearly
(The Video)
- It compliments the song well
- Very gloomy and powerful which attracts the eye
- Good use of performance and narrative together

Improvements
(Digi Pack)
- Make it obvious that the performer is involved
(The Video)
- Don't stay too long on one scene, repetitive

Group 3:

Strengths
(Digi Pack)
- Captured in the moment, strong image as it's in HD
- Drops of water frozen in time
(The Video)
- Lighting and smoke helped create a very dark atmosphere
- Lip syncing was accurate
- Use of close ups established characters as being unstable
- Editing was done on the beat making the video flow

Improvements
(Digi Pack)
- Add in font
(The Video)
- Possibly a few more angles of the girl in the bath to show different sides of her personality
- Shots of the sink and bath to establish location
