Our lecturer after having seen what we have so far gave us both constructive criticism and positive remarks on our music video up to date.
The key criticisms he had was:
- 'Watching that I felt like the cutting of shots should be more in time with the drums than the actual beat'
- 'Certain shots are simply too dark'
- ' It almost feels as though you have too many shots, like you've tried to add in everything you've shot at some point and it holds it back from certain points from being as smooth as it potentially could be'
Positive remarks he made were:
'I noticed many surreal references'
'The variation of shots is really nice'
' I think once you stop cutting so fast and change the editing from being in sync with the beat to being in sync with the drums it'll help you distinguish which are your stronger shots, as you've got many strong ones but some just don't compare or aren't neccessary'
A simple insight in us identifying irrelevant shots on final cut pro, and deleting them from the system in order to have clear solid shots to work with. This simple process allowed us to be more efficient as we cleared all unnecessary content, leaving us to only work with good quality camera shots.
