Music Video Feedback 4

We showed what we thought was our final music video to the class (also happens to be our target audience). Many of the feedback said that they liked the time lapse that we included within our video at the very beginning, they said that they thought it help to add effect to the video and it also allowed the audience to tell if it is a dream or not. Everyone also said that they liked the overlay we have included on the shots because they add effect to the song and it makes it look cinematic. The storyline of the whole video is effective. The editing tempo was said to match to pace of the song and the lyrics. The monochrome colours used is effective in showing the audience that it is a dream and it adds effects to our music video. The editing was said to be effective generally and the lighting is effective and represented the genre well. The shots that people favoured was the swing dissolving to Milly alone as it was creative and effective, the dancing was also praised as it added a more cinematic feel to the video. The overall narrative of the video was said to be very effective and fitted in well with the genre especially the 'dream' concept. The video was said to have a professional finish to it making it look effective and cinematic.
However, some people said that the camera was a little shaky when we were filming the walking in the woods scenes. But we made this intentionally as it shows that when she is alone it shows she is unstable and needs Ben or love to help her become stable. We found that after the render the dancing scenes were a little too dark in some places so we are going to turn down the effect to make sure the audience is able to see what is going on. We also raised a question to the target audience to see if we needed to keep in the ending of the video make it look like it is a dream. But they said to take it out, so now we have decided to include the same time-lapse we included at the very start of the video but reverse it and have it going from black and white to colour to signify the waking up of the dream in the same way that it showed at the beginning it is going into a dream.
Overall, we are happy with our production after we change the darkness of the dancing and add a completely different ending into our video
