Production of Music Video - Changes to be made to Rough Cut

Feedback and Changes to be made for our Rough Cut

 On Mondays Lesson , we decided to show our film teacher ( Tony) our rough cut for our music video. This was to allow Tony to see how the editing process of the music video was going so far and for him to give critical feedback on how we could improve. Tony stated : " The first 38 secs of the music video showing the movements of the domino trail leading to the domino image was very effective and creative , However felt that the rest of the footage looked a bit static as it only showed different shots from 4 base tracks and didn't have a contrast of the footage the domino images." He also added that some shots were out of focus and did not follow the rule of three. For example if the footage only shows half of the person body , we have to ensure that there is not a lot of space to be seen above their end. Within our video, the rule of three was not carried out correctly , meaning it id not look effective. Also , to eliminate footage that is out of depth of frame.

Taking Tony's advice on board , we decided to make a list of the possible changes that we need to make to make our video look more decent. We following changes consist of : 

• We need to include more close ups of the artist.
• More clips of the dominoes need to be added ( as dominoes is the whole purpose of the song )
• We have to ensure that there's a variation between the moving shots and the focused shots ( to make sure that there's even amounts)
• We have to include more footage ( Less use of base track shots) , to show variation between he actions happening and to show different shot types.
• We need to eliminate unfocused footage and footage that don't follow the ' rule of three' 

As you can see from our list , there's a lot of changes to be made. However, we still have a couple of days until the final deadline , so I am sure we will be able to make the changes in time and to the best of our standards. :)
