Today we completely finished our rough cut! We are very pleased with the basic edit of our music video and really hope that once we have gone through every detail, we can have something to be really proud of. The last thing that needed finishing was our montage that we wanted to put towards the end of the song. This was very time-consuming to do as it meant having a lot of shots that only last a couple of seconds, so this meant having to put each shot on the timeline then editing it down to the precise point that we want it. Finally today we completed doing this and I personally am really pleased with the outcome.
We are now months into our coursework and I really believe that Ella, Madihah and myself are working really well together and not fighting over disagreements. We always compromise or ask for outsiders opinion when need be. I have enjoyed working with them so far because we are all very calm and clear when communicating with one another. I definitely feel that there is no particular 'leader' of the group, and we all take charge of the editing equally, and there is no one who isn't quite pulling their weight (which was something I felt was happening in my last year AS coursework group).
PEER FEEDBACK SO FAR:
We have shown our work so far to a number of different people including our friends, teachers and the rest of our media class. We have been thoroughly pleased with some of the kind compliments we have received. Most people said the same thing when it came to what they particularly liked about the video:
-Natural chemistry between the 2 characters
-Good casting
-Nice use of natural lighting
-Good locations
-They liked the simplicity
We received no harsh criticism, just some pointers from our teachers who have given us comments on how to further improve our work:
-100% make sure lip syncing is perfect
-Make sure all cutting is to the beat
-Perhaps cut down shots that feel too long
All of this we were already aware of and this is now what we are going to focus on.
