Our ways of responding to the rough cut feedback

Good-win 
We had a series of strong close ups that we got told were used effectively to show and advertise our artist but after viewing our video again we noticed one shot at 1.27 showed a falter in the close up and so we have decided in relation to the feedback to go out and re-film this part of the song maybe using the tripod to avoid the shakiness we has last time.

Editing
Part of our feedback was we needed to use more transitions in our video to create a bit of a variety between our different shots. We decided this was a good way to add a change of pace to some areas of the video whilst also causing the video to flow more. We decided at the end of the video to have a fade out on the last shot of me this was because when the song ends rather than end abruptly it fades out like many pop songs do we decided a fade here would comply nicely with the characteristics of the genre.

Camera Work
We were told by our fellow students that although our video started out strong with a variety of differents shots towards the end we lost it, as a group we decided the best way to solve this was to go out and re film some shots and add in more performance shots. Before doing this we were also told by Amar and Andrea that some of our close up shots were too close and Amar commented and told us these tended to make me look very self consious and uneasy which made watching it uncomfortable for our audience, he also told us he believed our performance shots looked the most confident and that we should film more and add them in on the chrous to fit the beat and make the video fit the up beat tempo. To sort out a use of more camera angles we decided to film certain shots over again but from different camera angles.

Mise - en - scene
We were pleased to know that although we had several costume changes that they fitted in well with the genre and the video we have created. We did find though that by adding more shots we added in a further 2 costume changes our video now has a whooping 5-6 costume changes and enough checker shirts to stock a clothes shop but this was good apparently as it created the effective use of a time scale. one bit of feedback we did not agree with was the difficulty to see the rain in the first shot we all agreed as a group and with our teacher that this was not correct and that the rain was easily visable and although we thought this was an effective shot we had to take it out as I was singing through my hair and it caused an self consious appearance. The other piece of feedback that we did not 100% agree with was that the beginning shot of me in bed was too dark, after Andrea and Amar watched it they both agreed it was a good, exciting shot the way it was and we explained that when it comes to evaluating our video we will mention that it was meant to be morning so it was suppose to be dark.

Performance
For this section we took all our feedback from Amar and Andrea who told us to enhance our performance shots as these tended to be the strongest and most watchable shots in the video. De to this we decided to delete a lot of our video which showed me too close up or self consious and we went out and refilmed more shots of me exerting "ATTITUDE!!". We also added in a few shots of me dancing as we found this created an fatser pace and thus added a extra up beat lift to the song. W also replaced the shots of me looking self consious and replaced them with ones of me so I was looking directly at the camera but so irt wasn't directly looking at me.
