On Tuesday 6th December all the A2 students went to 'Screen on the Green' in Islington to watch all our music videos. I remember it being fun from last year when we went to watch our thriller openings, so I was excited to see everyones music videos. Our video was the second one shown and it caught all of us by surprise because we weren't expecting to have ours shown until near the end. So I didn't manage to record it but people generally enjoyed it. It was interesting because I could spot all the little things that were wrong with the video.
For the most part everyone really liked the faces we had in the chorus as we used people from our college and the shots that we had of the London Eye at night. No-one really had anything for us to improve on except that the faces could have been all in equal space, as some had more background space than others.
I think its important to know how the audience feels about our video, because if this was for real you would definitely want to know what they think before you release it to the world. And because this is our first video, we would want it to be perfect in order to show our artist in the best light possible. Obviously we didn't have enough time to ask lots of people but in general if I was able to make changes and improve on it I would probably spend longer filming the shots I filmed, especially the moving ones of the London Eye, as they aren't steady at all. I would also film in better weather (obviously) and have more costumes and different looks for our artist as we only had one. If I had more time, I would develop the storyline in more depth. I think this wold make it look more like a conventional pop video.
Here is Viet and Mehdi giving me feedback on my advert and album cover. They had similar opinions that my album cover and advert were quite good and there is a clear link between them. They also had the same view about my inside cover, that it could have been better because it looked plain. I agree with them as I already knew the outside cover was much better than the inside, so I was prepared for them to say this. If I was going to do it again then I would get a really good picture of the London Eye and make it spread over both covers. I would also give the CD a design that linked to both my ancillary products.
When we finished our video on final cut pro, before we published it we got some feedback from people just to make final checks that we hadn't missed anything. We asked throughout the process of making the video, as we didn't want to make the whole video and then realise or have someone tell us that something didn't match up or a shot looked a bit dodgy. Some of the things people told us to change was to mix up some of the faces because we had at first put lots of faces from one location together.
Overall, I think our video was executed quite well despite all the obstacles we had.
