Audience research on first draft of the video

Marcus’s response:

Mise-en-scene, how well constructed has it been? Is it correctly lit etc?

The backing paper added a set to the video and allowed the colours of the dust come. The overall Mise-en-scene was well put together allowing me to see the fundamental functions of each shot broken down. The black use of all the costumes allowed each person to blend into the background and when the dust was thrown allowed me to see the colours come out, the lighting of the shot fitted in well with the varying camera shots.

Is the Camera controlled and is there a variety of shot types?

The camera we steady throughout and worked with the Mise-en- scene to give an overall brilliant effect.

Is the Editing to the beat, have good effects been added well?

Some of the lip syncing was out of time by a fraction this could be changed, and a couple of the drum shots are out of time and off beat, the balloon stabs should be on the beat as well and some of the camera shot could be trimmed. The effects during the slow-motion work well and overall it is a good start with some minor tweaks to be made.

Does the whole video work as a music piece?

Overall I think the concept has been well thought out and put into practice very well, the deeper hidden meaning allows the audience (me) to think about what it means and be involved in the narrative.

Favourite shots?

Personally I like the mid shot at 2.35. It was a very well composed shot allowing me to get involved with it more.

What would you change?

Add more of the sub, and more lens flares effects like at 2.15.

Edwards response:

Mise-en-scene, how well constructed has it been? Is it correctly lit etc?

I like many of the many aspects of the it matching the song and its lyrics. I found the lighting worked well with the mise-en-scene and the back drop.

Is the Camera controlled and is there a variety of shot types?

The use of camera allows me to keep up with the speed of and pace of the song. The variety of camera shots allows for a different view of the song and I liked this aspect.

Is the Editing to the beat, have good effects been added well?

The editing is to the beat and allows us to see the drum beat by beat. However some of the shots are slightly out of sink
