Reflection on Value Feedback

After showing our music video to the class, we had a positive response to the video. We also asked our media teachers to give us feedback in which we could help to improve our music video and print products:

Teachers comments made on 
Music video "Walking In The Rain-By Sublime"
  • The tempo of the genre needs to reflect on the editing, therefore the build up of the tempo need to be shown through the editing. By editing, and cutting and trimming sections of the dance clip and breaking them up with a black for 0.3s will help give more of a bigger impact. This will flash the clip into a more fast tempo rhythm
  • Having continuity through clips. When editing our music video on imovies o9, we was able to add special effect to the video clip. For example with the night dance scene, we added a romantic effect. However, we wanted to engage the audience more by flipping it, which means you can't add 2 effects, which doesn't keep the continuity of the music, however it isn't a huge difference
  • more narrative clips in the flash backs...the audience needed to see more of the narrative and structure to the song. We added more clips of the flash back scene, which helps allow the audience to be more engaged and feel more connected to the artist because the can feel her emotions more if the are exposed to more fortage of her being cheated on
As a group we considered these points made and changed our music video. These points helped to make our music video allot more better and engaging for our target audience.

Print products:
Although we had completed the CD cover, we improved it using the software 'Photoshop', making it of a higher quality which gives the artist a more professional image. We emphasised certain colours on the cover which related to our research where we found colours on CD covers were usually emphasised to give them more of a 'neon' glow.
  • Back case of the CD has the album tracking list. we might change it to all black or editing it photoshop because there is a solid bolder around the writing which looks unprofessional

  1. Your music video is really good! i really like the lip syncing and the different settings and costume changes, i think this all reflects your genre really well! the narrative is really clear, maybe look at the lighting on various shots?
