EDITING TO THE BEAT

During this task we were required to edit several individual clips into one coherent short film in which each cut happened on a beat. In our music video this would portray the emotions and mood more effectively. Moreover whilst I was editing I employed the skills I learned during the lip sync task and layered each clip on top of one and other.

Here's a closer look at the editing I did earlier.

ROUGH CUT AND AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

We have finally come up with a rough cut of our  music video. This isn't the final edit for our music video, but it just gives us a rough idea on what we want our music video to be about.



For our audience feedback we targeted the demographic of 16-25 and asked some of the people in our class and other A Level classes what they thought of our rough cut, and the feedback we received was generally positive. We asked a sample of students the following questions:

What was your favourite scene in the music video?

Was the music video stimulating enough to prevent boredom and if not, why?

How did the editing enhance your viewing experience, if not, why?

What improvements do you recommend we implement for the final piece?

If you were to see this video on the timeline on Twitter, would you retweet, like or neither?


To gather this information from my target audience I used several social networking sites in order to get the information as this was the best place to find them.


Here are some WhatsApp conversations I had with my target audience, some of which choose not be named.
