This is the first version of our music video, we are quite pleased with the outcome of it but after the audience feedback it is obvious that we have problems with the videos overall storyline, we have been told that at the beginning of the video it gets confused and this is a big problem for us. After asking the audience several questions about our video, there responses were:
- Do you understand the video? - the audience at first was a little confused but after explaining their thoughts they were actually quite clear about what the video was about, they said that "the video was about a lonely guy who illustrates what he wants his life to be like", this is what our video is about, the whole video is in fact the product of the main characters imagination, showing us through the footage that he wishes to escape.
- Does it fit with our chosen genre? - Our chosen genre was Indie rock which features many strange videos from bands like 'The Killers' and 'Kasabian', when asked "does it fit our chosen genre?", the audience believed that it did because of it's style and strange narrative.
- Does the animated scene fit in with the video? if not why? - The audience overall liked the animated scenes in our video but they did feel that it should have been drawn in pen so it was bolder, this would have been difficult though because each drawing needed to be edited for the next drawing, in total we had nearly two hundred seperate images on our camera. They also commented that they could have been quicker, this would have to be done by creating more images lasting perhaps 1-2 seconds each.
- Does the animated part fit the pace of the video? - Over than the previous comment they said that they liked where it was placed in the chorus of the video, this was the height of the music.
- Does the video's style match the song? - They commented that certain parts of the video matched the song perfectly, many scenes were edited so that they ended on the beats in the music.
- For the last question we asked whether there were any other problems with the video that they had noticed - The only problems mentioned were that there were no lip synch scenes, we felt that by adding scenes like this it may confuse the story even more. They also commented that the song was jumpy, this was a problem we've had since uploading the music to the program, it seems to be difficult to get a copy that doesn't lose it's quality as soon as you upload it to final cut. Also mentioned was the way the video started, the arty images at the beginning of the video were said to be a little confusing because they didn't really mean anything, their suggestion was to add scenes of the main character in between them so that we could show the artistic mind of the character.
