After everyone in our class had completed their music video, we all sat and watched each others back, filling in a feedback sheet and giving them a score we thought it was worth out of 40. As stated in a previous post when finding an average score for ours, we found it was 34/40 which is in the top band. I was really pleased with this as i'm glad that other people can see all the hard work that has gone into it.
With our class being a mixture of people, both genders and personality the feedback we got was varied.
Although a vast majority of it was postivie feedback, with things such as 'good lip syncing', sells the artist', 'fits well with the song', 'humurous' and 'professional' there were of course a minority of negative comments, for example 'bad camera angles', 'not easy to watch', 'a bit over the top' and 'rubbish song'; we knew that our song choice obviously wouldn't pleae everybody, as everyone has their own taste in music. We did also try to mix up the camera angles and use interesting heights for certain shots, but obviously this person wasn't keen on it.
There were several sections in which we deiced to keep the volume of the actual clip up, for example when Rosa answers the phone in the office so that we can still hear her say 'hello' and also when she rings the bell on the bike. However there was one clip where Rosa is standing on the bed in fairy wings for the line 'I'll show you who's the best!' at first we simply turned the volume off and lip synced it in time for the music but then we were unsure as to whether we should in fact leave it up like the others or not. Because as a group we couldn't come to a decision we decided to get people that were in the room at the time, as well as everyone in our class to watch it both ways and say which they thought. Although in the end as a group we were slightly leaning against turning it down everyone (minus a few) thought we should leave it up, so we went with the majority and left the volume up.
When we originally did our pitch to the class, I felt that they weren't too enthusiastic about our song choice or idea, but from gathering the feedback and hearing what people have to say about it now that it's compeleted I am really happy with the response.
