Feedback on the teacher's feedback.

After receiving feedback on our rough cut from the teacher we have decided to not focus on the famous locations and instead just have locations that look good in the shots. We are still thinking of having the River Cam as we like the idea of what we will do on the river Cam and not just the location.

Thursday

This week we will be capturing the band shots which we can edit and put in place before we shoot the recognizable location shots. The shots we will be shooting will be very similar to the test footage shots.

We have gathered a band together to perform in our video. Their names are Sami, Ollie, Jamie and Michael. Their costume is going to be jeans, hats, t-shirt etc. The location will be a music room. We have chosen this room as it contains a drum-kit and all the suitable instruments required.

Rough Cut

Here is our rough cut using the test footage. We have added more footage and more effects. This is the final idea for the video we just need to shoot our actual footage and follow this structure.



Rough Cut Teacher Feedback

Your chosen editing style fits with the tone and rhythm of the track very well; especially the very quickly cut sequences. You need to retain this device throughout the majority of the video in order to keep the attention of the viewer. Actually, it is better to gradually reveal your key devices as the track goes on. Good so far.
