All in all, the video has been well received, the audience love the song, the lyrics, instrumental, scenery, editing and the video itself. The majority gave positive feedback with little to no complaints. The negative feedback that was received the most was that the characters were very hard to see. In other words the lighting was bad or the shots were not close enough.
Our Media teacher is suggesting that we redo some scenes from the video. Our music video contains really good editing and shots but altogether it could be better. We, the team agree but because we spent so much time focusing on media and neglecting our other subjects we are now finding it hard to find time to re-shoot the parts that need to be updated.
We also noticed the song isn't in great sync with the video. This is because we filmed the video with the older version of the song and used the new version of the song for the actual video. We are taking all the improvements into consideration, the only thing that is against us is time. Moreoever the actors we used are no longer available especially as we are all back to school.
Another thing is that some of the actors are not comfortable with the camera being so close to them, especially with a bright light in their face. For example October laughs at pretty much everything and we doubt we would be able to capture more than a second of a close up for her.
Would this mean we would have to film a whole new video with new actors? We hope not, however on the other hand we are considering doing another video, this is how much we love media. Let me speak for myself actually. I love media with a passion. When it comes to media I am very creative, determined and focused. Doing a new video would not be stressful at all, it would be a pleasure. Then again time is our only constraint.
If we do a new video with a new song this is the instrumental we would use, once again produced by me in free time.
We are planning to do a song based on guilty conscience, inspired by Eminem's and Dr. Dre's 'Guilty Conscience'.
Martin, as I said in the lesson, I think it would be very silly to throw out all of your good work and make lots of extra work for yourselves by starting all over again. You DO have some very good footage, just need to re-shoot a few of the sections to make it better. Time is tight so lets do this please and then work on your ancillary tasks asap. It is impractical to start again.
