Audience feedback: Final cut

To get feedback on our final cut, we sat 13 people, within our target audience, in a room together and showed them our video. They were each given a sheet with the examiners mark scheme and a comments section, and then we asked them to complete the sheet after watching the video. Some of the comments we received were:
·         ‘Music works really well with plot line’
·         ‘Good colour correction’
·         ‘The end makes it all tie in’
·         ‘In time with music’
·         ‘The ending is so good, like a major plot twist bringing it all together’
·         ‘Great use on mise-en-scene’
·         ‘Love the ending’
·         ‘I like the re-enactment group’
·         ‘original and creative’
·         ‘cute ending’
·         ‘I like the overlaying shot’
·         ‘the ending is good’
·         ‘good use of editing to create a sense of disorientation’
·         ‘Interesting use of mise-en-scene with characters and costumes.
      ·         ‘A little repetitive in the battle’
·         ‘Some shots are messy’
·         ‘don’t like the live performance’
·         ‘lip-syncing is slightly out at the beginning’
·         ‘an enthusiastic singer, helps with the overall song theme’
·         ‘the black and white doesn’t go in my opinion’
We were quite happy with the amount of positive feedback that we received, and we were able to reflect upon the not so positive comments, to know how we would be able to improve our video if we were to do the project again.

Video Thumbnail


We decided that we should have a thumbnail made for our video, since most professional music videos & YouTube videos nowadays to entice their audience into watching their video. We used Photoshop to edit a photo taken on day of shooting, as well as keeping the same fonts and logos as used on the poster to make it even more recognizable.

Final cut


Now that we have finished the lip-syncing scenes, our video is finished! The final video is on youtube below:
 
For the lip syncing, we used our bearded friend Charlie Segens, and we filmed the parts in a music recording studio. These looked much better than we thought it would as Charlie really got into the role, and showed lots of enthusiasm and enjoyment. Our next task is to seek feedback for our final cut.
