What have you learned from your audience feedback?

click the podcasts to listen to my evaluation below unfortunately due to my two podcasts reaching the limit of publishing podcasts for a day on podbean I will post the remaining four podcasts tomorrow on blogger, First I will try on podbean tomorrow if it does not work I will post the rest on Podomatic or directly embed it on my blog. I had to use podomatic in addition to podbean because my limit on podbean exceeded yesterday. (http://www.podomatic.com/profile/vivianbrown-esumai) (http://vivianbrownesumai.podbean.com/)

Editing Day 2

Marsh Lane Editing 

We had to cut from the unsteady movement using  hand held camera shot from Prince Regent  and Marsh lane smooth pan so it looks like a wipe wipe transitioning from Prince Regent to Marsh Lane. 

Final Cut Pro Effects

Gamma correction was included in these filming because it was brighter here but as the time flew by it became quite dark in the other filming of marsh lane.

 Gamma Correction was not added here it was dark in this shooting. If we made it brighter it would look grey and if we use contrast it will look even more darker because Akyni was wearing black. My group cut a some of the shot when the actor drops the ball. 

There is not enough lip syncing, I thought my group told the actor to lip sync the end of the chorus, However, if we have enough studio and the brick wall shoot to fill the time from the video.  Our Teacher Amy suggested that if we have time we could get the actor lip syncing the whole lyrics and then we have enough footage. Or we could make it a performance based video rather than narrative with the actors dancing and one person lip syncing. We have a few clips in our folder we hope that there is enough footage for lip syncing of the studio.

 TV Studio Editing

Both actors are lip syncing, we had to cut from one actor to another. (Euwan to Robert and back)
The lighting was perfect here, the problems were when we tried to fit the lip syncing with the song on. We listened to it a several times then we had to cut from where the first ballad was finished to when the next actor should lip sync.

College Editing 

(Brick Wall and Green Cargo) 

We added text to the video, and added a white font we wanted to make it more creative, but we wanted our target audience feedback so we asked a few people in our class. They think we should add a bright colour or edit the font with kente similar to the patterns and colours on the black customised costume. I asked my friends and they want it to be red and others want it to be white but in a fancy font style.

Canteen Notes

Recce of Prince Regent Station

Prince Regent Station

We chose to film at this station because of the stairs and the glass bridge where the trains go by. This location was illustrated in our storyboard of our two females dancing to the music this is our conceptual idea because the location is unusual for a promo video and it does not link to the lyrics in any form.

Side view of the stairs at the station. This is where the 2 female dancers will be dancing (on the actual stairs)

Prince Regent Station is very quiet so getting  someone to sign our location release to film here would be hard as there are hardly workers at the station. Therefore we might ask for permission from custom house which is not too far from Regent station to  film here, also there should not be a problem as there are much people at the station so our footage wouldn't disturb the public.

Feedback on The Treatment

Evaluation/Audience Feedback

Overall people didn't have much to say on the initial idea of the music video. For the club scene the audience suggested that if the club location does not work out we should consider having the location at a house to make it a house party.

One of the audience wanted to know more about the chase in the narrative of the music video. This shows that when we are filming we have to make sure that the idea of the chase (two males trying to get attention from a female) is evident.

There was an ethical consideration that we didn't think of which was one of our locations. Canary Wharf. We have to make sure that we get permission to film at the location if we still want to film there.

However we decided to have a different location, which is to film at one of the DLR stations such as Prince Regent Station.

Our main action is to make sure that the narrative of our music video is clear.We will implement this by having loads of footage at all the locations we will be filming at.

The focus group was useful partially. There was not a lot of criticism but the audience understood the concept of the treatment. We will be updating our treatment and post the final treatment with the changes from the audience feedback.
