Question 3: What have you learned from your audiences feedback?

We interviewed a small group of our peers to get some information on what they liked, what they disliked and how we could improve our video.

Positives:

• "the angles during the parts in manchester with the girl and at the begining with the canted angles, also for the green screen where we put close ups of the singer showed good acting and convincing lip sinking at this point."
  

• "I liked the quick cut rate that went along with the beat and helps build up emotions with the audience so i think the viewers felt more connected to the video and the music together"
  

• "I thought the earthquake effects were very well implamented and helped convay the idea that this characters mental state was falling apart also the colour filters where they desaturated the clip with the boy punching the camera it makes him seem like an evil shodow it was really well done"
  
• "The narrative of the video was very creative and it worked increadibly well with the song choice it was very convincing and it matched not only the lyrics but the musics theme"
  

negatives:

• "some of the green screen editing had colour differences like when the singer first appeared you saw the white background but there were some very noticable grey flecks around him"
  
• "lip sinking during some points with the boy in the bedroom seemed a little bit lack i couldnt tell if he was saying the words or just saying something completely different"
  
• "some of the camera angles seemed amateur they did seem like they were just some kids running around with a hand held camera other than a professtional crew
  
• "lighting at points were too dark eg. the parts filmed in Manchester witht he girl where she ran away it seemed as though the the camera turned off or something it just went completely black"

Things we can do to improve:

• To combat the problems with the green screen we would need to spend more time and care when selecting the chroma key and chooseing the softness and the width of the key to get rid of the grey flecks of any other unwanted colour interferance
• To improve the lip sinking all we need to do is re shoot the scene and make sure that the actor we used adds extra emphasis on his pronounciation of the words he speaks.
• We need to take more time and concideration when picking the shots we use for the video such as which ones look professtional and which ones fail to meet that criteria.
• Also we need to put more consideration into where we set our video and that it has plenty of lighting so that there are no "balckouts" or where the audience cant understand what is going on
