Today I completed the first draft of my entire coursework and tomorrow I will hand it in to be analysed and marked over the Christmas holidays by my teacher. This will give me a great deal of qualitative feedback which I can use in the new year to help understand how I can improve my work.
The best piece of feedback that I have already recieved would be to re-shoot some of the footage for my music video (especially that from the studio) and usea crane rather than just placing the camera on a tripod. The reason for this is because the still shots create a static feel to my video, whereas slow, sweeping movements would add to the whimsical, romantic tone of the song. Additionally, the cuts from one shot to another seem too harsh for the soft sound of the song.
For now, I have tried to soften the look of the video by using crossfade transisions on each clip using Adobe Premiere CS6. These transitions allow clips to fade into one another, which helps the movement look smother rather than harsh cuts that do not reflect the mood of the song well.
When re-recording my studio footage, I would like to get a wider variety of shot such as footage of Monique naturally relaxing or dancing around rather than all of it of her sitting in one position on a char, singing the lyrics as it may get slightly repetitive.
My peer advised me on how to integrate the Hyde Park footage as I told him that I didn't feel like I had a large amount of decent footage, therefore for now I have split up the part where Monique finds the letter and spread it throughout the video in quite a chronological order, so instead of the Hyde Park footage being the linear narrative, it in fact a flashback itself and it is as if Monique is telling the story through the miming of the lyrics in the studio footage.
