Rough Cut Music Video

This is our rought cut video. It only includes the starting portion of our video and we havent played with the colours, transisions or anything yet. We just wanted to see if people felt our narrative was going in the right direction, something that we were really concerned about because of the issues we had with changing the narrative slightly.

These are the responses that we got from people who watch our rough cut:

- Good
- Not much to critique. Looked really good. Can already see a story forming through the shots.
- Good misc en scene, especially during the miming, can see that lighting is considered as its darker during that scene. Next scene with the note is good explained to the audience. Helps tell the story.
- Editing, already added a few jump cuts during the scene, good effect.
- Actually looks like a music video!
- Steady camera work.
- Not sure about the part hitting the suitcase, not sure of the meaning.


Our response to the feedback we recieved:

We are really posistive that things have gone well in the sense that the video makes sense so far. Plus we are very pleased that they think the misc en scene works. The way they like our jump cuts is also a really good thing, the jump cuts are a slight experiment on our behalf because they are slightly outside the conventions of the pop rock genre although they are seen in some of Maroon 5s and Kelly Clarksons video.

When it comes to the hitting of the suitcase, we have decided to leave it in and try seeing if it works wit the entire "her going crazy with the bage idea" if not then we shall take it out and use something else - we are not worried yet about this scene as we totally understand that at the moment it is a bit too disjointed for the scene.
