Second Rough Cut - Feedback From Peers

Positives

• Lip Syncing and Narrative matched well to the storyline.
• The thought beats, in the lesson and with the musical instruments, matched well and gave a good effect
• The studio scenes were shot well and it fitted in well with the rest of the storyline.
• The footage that matches up to the sweeping pads in the background fitted in well and made sure that the transition from shot to shot was smooth.

Negatives

• Out of focus shots - these have now been fixed in the video that we expect to be the final one. We have shortened the clip so that it is more controlled and because it was a bit too long, we have added other clips in its place.
• Black Widescreen Borders - Because we zoomed in on one of the shoots using Final Cut and not a camera the borders disappeared. This was a problem as the whole video was in widescreen. We fixed this by adding two black borders, that we created using Photoshop and then imported into Final Cut to fix the product.
• Special Effects in fighting - In the fighting scene it was obvious that none of the hits were making contact. This made the video seem unrealistic and unprofessional. However, we had already thought about this and have put in special effects (See previous posts) that will combat this as they will cover this up, as we wanted it to, and also give a more 'Superhero Comic Book' sort of theme. It also takes away the seriousness of the video and makes it more accessible for a wider audience.
