Footage Review after rough cut review

After receiving feedback from our rough cut which was largely positive but also criticised, we sat down as a group in Dans lesson to go through the clips we had to see what went right and what went wrong. As a group we discussed what we will shoot next, including reshoots and new shots to add to the music video. We all gathered that the shots at Southbank did not work out as well as we thought it did although we had the lighting equipment, because the batteries ran out quick and we were not really prepared before hand by not bringing spare batteries. Also, we figured that the shots at millennium bridge also did not work out well for two reasons.

•Firstly, the lighting on Farha during her base track did not work out well because during her performance, she moved in and out the lighting direction, causing some parts of the shots to be darker than other parts.

•Secondly, the very ending were I, (mystery person) walk past Farha did not come out as clear as we wanted it to be, as the shot would not be clear enough to the audience in a sense of the narrative.

•Lastly, we did not take a variety of shots to film for the base track. We were limited to close ups and mid-shots, but were in need of wide shots and other angled shots that we did not use. 

Due to this, we took action and prepared for the next filming session, were we would be prepared with batteries and equipment, with a good idea of what types of shots to do and how to do them.

However, positive feedback encouraged us and gave us motivation to continue our filming. some feedback that were positive were

• Good shots at the Barbican with the birds and rain dripping in the background
• Narrative presented clearly
• good ideas, just need re-shooting to make the ideas we have come out clearly in the video.
