Screen shots of music video responses

This is what my music video looks like once I had posted it on my wall on Facebook for my group for audiences to see. We have only had a few likes so far, but I have been messaging people for them to go on YouTube to watch it and I have already got a lot of comments and I have screen-shot them to comment on, to show elements of their comments that we are proud of and have tried to change and work on. 

This was a comment from my friend who has his own rather successful YouTube account he commented this on my YouTube page about our music video. I took this as very good constructive criticisms, as they're are plenty of compliments on strong elements of our music video such as our use of stop motion, this to me makes it even stronger the fact that it is every ones favourite element. Yet I accept the criticisms on the skirting boards they're some shots I agree that I could of cropped far more in the editing process, such as the paper man scenes, as you can see the carpet, in Molly's final dancing scene in particular you can see a mat and I think a bit of a door, I would of liked to of changed that a bit it I was to run through the music video with a fine tooth comb. I am most proud that in this comment he noticed that the serene and loud scenes, I was so careful when placing them in to the time line. So overall I was happy and I agreed with this feedback.

This was from a former student at our school and this is always good when we get feedback from people that have already done this course as they know what to do, as they are able to give really good feedback. Again picking up on the animations, and she picked up on our conscious decision to break up the video with them to keep the audience enticed throughout. I'm glad that she liked our choice of an actress as she does suit the song and acts superbly throughout in my opinion. I am happy that she gave no negative feedback, of course making it myself I'm proud of it however they are many elements I would tweak. However I'm glad she enjoyed it and commented on our choice of filming only on Sunny days.

This was just one comment of many by our friends that just put a one line comment on our music video. This is still good feedback as it's always good to know that people have enjoyed our music video.

This is one of my friends on Facebook who is in my year doing this course at the moment so it is good to look at each others work. She picked up on our editing techniques such as split screens as a refreshing element to our music video. She was the first to comment on our Mise-en-scene via Facebook which was good as this was a main feature of mine working within Cinematography and Mise-en-scene, as I set up and framed and chose props all of scenes perfectly. Again I'm glad she picked up on our change in jump cuts to match the beats of the song. This is again another positive piece of feedback and I'm gad that she picked up on everything we purposely thought out. As it shows that our music video has worked in getting across all of our decisions and messages.

This is another one liner comment from one of our friends, again it's also good to get positive comments from everyone.

This was from my friend who is currently in their final year at university, I found his comment beneficial as he also knows a lot of music videos and how they should be constructed and edited. Again it's good that he liked our main feature the animations, especially that he picked up the changing ratio's between the animation and real video. This is a good constructive criticism and we have consciously tried throughout to keep this from happening.
