Feedback from Pete

We decided to tweet the examiner asking for feedback on our video and how we could improve it, he said that we need to increase the editing pace which is in comparison to what our teachers have said is the main point in which we need to improve our video. Apart from that he liked our unique location and also that our performers looked good.

Results taken from our survey

Survey of other feedback on all our rough cuts

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.
We have designed a survey to give people of a similar target audience to our video for them to comment upon our video, website and digipak and for them to give us feedback in which we will use to improve our designs. 

Feedback from Jake

It compares to most the feedback we have got about splitting up the shots from the environment to the ones we have in the barn as we have a lot of focus upon the woods shots rather than them in another location. We haven't really used a lot of close-ups because we had problems with lip syncing within our video so therefore we needed to get more footage once we had handed in the first draft.

Teacher Feedback on my Rough Cuts

After looking at both of these feedback sheets I have gathered good areas in which I need to improve my wesbite, digipak and music video. Firstly; 

• For the website I have already made a twitter page for my website I just haven't added the link to my website yet so that is the first thing I need to do. Secondly, after we have created the music video I need to add that to my front page because at the minute I was using the original video for a template which obviously wouldn't look good on my final product as it would be promoting the wrong one. Finally, rotate the images on the photos page, adding captions to them so that the fans can understand what is going on and also add better pictures to some of the pages. 
• Secondly, the digipak needs significant improvement to it, we have thought of making the front cover background just a solid image so that the cassette on the front stands out. Make sure that the lighting on the images reflects the genre and lets the images stand out, considering a good location setting throughout the images. Make the track listing bigger so that people can read it and make sure that it contrasts from the background. 
• Finally, the music video we need to make sure that the pace fits the atmosphere of the song because at the minute our video's editing pace is too slow for the song. We need to make sure that our actors are animated because they don't seem to be enjoying the video and as it has a happy tone they don't replicate this. Maybe add a costume change into the video because we have the same costume within the outside location and the barn location. 

The adaptations to our rough cuts will begin this week and we will focus on other feedback from people such as our target audience making sure that we ask the correct amount of people to have a good evalutation on our results.

Feedback on my research and planning

From this blog feedback I have made sure that all the posts that were missing have been added with detail and I have also added Dom to our group post. Most of my blog posts were up to date but needed more detail added to them to achieve a better mark. I have made flatplans for the website on all of the pages and scanned them into my blog but to keep up on target with my A grade I am making the target to frequently do blog posts every lesson to show how i'm improving my work and also how i'm speding my time because at the moment i'm only posting things when I've done something significant whereas I should be showing the examiner each time I do something however small it is.
