Video Feedback

Recently we completed the music video, and we are extremely happy with it. We have shown it to a couple of groups of people, and they were all very positive towards it. One of our Media Studies teachers showed our video to a group of Media specialists. They gave some mixed feedback, but all in all they were surprised with the quality of the camerawork.

One thing they did mention was that the video was slightly unclear. For us in the group we know what is going on in the video as we came up with the idea, but for other viewers, it could be slightly random. Also, in the scene where Richard is running to the car we had to do a slight cut to speed up the shot, and unfortunately there is a slight glitch in the trees. When we showed the video to younger audiences they didn't notice it, but apparently the Media group noticed it during the 3rd or 4th playing. They mentioned that it isn't as bad as we think and it isn't too noticeable. The only reason that some of them noticed it was because that their jobs are to find and rectify slight glitches in videos and video games, so they are very professional.

We have also completed the Digipack, we've burnt a video into Quicktime which is almost like a slideshow, showing the front cover, the back cover, 3 CD inlays and the promotional poster. We are having some troubles with the quality of the video after we exported it, so we are trying out all the different possibilities. One of the main troubles that we had on the dvd was that when we went to play the video, it came up the size of a stamp on the screen, and even though we filmed it on a HD camera, it came up very blurry. We are currently sorting these problems out and we should be finished quite soon.

Once we've completed this, we can show it to different sections of our target audience. We also feel that it would be a good idea to show it to the original band "Yellow Garage" to get their feedback, as in a sense, the video is for them.
