Demographics by Levi Wijohn

 Questions:

  1. What do you think worked well?
  2. What do you think could be improved?
  3. Did you understand the main plot of the music video?
  4. Is there anything you think should be taken out of the music video?
Mum:
"The connection between her as a child and her is an adult is a cool way of looking at the song"
"The cuts between shots could be a lot sharper and the matching between the song and the lip syncing is a little off at some times the little things are the difference between a good music video and a really good one."
"Yes, here and there I got a little lost i reckon it would be good to show a major difference between her when she is younger vs her when she is older maybe make the clips look a little ages or find something that works"
"There was on awkward clip before the first chorus which didn't really work well"

Hunter:
"I like how you made the videos of her childhood look a bit more aged and how you intensified the lighting in certain situations"
"Some of the footage is a little long and it draws out the chorus and clips a lot try adding more cuts in between the long clips"
"Yes I helped make the music video so i understand it very well"
"No its is pretty good i reckon you just need to add a little more to it"

Kayla:
"The cool effects and colours you have added to it made it quite cool"
"The light when shes on the stage can be a bit bright sometimes and its a little distracting"
"Yes it was pretty easy to follow what was happening"
"No its really good just need a few more touch ups"

Luke:
"I like the contrast between her life as a child and her life as she has grown up"
"The clip when she starts singing i think it might have been the chorus was really long and it really needed something to break it up"
"Yes I understood the basic concept of the video I think it got a little repetitive at one point so maybe making one part of the song dedicated to her younger life but i do like the idea of spreading it throughout"
"No i like the overall video it was pretty cool"

Tyson:
"I think the ending was really good how it was like a full reflection of her life up until present time it worked really well"
"I think some of the clips were a little awkward and just didn't fit the overall look of the clip but its just a minor adjustment"
"Yes it made sense of how she was remembering her younger self and reminiscing"
"Maybe those awkward clips but otherwise it was good"

Response:
Taking into account all of these responses the main criticisms i have heard are:
1) Some clips are too long
2) some clips look awkward
3) Sharper cuts between clips/ little touch ups

I will for my final edit add in an after effect to make the clips of when she is younger look like it was filmed on a vhs camera this helps to give a clear distinction between her as a young child vs present time.
I will work on adding more cutaway shots to shorten the longer clips but also make sure to not pick the clips that seem a bit awkward as we have plenty of footage to choose from.

    Rough edit and peer responses: 14/20

    - A good rough edit, some good 'bones' to work with
    - Would have been good to include profiles for your peer review (photos/ names / ages) to make this a more effective presentation of reviews from your target audience
    - questions could have been more pointed and crafted in a way that got a better-suited response in terms of getting an idea of what your target audience is expecting from your genre, etc.
    - Your response to your peer responses would have been good to include thoughts for how audience study, done above, applies to your project. What are you taking into consideration for how you target your product to the particular target audience you're aiming for? Some good thoughts for how to apply peer feedback although a longer and more detailed response would have got you higher grades.
