We submitted the first draft, of which was peer assessed by the class. They all carried out a peer to peer assessment, helping us in identify what others think about our video.
In general the overall results were good, giving us both strengths and weaknesses. The grades we got varied from D to a B, with marks on average being around the 25 out of 40 range. People said they particularly liked the quick cuts which occurred on the beats, additionally the audience liked the interesting framing and unique, urban looking locations; both conventions of the Drum and bass genre.
However we also gained thoughtful, developed feedback which should help improve our grades. A common trend was that the beginning had no meaning. The first shot we see of the single character walking is not seen in the rest of the video, making the audience question her exciting in the rest of the music video. to improve this we decided to remove the whole character from the storyline, making it more understandable, and also more conventional of the drum and bass genre.
Additionally at the beginning the shots are very shaky and unsteady. These will be removed and we will re shoot the scene with a new different video which will be cut aways of different urban dereliction objects as well as the masked character being located in a run down environment. This should make the opening seem more relevant and fit in with the overall look of the rest of the video.
Finally we will be filming a lot more cut aways in order to replace the repeated shots, this also makes the video more appealing as the audience wont be watching the same shot and mise en scene throughout the video.
