First draft feedback

Today we showed our first draft to our class and teachers so they could watch it and give us feedback on how to improve it. As a whole, there were lots of ways we could improve it. One of the most common themes was the cinematography. A lot of the outside shots were shaky as we were doing them handheld because of issues with the ground and the dolly. A lot of our classmates and teachers felt that we would need to re-do these shots using either a dolly, tripod, steadicam or shoulder mount to make it much more stable. We as a group already decided that we would do this after we completed our first draft. Another common theme was to change the ending of the video. The video ends in the recording studio and seems very anti-climatic and slightly boring as there are quite a few of these recording studio shots in the video at the moment. Again we had decided already that we wanted to film at one of the locations we went to for our photo-shoot and include it towards the end. A few of the positives included the performance and lip singing of our main artist. This is something that we noticed, however a few times (especially towards the beginning of shooting) we felt that Jacob didn't know all the words and sometimes wasn't performing them well enough so that the audience would be able to understand what he was saying.
