Advice received from our peers

What we need to do to improve

  • For the shots of the girls lip-syncing we only took one shot of each of them and one shot of them together so as a result, there is not really much variation of shots. To develop from this we have chosen that when it next comes round to this, we will take some more shots of the girls again but from different angles. From this, we will be able to add them to our current footage and cut between each shot. This will hopefully keep the audience engaged throughout as it will make it look more visually interesting.
  • Along with this, we will also take some more close up shots of the girls to add even more variety.
  • We are also thinking of filming more shots with a shorter duration time such as of the girls getting ready and everyone running to place in between the footage of the girls lip-syncing. By doing this, it will make the whole video seem quick and snappy which will fit with the beat of the music.
  • We have added an effect to a footage of a close up of our feet in which there is one of the girls feet on the top half of the screen running in one direction and the one of the boys feet on the bottom half running in the opposite direction. It was suggested that we add some more of these split screen effects to make an obvious theme run throughout as one split screen looks out of place. By adding more of these effects, it will also add more humour to our final music video.
  • If we find we have enough time after completion of our music video, we may look into adding textual lyrics to some of the clips. We will experiment with the size, font, colour and texture to go with our theme and Star Persona we hope to achieve. If we do choose to add this text we will time it so that the transition happens on the beat of our music. With this, it will again, engage the audience and keep them interested for the duration time of our music video.
