Rough Cut Screening + Feedback

We screened the first cut of our film to the entire class on the large projector screen.




Our feedback from our class mates and teachers was good overall. The main concern in our video was that its story was still a little confusing.
The class asked us: " If the paigon is the one who betrays, then why is he performing?"
After that question was asked I then understood that we needed to remove some of the skeleton mask scenes from our video. However we plan to use it a few times as a still image to show the theme of betrayal in our video.
So the day after we re filmed a few scenes that we could use to replace the scenes where there was too much use of the mask.

We removed most of the footage which involved skulls. and replaced them some new footage we filmed.

Also there were mostly people who said that there was a fair amount of rap videos which contained masks, however the only issue was that the video is more performance based by looking at the rest of our footage.

So as a result of the feedback we removed most of the skull footage and replaced it with new footage we filmed in the studio.

Our classmates and teachers gave us positive feedback when it came to the editing itself.
They said that the accuracy of the editing and clips syncing very well with the beat was done excellently. The choice of colours was compulsory in my eyes since, the video would have been a bit plain if there was no colour variation. So me and my work partner made use of the channel mixer tool in "effects" in Adobe Premiere Pro. This was very "pleasing to the eye" as my classmates and teachers said,


Lastly one of our classmates popped the comment, that there was not enough shot variation all of the studio scenes we too zoomed out and the street scenes were too shaky and not very comfortable for the eye when viewing. Which is why (as said before) we re-filmed at different angles and focused on medium close ups. We also changed it up a little bit by including a hat and lip syncing the song whilst sitting on a reversed chair.

Our first cut of the film was rated 7/10 according to our classmates. We aim to do way better in our final cut which is currently in production and will be uploaded soon.
