Amar And Andria's Feedback

After editing further after our rough cut and adding more shots we filmed on Thursday, we then got feedback from Amar (who is a professional music video producer) and Andria (our media teacher). They were highly impressed with most of the lip-sycning - mainly the first part of the video - however they felt because Steve's great lipsyncing, the second artists part is slightly outshone. We were told to try and pick out the best lines from Reece's part to use and then use cutaway's for the parts of the verse that aren't as good. At the beginning Amar felt that there should be a short cutaway before Steve started rapping to make the beginning more involved and engaging - we will make sure we do add something in here.
We were given credit for the walking and rapping we used in the video - however it was felt that there was not enough of this. We will be looking through our footage to find more shots like this as they are seen to make the video look less simple. The pace of the editing was good, however they also felt that some of the shots needed to be tweaked to make sure the lip-syncing (especially in the third verse) was as good as it could be.
Finally we all thought that effects and filters could be added to make the video look more urban. Although we were praised for our use of costumes, props and locations to create and urban look, it was still felt that to make the piece more professional that filters and effects should be added. We have decided to add these in right at the end, when we have finished all of the editing of the shots.
