Rough Cut Review

We have now created our rough cut for our music video and after creating this we have then realised what needs to be added and what parts we could do again or make better. For example, the first two verses and the chorus's were all very strong with the lipsyncing however the last verse (which is the fastest rapping in the song) is not very well synced and it would be wise for us to film this again. There are also short parts throughout the song where we didn't finish off a verse or missed a lyric or two which we will also re film.
I and the group also feel that some of the mise-en-scene (especially the costume) is not up to scratch and does not fit with the mise-en-scene we are trying to portray. The artist I am performing as had poor costume and we feel it is needed that when we redo my verse that I wear more urban clothing than what I did. Doing this will definately strenghten our video, making it more believable and proffessional.
After reviewing our cut a couple of times, we felt that the video could become a bit boring with all lip sycing throughout. Despite the rapping being so realistic in each shots and having a range of locations, it became clear that we needed lots of different shots without rapping to add. For example we mentioned we could have the artist playing on an arcade which is talked about in one line etc. This should make the video more engaging for the audience and will probably fit into the conventions of proffessional music videos.
We will film for one night again after half term and we hope to make sure all of these things are shot so we can clean up the rough cut and make sure our video is a good as it can be. I think that if we then add effects within our edit the video will then come together and suit our proposed target audience perfectly.
