How has this helped in our work?
Getting audience feedback is one of the most vital things to do in order to create great work. Collecting direct feedback from your audience helps us understand more what they like and what they didn't so we can fit our work with the criteria of the audience, as this is the main reason music videos are made - to entertain and capture an audience.
We've learnt that the footage we have collected has been successful and it works well with the music which is a fantastic success and achievement. We have also achieved in creating emotion within our music video which was one of our major aims. Using a topic such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is incredibly risky as you've got to make the audience really feel and believe it and so far I think that we've done this very well.
The only improvements to be made so far is to mainly sort out technical things like lip syncing and footage which was already on our list of things to do. As 'Dan' said in his improvements, the footage at the beginning is different in quality to the rest of the film and this is something we will be re-filming to get better and more improved footage. Having filmed the shots once before we know what we'll be doing and can apply any enhancements to our work as possible. This has helped us learn a massive amount and hopefully our progression will show in our work.
