Audience Feedback From Rough Cut

After presenting my video I had useful feedback which enables me to redraft my music video. Comments included:

• Need more of a clear concept- band or narrative?- combine the two.
• More of a variety of shots and angles
• Lip synching
• Location seems cramped with the band
• Good use of costumes and theme- represents the indie genre

Therefore, I shall refilm my video and perhaps try a different location- outside to represent a more quirky indie video- perhaps at nighttime to reflect the lyrics of "haunting". -This is will be done my garden with the band performing outside.

What's more after analysing the lyrics more in depth I am going to develop the genre of the band with indie meets gothic.

For example the reference to "haunt" reoccurs in the song therefore I will take that idea and create the band image, contrasting the normal indie "style" to gothic rock style.

This making more of a clear concept to my video relating band to song.

-Perhaps Tamara-lead singer- to wear black lace? showing indie meets gothic- different "edgyness" to the band. Band persona?

I will also need to be careful with wires etc- as there is a scene in my video where the wire is on the floor - unplugged from guitar so therefore I will not use any wires or amps in the refilming.

Perhaps get a microphone stand- like videos such as Paramore- the singer shows a lot of emotion and uses the microphone and stand to show enthusiasm - reflect the upbeat song.

I think I will focus more on the band on my refilming and not have much of a narrative- like bands such as Kings of Leon and Kasbian include the band throughout the video, perhaps have Tamara on her own in a few shots to reflect the lyrics- like looking at past photos etc.
