Feedback from rough cut video and Analysis of sequence.

The feedback we had from our teachers had a mixture of views. On the whole, they liked the video but there was always room for improvement. 
General points they said that we should change or edit are:

• Some sequences were played for too long, which using a lots of variation of shots should be placed instead
• The 'floating' head may not be the best of shots
• One of the video clips are too far away from the camera- our video must interact with the audience so the use of the 'longer' shots must change
• The transitions of the changes of shots should go with the beat of the song so it would look much more effective
• We should edit with our green screen

However, when shown to other media students and classmates, they found our video to be very upbeat, funky and cool. These are some of the comments they made from watching our rough cut. 
Overall, they all enjoyed watching the rough cut and look forward to the final version!

From analyzing our rough cut sequence, there were many flaws. As you can see from the photos, these are the shots that the teachers and our group thought to change. Even though the extreme long shot of the singer (Charlotte) had some of the best acting, it is far too much of a wide shot to be used. To improve on this, we could use image framing to possibly zoom in the shot if we wanted to use it. We have many close up shots which varies so taking off the 'floating head' photo should not be much of a problem. The photo where one of the member of our group coming into the sequence to portray that fun image is ineffective because she is sometimes her head is off the shot and the fact that she 'randomly' comes onto screen.
