Todd (cheif editor) Feedback

My dad works for a company called Godfrey Entertainment that makes TV shows and music videos and other media products. Once me and Philippa had finished our final video I emailed the link to my dad and asked him if we could get someone he works with the watch it and email me some feedback.

The chief editor of Godfrey Entertainment,Todd, emailed me this feedback.....

“Hi Alie,

Nice job on the music video. Your Dad said you were interested in
feed back... There isn't a right way or a wrong way as I'm sure
you've learned in
your classes as art is subjective.

Were you limited to shooting in studio? Not allowed to mix in random
shots of your artist perhaps walking down a street?

I think you have to consider the type of song and that dictates the
style of the video. You did that. Your cut matched the pace of the
song. Creatively, you could have taken some of your shooting a
little further, for example, shooting close ups of a shoe or even a
shoe lace on the stool, ecu of the frets of the guitar, her eyes,
etc. I think more of that would have been interesting. Textures
(from filters during your edit) could have been also used to add some
depth. Grainy black and white. Perhaps an over exposed or blown
out look(hot). Maybe more rack focusing.

These aren't new ideas. There really aren't too many ways to
innovate as everything has been done and done again. It depends on
whether you're limited by budget, turn around time,
location, or class assignment.

It would be difficult to create for your many different angles, but I
really liked the shadows on her face as the video was fading to
black, about 4:03, where she was more back lit.

Keep up the good work!

Todd”
