Last night our school hosted a creative arts evening and
presented all the sixth formers work which include my groups music video and
the ancillary tasks. During the evening we collected feedback of our work, in
conclusion there were mixed reviews. The negative side of the feedback for the
video was that the lip syncing wasn’t up to the standards of what it should be.
Also some shots were very pixelated which meant they were hard to watch and
people became uninterested in our video.
There were comments on the shots usage
as well; saying that they were too simplistic and boring. Suggestions of new
shots were tracking and jib.
However with the negative comments there were positive,
mostly about how clear the narrative was. The audience understood that when the
couple were together they happy and everything was right with the world. But
when apart, without each other it wasn’t. This is what we were aiming for,
which meant receiving comments like that made up very happy. The audience also
liked the fact that the couple had obvious chemistry.
When it came to my ancillary tasks, there were a lot of
positive comments on the style. I had tried to mix a modern style with an old
fashioned one. Using old style wooden frames and then using photoshop, editing
and placing pictures in them. The audience seemed to like this but also gave me
some tweaks to make e.g. changing some of the photos to more concentrate on
Bruno Mars.
In conclusion the creative arts evening although not every
comment was positive we now understand our weaknesses as a group and also our
strengths. We will now go away and amend the problems highlighted to us.
