Final Music Video Feedback

Once again, feedback is incredibly useful for any piece of work. Even though I have now made all the changes I will to my video, and have created a final version, I still feel that class feedback is useful. So for the second time, I have let my classmates watch my video and feedback and thoughts they have on it.


"Video fits in with the genre well. Quite scary at times, but I suppose that's what you want it to be like, and it suits the genre very well. The actors are really good. I like the theme of little red riding hood also; it's different. When you do the singing with the face paint, it suits the genre really good and the lip syncing is good. Well done man." Vishal Kumar

"Excellent use of mise en scene and well thought-out location. Effective lighting and accurate lip syncing. Good use of contrasting colours with the girl's little red riding hood type appearance.
Good editing of shots, which creates suspense and maintains interest all the way through." Ben Scott

"Narrative works well with the shots. The parallel editing is effective is a lot of shots. Lighting works well the dark genre. Well done :)" Sian Lynes

"The narrative works really well with the video and the whole concept is very effective. If anything, maybe making some shots lighter would of been better to be able to see things in more detail." Laura Ward

"The narrative is by far the most effective aspect of the video; it is believable as it feels very much like you are watching a story. Good use of filters and effects; adds to the creepy atmosphere.
Costume/makeup choices fit well with the theme of the video, and the syncing of the guitars and singing to the music is very accurate. The only criticism I can make is that some shots are a little too dark, particularly the shots of 'Manson' singing. Well done, though." Martyn Hollinshead

"The narrative is really well thought out and generally scares us, which is what we presume you intended. Your costume and make-up is really well done and you look the part. The effects/editing in the video is very effective and advance. If there was one thing to improve on, then it would maybe be the lighting on the main singers face, because it was hard at times to see the lip-syncing." Mattie White & Steph Law

"Good narrative and good costume. Maybe the end could have been scarier as it built up to just her eyes being closed. Makeup and transition are very effective." Mae Burton & Laura Barsby


I am very happy with all of the feedback that I have rcieved from my final video, and I feel that I have improved it tenfold from the first draft a few weeks ago. The one criticism people picked up on was the lighting being too dark in some shots. I appreciate this, and probably did have it a little bit too dark, but it was a design choice in an attempt to create the right atmosphere. The other interesting point that Mae and Laura brought up, was their view that the end of the video, where the girl "dies", was too anticlamtic and that something more excited should of happened. Again, I chose this ending for a reason, as I wanted it to be subtle and contrast the gore of my digipack slightly. I feel however, that both criticisms are valid, and I would definitely consider changing a few things if I went back to do it again.
