Other class members feedback.

Initial impressions: good areas
Theres good believable chemistry between the two characters, the class Liked the shots of two characters looking back at each other, they thought there were good shots of the band, liked the band being in black and white because it divided them up from the narrative.

Initial areas: weak impressions

They thought the band could have been more enthusiastic and that it was difficult to realise who the main singer is, the main singer could of been put in the middle or had more shots (close ups) of him to show the audience he is the main singer. Some of the cinematography looked a bit amateurish at times.

Use of cinematography
There should have been more shots and also more close up shots, the shot of the two characters turning heads was really good. Although there were a lack of shots the overall camera work was good.

Use of mise- en- scene
The two characters looked the part, the band also looked good, the location worked well with the narrative and performance.

Use of editing
The switch between narrative and performance was perfectly timed so the audience didn’t get bored of watching it, the story built up the relationship well the story also works well with the song, the lyrics were represented well so were the cuts and they loved the slow motion effect when the characters were looking back at each other.

Suitability of visuals to the music & lyrics
It fits nicely and the music and visuals reflected the lyrics well.
Response to brief
Everyone said yes

Production values and technical ability
One of the zoom ins was a bit wobbly it could be improved. The class thought we should of either used tripod all the way through or use handheld all the way through because it didn't look slick like it would with a tripod and it didn't look crazy like it would have done if it were done hand held.

Suitability to the genre of music
Yes it was suitable to the genre of music

Suitability of creating a bands/ artists image (representation)
The band didn’t seem very enthusiastic and there was a slight conflict between a young narrative and an old band.

Suitability for target audience
Mainly for older people however by involving a young love story it opens it up to a younger audience
as well.
