Feedback for Peer Video First Drafts

Below is the feedback i gave other groups for the first draft of there music videos.

Tori Lorente
I liked the opening with the lights i thought that the duplications matched to the beat well giving a good effect. The locations you have used are slightly boring and not iconic. At Hylands House you had a giant house to sing in front of but you used one of the pillars to stand against instead. There is also a leave colour effect in this part which seems pretty useless in combination with the rest of the video. Overall i would say to improve the video think of why you are doing things and what they bring to the video.

Sempa
I like the overall feel of the video. The black flashes seem slightly overuse and loose there impact as it continues throughout the song. I wouldn't reuse the same clip in the chorus although it looks really cool. Either make a new clip with the drawings of try something else.

Annika
The video is shot really nicely with a fluent combination of shots. I really liked the shots of the trumpet with the low angle shots giving it power. The only improvements would probably be to see if you can add any short narrative parts to line up with the lyrics.

AVA
I really liked the theme of being young and going out and about to fairs and baking with your sister etc. The video didn't flow well for me and some of the lip syncing was poorly used. To improve i would suggest you have a separate darker location of the singer to do the lip syncing and all the rest with the fun shots cut away from the main performance. I think this will give the video a nostalgic feel.

Iuris
Really cool song, obviously not completed taking into account there are all black parts. I really like how you have some of the leave colour as a main theme in your video its quite impactive and poignant. To improve the video i would try and find a better more impactive shot to find when the drop comes in because it seems kind of wasted at the moment.

Ivory
This video is stunning so far. I really like the idea of the singer over time getting crazier and i really like the idea. To improve i would probably find some good editing to match up to the beat of the song possibly like an opacity drop could be effective. Overall, not a lot to improve, really good video.

Luella
I like the idea you have with the narrative. I think domestic violence is a good topic to take and it works well with the song. To improve i would suggest that you are more creative with camera angles and think about who is being represented in each shot. The audience positioning is important because it displays the emotions they should have for each character. Better editing could be used to make it feel more like a music video rather than a short story. I would suggest try to do more cuts to make it snappier when the girl is packing her things to leave. This will make her seem in more of a rush as her abusive boyfriend is on the way home.
