I am sssssoooooooooo happy with my music video, I worked really hard and so did Tabby (my dancer), we had to stay at school on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd of December till 6:30 both days to get all the filming done!
We encountered problems, as we expected. The lights wouldn't work on the Tuesday - as in they wouldn't change from red, so we had to film all the dancing for that night in red light. This worried me, because the lighting director wasn't going to be there on Wednesday and I was panicking that we would have the same problem again - but we didn't! The lights were being good, and changed straight away from blue to white!
Tabby was an amazing dancer to work with, she was so patient and helped me get over the obstacles in our way. When I asked her to do something for me she didn't ask questions or get shy, she just got right down to it and I think that's mainly why we got it finished so quickly. I got a lot of footage of her dancing to seperate sections of the song, and she lip singed the sections that I need as well. She put a lot of effort into her performance and that really comes across in the video.
To try and get mass feedback and an idea of the general feeling that my audience felt in regards to my video, I decided to upload a link to facebook to get people to notice it more. Below is a screenshot of the post:
The post has been up for around 17 hours, and it's got 32 likes on facebook and really positive comments! On YouTube, it has 5 likes and 233 views already! This has made me really happy, having all the initial comments positive and not having any dislikes on YouTube either!!!
On Facebook I did asked for some positive and some 'room for improvement' comments, and my friend John gave me an improvement one.
He said "You could have focused less on the smoke and maybe used some background props?", however although I appreciate his feedback and his opinion on the video, I do actually believe that if I had the chance to redo it, I wouldn't add background props in. This is because, from the other array of positive comments, I feel that making the focus less on her and more on other objects wouldn't leave the same effect on the audience.
To try and grab a few more members of my audience for feedback, I asked them in person what they thought of the video (and the ancillary texts), and whether they thought they all worked together; because I had already got their opinions on them individually.
I put their responses into a video, and below is the result:
