Final peer feedback- Evaluation Activity 3

Peer feedback of rough cuts

This feedback sheet shows that we have met most of the criteria to a satisfactory standard. They feel that we have produce very steady shots but we need to increase the binary opposites in our video. We will do this by increasing the amount of narrative in our video so that we can continue our use of binary opposites. 

This feedback shows that we have performed strongly in a majority of the criteria including variety of shot types used, variety of angles used and inclusion of binary opposites. But we didn't perform as highly in our use of a variety of shot movement, framing and semiotics. We will improve in these areas by using more camera movement during the performance sections of our video, taking more time to check the framing of each shot and think about how to include more semiotics. 

This feedback shows that we have performed well in some criteria; steady shots, variety of shot angles and framing, But we have not performed as well in the other criteria including variety of shot type and variety of shot movements. We can improve these scores by, like above, increasing shot variety and movement.

This feedback shows we have performed well in the top 4 criteria, including shot type and movement. But we need to improve the framing in our shots, semiotics and binary opposites. We can do this by, like above, taking time to checking the framing of our shots, including more semiotics and binary opposites.

 This feedback shows that we have performed well in all of the criteria and very well in one criteria- our variety of shots. This shows that so far we have created a varied and interesting video.

This feedback shows that we have performed well in a majority of the criteria including steady shots, shot variety and framing. But there is room for improvement in the shot movement, we can do this by using more movement. We also need to improve on our use of semiotics and binary opposites, we can do more research and planning into these criteria to find inspiration.

This research shows that we have performed well in a majority of the criteria but we need to improve our use of shot variety and angles. We can do this by using creative shot types and angles to make the video more interesting. At the top of the sheet we have received a comment saying that we need to move the objects that were behind the dark curtain which in behind our band during our performance sections. We can rectify this when we re-shoot this footage.

This feedback shows that we have performed well in two criteria, steady shots and framing. But we need to improve on the other criteria including variety of shot type and shot movement. We can do this by trying out different and interesting shot types and movements. 

This feedback shows that we have performed well well with our variety of shot type and angles.
We could do work to improve the shot steadiness by increasing our use of the tripod. We have   performed less well in the other criteria including shot movements and framing. We can improve in these criteria by increasing our use of movement but ensuring that the shot is steady and we should take time to check the framing of each shot. 

This feedback shows that we performed well in just over half of the criteria including shot angles and movement. But we need to improve our framing, semiotics and binary opposites. We can do this by checking the framing of each shot, increasing semiotics used and adding more binary opposites.

This group feedback board shows that our peers felt that we used a good variety of shots, had good content, had a good balance between narrative and performance and high quality editing technique.



This group feedback shows what our peers feel needs to be improved. They felt that we needed more footage that's linked by a running theme, more binary opposites needed, develop narrative further, speed up some narrative shots, move boxes from behind curtain in performance shots (framing) and use more close ups.

Pitch: Analysis and Feedback

This first feedback form shows that we have met our peer's expectations fully on our choice of song, our ideas for mise-en-scene and also our choice of record label. 

It shows that we may need to increase our research into and analysis of our target audience; this could be done through research into our target audience's expectations of the Indie Rock genre.

It also shows that we need to spend more time analysing the lyrics of our song (Across the Skyline) and develop more detailed and specific ideas for the narrative of our music video. 

Lastly it shows that we need to add more detail to our editing ideas; we need to include more detail

on the transitions and visual effects that we may use. 

This second feedback form shows that we have met a majority of our peer's expectations fully on all but one of the categories.

It also shows that we need to spend more time developing our narrative ideas.

This third feedback form shows that we have met our peer's expectations fully on our choice of song and we have met their exceptions almost fully in most of the other categories (similarly to the first form, we need to add detail to these categories). 

It shows that we need a lot more work on our narrative ideas; we will need to look at our lyrics, the codes and conventions of the Indie Rock genre and our audience's expectations in order to develop detailed narrative ideas.  

The key feedback we have taken from this peer evaluation is that we definitely need to work on our narrative ideas and we may need to add some more detail to other areas including target audience and editing. 

Audience expectations of the Indie-Rock genre

We have asked three of our peers what they would expect to find in an Indie-Rock music video, this is their feedback:

This feedback is useful because it has shown us what our audience will expect form our Indie-Rock music video. We have taken on board the feedback and will implement it in various parts of our video. For example we will make sure our band are wearing appropriate clothes and accessories for the genre- dark, plain, no branded clothes. We will also try to make the setting for our narrative as realistic as possible, to highlight the serial aspects of it, by filming groups of people who are acting naturally.
