Music Video Feedback

I have uploaded the finished music Video to YouTube.com to get some audience feedback.

From posting my video onto YouTube, this was the feedback I got. The feedback states the resemblances to Florence and the machine, which is a positive as that was my inspiration. It also mentions the shot types I have used, which is positive as I tried to vary this as much as possible.

Comments regarding the way in which it has been edited are also good, as I tried to edit the footage in time to the music as best as possible. The fact the feedback states the story is told well is also a positive.

Here are some other comments I received from my video. This comment contains quite a bit more criticism than the previous one, it comments on how the actresses in the video could have had a lot more guidance in their positions, and the white balance at times made the video look yellow/orange. However in the comment this negative was turned into a positive by saying this sis actually work. The characters lonely feeling worked well with this admittedly unintentional effect.

Final Music Video 'You've got the love'

This is my final Music video for Florence and the Machine. 'You've got the love.'

'You've got the Love' edit 1 Evaluation

I have exported the first edit of my Music video to a quick time movie, in order to evaluate its progress.

Edit 1:

I have also taken some screen shots from the video, the shots below are all ones which I intend on improving or changing for different reasons.

The reason I will be changing the above shot is due to the composition. There is clutter and object in the shots which shouldn't be. I can overcome this by cropping the shot, I will do this by enlarging it and then making sure I cut out the excess objects.

I have been able to get some outside opinions on my first edit, this was a shot that raised some concern. The walking shots the character does along the beach, according to my audience don't really add to the video, and made little sense. This means I need to make changes I order to ensure the video flows and makes sense. I will do this by taking some of the walking shots out of the video.

This final shot is too dark. I have tried to lighten it using the colour tool in final Cut pro. However I do need to keep this shot as it's needed in order to tell the story of where the character is going. This may have to be overcome by either re-shooting with better lighting, or changing this part o the story. I could have improved this when I was shooting by altering the white balance on the camera.
