'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.
