Group Feedback

The feedback we gained was when we explained our ideas to another group from our class so they gave us feedback on our work, which we did the same for them. Firstly, they liked the idea of using adults in our film because they felt that this would give us the best acting for our film. They also said that they liked the idea of the meaning we got from the colour desaturation as the video goes on as this shows the meaning of the film. They also liked the use of different narratives as they said that it was almost distorting the narratives as they crossed over each other. The audience relation was also a point that they picked up on because they felt that we had made it so that the narratives in the video could relate to the audience and possible aspects of their lives. This then links to the fact that we need to make sure that there is more emotion than just narrative because the emotion will be the aspect that will attract the audience and get them to enjoy the video more. However, they said that we shouldn’t make the narratives too emotional as it may seem as though everything is hopeless and extremely depressing, which is not the sort of emotion we want to give off. This leads to the fact that we need to make sure that we are sensitive to the issues that are raised in the video as they may offend or upset an audience member who has experienced this in real life and so we are making sure that our versions of the narratives are delicate and none offensive. Another thing they said was about the lyrics link to the video. We need to make sure that we aren’t too ‘cheesy’ with the lyrics link because it wouldn’t look very good if we took the lyrics to a ridiculous level and copy them exactly because this would make the video comical and pointless because these are not the emotions we want the audience to feel. The final point that they raised was the fact that we need to make sure that the shots, transitions and angles are varied because this will emphasise the emotion as the audience will see the problems from a number of different perspectives.
