Update

Having posted the rough cut of the my music video on my blog on Thursday I have received much better reviews in comparison to my first video from my teacher and classmates. However I have also gained important advice on how to tweak the video:


 "I would suggest making the performance footage black and white, and keeping the slightly surreal tone of the "narrative" in the grading you've chosen. You might also want to consider cross-dissolves between shots, to link with the slide guitar sound."

This is advice I have received from my Media Practical teacher. I agree with the dissolves in order to improve the fluidity of the performance shots, but I will have to think very carefully before changing the video to black and white as I will struggle to achieve the grading necessary to show the clear difference between the flash backs and the present narrative.

In addition to this my classmates have recommended I remove the intro applause as does not work as I hoped, this is something I suspected and I am prepared to remove entirely instead of trying to improvise like on my current rough cut.
