Focus Group Feedback:

Phoebe: "I think the girls have made this video look really cool and as its first draft there are obviously corrections which need to be made and the shots are all quite jumpy but you can see the concept is coming together."

James: "You can tell it is still only a draft as there is a lot of refining to be done. None the less I think the sequencing is cool and works. The lighting also works well and I like the fact they've gone off path from their plans."

Alex: "This is completely different to the storyboard but it works. It is obvious the girls ran into a few problems and have solved them well. I like that they have new ideas in there and I think it is coming together nicely and will look even better with refinement."

Scarlett: "It's a promising first draft. The audio goes with the visuals and you can see that links are trying to be made. As the work progresses hopefully you will be able to see them more clearly and hopefully the jump cuts will be fixed."

Ben: "Phoebe looks awesome as the actress in this music video and I think that the instruction from the group during filming has really payed off because it has resulted in a strong product. There is more work to be done which is quite clear but none the less it looks awesome so far!"

Personal Reflection:

"For a first draft and considering we were thrown into the deep end with a new editing software, I think it turner out quite well. There is a lot of refining to do but I think it is on the right track. When we first started editing we faced a lot of problems and had to recreate a plan as we had to flip our storyboard to avoid continuity issues. We need to fix a couple of visual parts so that they sync with the audio and we can make the lyric-visual connection. However, I am very pleased with the direction in which our music video is taking."
