Feedback on Final Cut

Feedback from Group 44

> We're guessing it was a rock genre and it worked very well. You had performance shots with a bass and a guitar with drums and of course vocalist. The shots you used worked well.

> You have done a lot more work on your lyrics and visuals and it has paid off. Close ups of JJ singing the lyrics works well.

> Music and visuals such as the cuttings are very well done.

> The demands of the record label are met. This is through the use of close ups of the artist and performance shots.

> The notion of looking gave an impression of looking into their lives.

> Intertextual reference to some ideas like the box idea.

Feedback from Group 45

> We really like this video because it kept us entertained and we wanted to watch to see what happened next. A lot of the shots were really funny, we especially liked the one of all of the band coming out of the box because the editing is so good that it makes the viewer believe that you are all coming out of the same box.

> The video fits in really well with the genre characteristics. The genre of the song is rock and we see a lot of stage performance along with narrative. The narrative is effective because it shows the band all having fun and messing around.

> There is not much link between the lyrics and visuals however there is a strong relationship between the music and visuals

> Overall the video is very effective and we can see a lot of hard work has gone into producing it.

Feedback from Group 47

> Genre conventions: Follows the characteristics of rock music video as it has a stage performance and is like a documentary of them on the road

> Also had dance routines which is in lots of existing music videos.

> Lyrics & Visuals: No obvious relation to what the lyrics were saying to what they were doing on screen.

> Lip Syncing was good and consistent throughout.

> Music & Visuals: Band use instruments that are relevant to the genre & song (Drums, Guitar & Bass guitar).

> Demands of the record label: Lots of close ups of the artist & Band. Majority of video had band in.

> Voyeurism: Not a lot of voyeurism as it was noticeable that they were all aware of the camera, even the extras being filmed.

> Intertextual reference: No real reference to other music videos, films or TV programs.
