Final Cut - Feedback From Class

1) Use Of Conventions

- Shows the band's ability with instruments
- It went well with the theme of the song
- Camerawork and editing both push convention
- General rock video, urban setting theme throughout
- Great setting background, use of camerawork and typical band-work
- Band Performance
- Fits well with Indie genre - has home-made feel in a positive way through, very indie videos have that sort of feel.

2) Presentation Of Artist/Performance

- Enthusiastic performance in band scenes
- The group seemed like a proper band which worked well with the genre
- Looked professional
- Very realistic performance, good facial expressions and body language - interesting

4) Use Of Camerawork/Editing/Mise-en-Scene

- Lots of different camera angles, well edited, mise-en-scene fits the genre
- Very good use of editing, effects and transitions
- Effective camera shots (close-ups, long shots, side shots, spinning shots), typical costume for rock video (black and white clothing)
- Split-screen works well, different camera angles and constant short changes to keep us engaged
- Cutting between scenes is used very effectively, different effects, slow motion
- Great mise-en-scene setting and costume is perfect
