What have you learnt from your Audience Feedback?
In order to gain feedback, I showed my media class and peers my rough-cut. By gaining this feedback i am able to improve my video based on what the viewer/audience sees. One of the biggest challenges was my video was created using Adobe Premier Elements 10 Trail. By doing using the trial version, this caused my video to have a distinct, irremovable banner across it. After I saw this, I was hoping that once I transferred it over to Adobe Premier Pro (no trial) on the school computers, that this banner would be removed. This unfortunately, did not work, causing me to re - create the video using the original footage I filmed for the bannered video. After spending after school hours creating the new video, I managed to finish the video to a better standard.Below are the Before and After pictures of the video:

As well as the banner, I encountered other problems when making the film: There were a few clips where it was difficult to see the movement of the artists mouth, reducing the lip sinking integrity.
At this point i seeked help from my teacher and peers, they advised to recreate the video also. This did not trouble me because this enabled the banner to be wiped from my video.
After recreating the video, not only was the banner gone which allows for better viewing but I also experimented with the timeline, taking milliseconds out of the clips which had bad lip syncing, this improved this set back substantially, allowing better visibility. Nonetheless, there were some clips where this technique did not work, forcing me to leave them, this unfortunately left my video to be slightly out of time in some parts.
If I was to create new clips or re-create the video again, I would play music in all my clips and make sure my artist new all the words. This lack of knowledge on lyrics was caused by a sudden change of actor during my filming. Although my original actor was a big fan of Mac Miller and hence knew all the lyrics, it was difficult to arrange times to film. Therefore, when it was the filming phase of the project, my progress lacked. This is when I asked another friend (also a fan of Mac Miller) to act as artist. However, when looking at my final rough-cut and final video, the difference between the two in terms in lip syncing has clearly improved as well as a better standard of editing.

In the feedback given for my Rough Cut, it was advised that the last clip of the video to be removed due to its immature vibe, i took this recommendation into account and decided to replace this with a picture of the album cover, i thought this to be appropriate because part of the project is to advertise the album also. By doing this, it offers a cheap way of advertising and tells the audience to purchase this album. When looking at this new addition, I think it to be better than the original clips because it opens up the promotion/formal side of éSK. I have
already used the idea of having two friends toward the end of the music video where no singing is present.
