Responses.

From my video draft I have received many positive comments. The main focus of the comments is orientated towards the idea of the morph suits and how they create interest within the video. My target audience seem to be enthralled by the use of bright colours and unusual costume idea.

However, I have also received some constructive criticism. This is that a performance element would be very well received. Now that the idea of morph suits has been established within the video, my audience want to see something different, i.e. Performance. We already had this planned, and will be filmed on the 6th of February. However, from our animatic, it is evident that we were going to save the performance till the end of the video, however, from this feedback, I believe it will be more effective to tie the performance in early on to entertain the audience and stop the morph suit idea from being repetitive and causing our audience to get bored.

Skills.

From working with the material that has been filmed so far, my editing has seen improvements. This is the first time that I have worked on a project where the timing of the editing is so crucial. The cut shots have to be in time with the backing beat and so far I believe this has been achieved successfully. Also, after viewing the footage we achieved, I have learned from my mistakes and will be able to take these with me to the 2nd filming session. An example of this would be that the characters need to be still for longer so that we can get the desired effect with our stop motion.

Rough Draft.

Delays.

With a group member ill (Andrew Moss), filming has been delayed by a week. We will now have our 2nd filming session on the 2rd of February and our 3rd filming day on the 6th of February for it to be edited and complete by the 11th.

Video Update 1:

First day of filming is complete and all the shooting for our first location is over. One of our group members couldn't make it due to a last minute call from work. However, we still achieved everything we have set out to do. Editing is now taking place and we have our second filming day on Sunday containing our performance elements.
