Audience feedback for the first cut of the 'Chances' music video from Lane Taylor on Vimeo.
The main improvements suggested were:
- There isn't enough happening, and so it may be in need of a narrative.
- Using a black and white filter could make it more aesthetically pleasing, and more interesting to watch.
- The shots that followed Toby on the stage were more interesting to watch than the static studio shots, and so I could edit some movement into some of the shots (panning and zooming etc.) using Final Cut.
- Making the studio shots black and white could create a new narrative, as it insinuates that this is set before the stage shots, and so it's showing how Toby is progressing in his musical theatre career.
- Following this narrative idea, I could take rehearsal footage when I'm not needed on stage for We Will Rock You rehearsals; this would include natural shots of him on stage, and casually interacting with other performers and the director etc.
