Evaluation for rough cut

The variety of shot angles within the rough cut is really good and effective as it makes it more appealing to watch. The black and white effect also helps emphasize the clarity of the genre and the mood of the song which portrays a more despairing image.

Due to the lack of on time filming and planning we have had a big gap in the video as we have struggled a little with the story board which also resulted to the duration of the last few shots to be longer than expected. we have overcome this by doing some extra filming and getting some more locations to fit in with the lyrics.

The plan in the beginning was to have parts of the video in black and white and part of it in colour to separate the storyline from the band playing but we found that the black and white effect is more effective throughout the whole video rather than parts of it which made it a little confusing for the audience.

The beginning of the video was thought to be too long and not appealing enough meaning something more engaging with the audience needs to also be added.
Ben moving the button upwards in the music room gives a more realistic look to the video as it shows him having control over the music because the volume slowly increases as the button is moved upwards.
