When we got the feedback, we weren't expecting anything fantastic - shooting problems, insufficient planning and issues with scheduling stopped us from doing even a quarter of the final music video properly. Mr Ford pointed that out, and said that of we did have we needed to have more connection between the different members of the band - as is, the band members don't seem to acknowledge each other's presence, and so to fix this we plan to be including a moderate amount of shots where they notice each other, very much like the actual music video for the song. We've also been told that the performance shots were incredibly poor, which is fine, and so we plan to have the final video be nothing but performance.
The location of the shot is also being changed, as the E-Learning Centre is obviously out of place, especially with the things on the walls. We were going to use the main hall, but unfortunately the pantomime rehearsals have that booked solid until December (past the deadline), so instead we've opted to use the drama room, which is appropriate enough. A problem we'll come across there is the things on the walls to worry about, which hopefully I could try to edit out but probably won't be able to. It is possible that we could take those things down and replace them after the shoot, if the drama department let us.
Another problem that we seem to have with a band member in particular, Tom Cartwright, is that he seems to focus too much on the keys when playing to the point where he seems fairly robotic - to fix this, we've decided that he should probably be more relaxed in his shots. In addition, to that change, we'll also be including shots that show the instruments being set up (plugging them in, etcetera), and various other shots.
We're hoping that the final shoot goes a lot better this time, but due to scheduling problems - again - we're having to do it on the 22nd, just a few days before the deadline, giving us a very limited amount of time to be editing the video.
