External Feedback Reflection

We were able to get some external feedback on our rough cut video during the open evening. The person we talked to addressed the points of editing, camerawork, performance and general observations. This person got to see the new footage that we were going to put in and included a few comments on the new areas.
Editing
The person that we asked thought that overall, the editing of the rough cut was very good and well synced in time with the music. He did point out that one section of the rough cut was out of time but we were able to sort that out so that everything ran smoothly.
Camerwork
Like the peer feedback we recieved, the person that saw our rough cut on the open evening thought that the pan shots of the trees were a bit shaky. We decided that we would keep these shots in the video because we didn't have enough time to re-shoot and it would be difficult to keep the camera steady on the terrain that we were filming. Because this was only the rough cut, we hadn't been able to include all of our footage for the external viewer to see. Although this is the case, the person that watched our video said that there was not enough variation in the shots but the lighting in the video was good and the new footage that we shot helped by adding more camera angles to the video.
Performance
The feedback that we recieved for the performance was generally positive. This person said that the dance routine and acting was good overall, with it lip synced well although some areas of the dance routine were out of time slightly.
Other
There wasn't many other observations that the external peer brought up apart from the fact that, in the new footage, the people in the video can be seen walking towards a floodlight. After he brought this up, it was explained to him that it could be edited out or in such a way that you cannot notice it. His general impression was that the video was very good and the that the finished product would be good as well.
