- Add some different angles- maybe side shot of the singer when sitting up in bed singing to break up the front facing mid shot
- Add in a shot of the skyline- to visualise the lyrical references to the 'town' they live in
- The transition between monochrome and full colour could perhaps be in a better defined place such as when the door opens to the front room
- Add a new location into the last chorus as this is a long section of the band playing and could be split up a bit as it gets a bit tedious and the new changed singer could be emphasised in other ways. Such as messing about, having a laugh with his mates in a pub garden for example
- End on a happier shot
Viewer 2:
- Excellent variety of shots
- More close-ups of playing/ vary the ones used as they are repeated
- Focus more on the other band members
- Some shots are too slow
- The change from monochrome to colour works well
- Good camera angles
- Lip syncing is good
- The drummer "wooo" (flipping and catching the drumsticks) may be slightly out of time
Viewer 3:
- Good close-up of alarm clock and sound to start
- lip syncing is good
- like the fast pan around the bedroom
- The lip syncing at 1:13 could be better
- I like the shots of the band walking across the shot during the instrumental
- The stop motion of the band members changing positions is good and quirky
- Perhaps have all band members singing during chorus
- Different close-ups of drums, guitar and bass needed as the same ones are used more than once
- Maybe include shots of a girl to link to the lyrics
- The closing shot needs to be more powerful
Viewer 4:
- Like the opening shots
- Really good use of unique transitions (camera pan)
- Everything is shot on shot to action, walks out of one frame and into another, well edited and it's in time with the music
- 1:00-1:20 this shot lasts too long and the actor isn't singing with 'passion' it would be good if there were different angles to break it up more
- 2:09 is very well edited
- Lip syncing is good
- Overall, the start of the video is chronological and the ending doesn't really follow the story on and the shots of the band are rather repetitive.
Viewer 5:
- Like the use of black and white filter, it matches the lyrics and storyline well
- Interesting transitions are nice
- 0:08-0:10 doesn't match to the tempo, and seems like the video is frozen
Viewer 6:
- Funny comedy element- shutting the bathroom door
- Like the black and white- makes it match the slightly sombre lyrics
- Close up shots on lead singer are good, shows the lyrics are from his perspective and he really means them
- Having the whole band together from the chorus is good- shows they are there for each other to pull through the bad times
- Cutting between shots is good and to the beat
- Like the zooms of the instruments, draws your attention to the other elements of the song like drums and bass line
- Not a good transition in the bed scene
- Don't like the zoom in on body- it doesn't fit
Viewer 7:
- Lip syncing is good
- 0:33-0:35 transition is a little jarring
- 1:26 the other band members lack emotion
- Colour footage looks more grainy
- Big solo, but a little strum
- Overall, quite professional
