Feedback from the Band

The band watched the first rough cut i made the other day, and gave us some feedback. Basically, they said that if it is entirely performance based, we shouldn't cut from singer to different angle of singer, which i did accidentally as the different layers were on top of each other, so when i cut a bit out of one, it just showed the one beneath it, and i put the 2 of the singer on top of each other.

I also need to sync it up a bit more, some of the singing is slightly out, which i only noticed after watching the video a few times, and there is a bit of the drummer at the end which is totally out of sync. I also put in a lot of footage of the drummer, and should probably use something else.

They did like the speed of the video, they said it kept the pace up and worked for the song. They were also pleased we decided against the narrative because they said it would have slowed it down.

When i was first editing this, i really like the quick cuts at the start, but the more i watch it, the less i like it, because it just seems too quick and out of place. I prefer the slower cuts that start about halfway through. I also think it would be easier to use slower cuts because it means i can use the other footage at other points in the video. The music all sort of blurs into itself so there isn't really definitive tunes to try and sync to, which means i can put some bits of footage pretty much anywhere in the video
