Rough Cut feedback

I asked Alex, a class member, to watch the rough cut of my Thriller and give me feedback. I asked a class member to give me feedback rather than a random person because Alex is also making a thriller opening and so therefore knows the conventions needed in one. Alex know what to look for in a thriller opening and so I knew I could rely on him for valuable constructive criticism.

From Alex's feedback, I am confident that the narrative of my Thriller is quite clear. This is good as it is one of the most important things in my music video in terms of the audience understanding what it happening so as much tension as possible can be created. My class mate also mentioned that he liked the camera work we had used, especially the "zooming in and out". We used this shot to create the sense that someone was watching the girl and filming her with a camera. However, Alex said that more tension could be created by adding incidental music. This is when music is played to enhance as particular part of a scene of the atmosphere. Tension is one of the key things in my thriller opening to build suspense as it does not have any words in it. Therefore, to get an impactful incidental music, I am going to look on places like Youtube for anything that might create an eerie effect. Furthermore, I am going to use garageband to try to create some of my own music. By using garageband, I will be able to create certain tones through the music that I want to come across.
