Group Treatment - Feedback

Today our group was able to present our treatment to one of our lecturers and our educator. Throughout this process we were given feedback on the concepts within our music video that might be difficult to realize and what parts of our music video we should alter to improve upon the overall idea. Our lecturer began by stating that because we are hoping to film at extraordinary levels of slow motion we should conduct research into what cameras would be capable of the task. Furthermore we have been told that only certain cameras are capable of shooting at such high frame rates, and that at least one of us should take the time to sign up for an educational course on using the camera we choose to rent. Subsequently our lecturer noted that our narrative is poor and that the way in which we would present it in our video could possibly look weak and amateur considering the equipment and actors we would have access to. It has been proposed that instead of displaying problems and bullying in the way we were planning to, that we instead screen said problems over the dancer using projections form a projector. On a different note our educator indicated that when preparing to chuck paint at our dancer we must make certain that said dancer is not allergic to the paint as well as that the paint is safe to use with humans. Once all of this has been said, both of our spectators were surprised that we would use the paint for only 1/3 of the video and have suggested that we somehow incorporate the paint into the rest of the video. The last issue that our lecturer had with our concept was that the dancing performance was to simplistic and that we should develop upon it in a way that incorporates more effects and actions as to not bore the audience. As for the rest of our treatment both our educator and lecturer were pleased with it and stated that with the right type of idea development and research we should be able to create a captivating music video as a group.
