Rough cut my thoughts

I think that the rough cut was good in many ways. Our cuts were on the beat which gave it a good flow with the music and made it very conventional. In our music video we used the starting chords to cut between shots of edgar on the couch. i think that this worked well it had a lot of cuts that a music video should have including close ups of our star which is one of Goodwins points about the demands of the record label. (pic of Edgar's face) We are not going to change this in our final cut.
However later on in the footage when the band is performing there is a lack of good cuts that a music video need to be visually interesting so we intend to add a new performance piece to allow us more cuts. This is important because at the moment we only have an acoustic guitar and the song involves a electric guitar this means that rather than being a serious performance it looks almost comical so to fix this we will involve this new performance that has a electric guitar this will be in the songs electric guitar solo.

Another issue that we may look into is the ending where edgar sits into the chair he began in another idea is to end with the end of the performance as the narrative ends when the performance becomes more important, the guitar solo lends itself to a more exiting and upbeat footage, the chair could look out of place. However it does link the end of the song and the start very well and makes the narrative last throughout the footage and cutting it could lead to it looking like two separate music video poorly spliced together. (chair)
We will look into using colour correction in the performance section of the video to make it look more distinctive from the narrative and also to make the guitar in the background look visually appealing with the lighting shining on the front.
All together i think that the rough cuts works well and with the new footage added on and with some tinkering of the footage and make it look smother and less rough. It will also involve more cuts more frequently.
