Peer Feedback =)

Here are some of the comments we got from the rest of our peers,

1. Cinematography -> Good variations of shots, the camera movement was excellent (especially at the beginning), and the camera work was very good. They did say that we could of expanded on certain themes such as toy soldiers + reduced on the other themes (novelty of the lion wore off).

2. Editing -> The transitions at the start were brilliant, the pace kept up with the speed of the song, a lot of people agreed that the i motion worked well and it was very good editing. The lip syncing does need a lot of work.

3. Mise en scene -> Army soldiers are good, but a bit random. Put a lot of thought into location and costumes, they really liked the bed in the field, interesting idea. "loves the costume, looks good especially in normal everyday life, makes it funny." Some people commented and said that we could add some more costumes into the video to make the viewers interested.

4. Genre Convention -> It stuck to conventions "cheeky indie'. They liked the relationship between visuals and lyrics it makes it very interesting.

5. Whats Missing? -> Most people said that we needed to add in more angles of shots, and variation of shots. Another person suggested that we could try and put the lion running away from army men.

Comments from Tanya:

1. Well formed. Needs more close ups of the main character. Some lip syncing is rather dark.

2. Make it really clear why and how the young man becomes a lion. Will there be more lip syncing?

3. Costume works well, and location.

4. I would expect more of a performance, so you could shoot an 'interior' performance and parallel edit it in.

5. Close ups
Performance
Edit throughout


After receiving feedback from both our classmates and Tanya we've decided to go out and re film some of our footage. We think that the majority of our feedback was very positive and the other comments have definitely been helpful to help us see where we need to improve in order to make our work as good as we possibly can. We were debating between us on whether to remove our stop motion part, but after receiving feedback we have decided to keep it as the comments towards it were very positive.
