Journal Entry:

Earlier on this week we had feedback from our teacher and since then we have made changes to our video, we have included a montage of photos near the end to keep the pace up, however we now need to pick up the pace at the beginning. We have also at the beginning included the song title and the artist name.

Today we have had feedback from the class, and we are very pleased with what we have heard. They all liked the montage of the photos as the pace is picked up and we have also cut shots to make them shorter and so they don't drag on as much. We decided to change some shots around and mix them up a little bit because we had shots that went better with the music and the beat. There are still some shots we are unsure of because they look out of place. Through out the process we have had one clip of cars that we sped up that was out side my house, we couldn't decide if we should or not keep it and today we found a place to put it, instead of having a montage of photos we swapped them with the footage of the cars, this yet again helps us with the pace of the video.

We was also told today that in the first chorus we didn't have anyone singing the first line and that we only had me singing the back up which we have now changed. I am also very pleased we have finally replaced the shot of us all on the bench with the guitar as I felt that shot wasn't needed.
Our deadline is coming up soon so we are going to be working on getting the final touches ready. I am very pleased with the feedback along the way and that everyone agrees we have come a long way and made a lot of improvements since our last showing!
