When pitching our basic idea to the class we wanted as much feedback as we could we could alter or manage our idea's so that it was as good as it could be and manageable in the time we had.
Initially one thing that did seem to be a potential pitfall was the time constraints put on our slightly ambitious idea.
"You have set yourselves a lot of work to do but it is achievable if the right planning and preparation is made."
"I would think about cutting down the amount of scenes you have as you have a lot to do!"
This made us really think about how we were going to set up each scene, how long each one was going to last, and how many different scenes we were going to do. Later while filming we set up production plans so that we could be as efficient as possible with he time we had. Here is an example of one of them, http://thestentor.blogspot.com/2010/11/251110-production-planning-and-schedule.html.
After producing a rough cut of our music video we showed it to our class as well as other classes to gain a wider scope of feedback and ways to improve. People said that it was difficult to understand the idea of changing television channels and that it did not flow as well as it could. We responded to this by adding a crackle effect between scene changes, which added to it aesthetically as well as making the changes more distinguishable. It also helped people understand what the video was trying to achieve as before it wasn't entirely clear. We also added a short "opening" to the video, of a young boy pointing a remote at the camera so that it was instantly obvious what the concept of the video was.
