This week our assignment was to show the rough cut of our Music Video
and see audiences reaction, whether they understand our storyline. One of the
people I have displayed Trouble In The West to was my friend Anna. Straight
from the first location (Foxes house) she understood where we were going with
our plot. She especially liked the scene where Mr. Fox rips off the advertising
paper with The Boss's face on it as it is so visual and goes well with music.
The next person I showed the video to was Alistair. Although he eventually
understood the plot, I had to explain to him the party scenes and that the
purpose for them was to represent artist's image and that it's crucial to do so
in music videos. He really liked the music we have chosen and also the idea of
using foxes as our main characters. He found it unique and quirky. The last
person from whom I got my feedback was my roommate Nathalia. She like Anna,
understood the whole plot line without my help. Her favorite scene was Mr. Fox
shooting The Boss. She also really liked the narrative saying that it's deep
and meaningful (just like I intended it to be).
In the end, this task was
really useful as now I have a clear idea what needs to change and what should
be kept the same. For example, all three people said that the running scenes
are a bit too long and boring so such critique is definitely something we need
to think about and change in the near future. Maybe if we cut the scenes
shorter and more to the beat, the reaction to that sequence will be
different.
