Email Feedback From Todd from Godfrey Entertainment

We needed feedback from someone else, for our music video. Alie had a good idea to email the chief editor of Godfrey Entertainment and send him the video to give feedback. Below is the email that he sent back to us, which included feedback from him. 

"Hi Alie,

Nice job on the music video. Your Dad said you were interested in 
feed back... There isn't a right way or a wrong way as I'm sure 
you've learned in
your classes as art is subjective.

Were you limited to shooting in studio? Not allowed to mix in random 
shots of your artist perhaps walking down a street?

I think you have to consider the type of song and that dictates the 
style of the video. You did that. Your cut matched the pace of the 
song. Creatively, you could have taken some of your shooting a 
little further, for example, shooting close ups of a shoe or even a 
shoe lace on the stool, ecu of the frets of the guitar, her eyes, 
etc. I think more of that would have been interesting. Textures 
(from filters during your edit) could have been also used to add some 
depth. Grainy black and white. Perhaps an over exposed or blown 
out look(hot). Maybe more rack focusing.

These aren't new ideas. There really aren't too many ways to 
innovate as everything has been done and done again. It depends on 
whether you're limited by budget, turn around time,
location, or class assignment.

It would be difficult to create for your many different angles, but I 
really liked the shadows on her face as the video was fading to 
black, about 4:03, where she was more back lit.

Keep up the good work!

Todd"
