 Class comments and feedback on video:

-Fill in blank gap, make sure that you get all the footage you need.
-Make a few more cuts.
-Fewer static shots.
-Lighting was really good/well thought out.
-Just fill in blank spaces and improve girls lip syncing.
-More camera movements and angles.
-Cut the kiss scene before the actors walk away.
-Fill blanks, otherwise best we've seen.
-Shots were really good, but some were a bit too long.

After recieving this feedback from the class it gave us more ideas and motivation to get a lot more shots filmed from different angles e.g. low angle and panning shots to ensure there is a variety of different shots in our video, we aim to make our shots less static and add some movement. We also decided to re-film the main shots were the female is lip syncing as we had a few negative comments about the effectiveness of the lip syncing, mainly on the girls part. We also wanted to add different locations.
