Feedback from the audience

After completing my music video and taking suggestions from my teachers, I posted my music video on social media like facebook and also shared my music video on youtube for which i had to make my channel first.

When I posted my video on Facebook and Youtube, I shared it publicly which will allow anyone in the world to watch my video and send there feedbacks to me. Publicly sharing the video also allowed my video to get more views on FB and Youtube which shared the video more than before.

As seen below my video is publicly shared on FB and Youtube which gave me a good feedback as there are 110 likes and 11 comments on the post on Facebook which is increasing day by day and.....

upto 350 views and 6 likes on Youtube's post which is also increasing day by day.

Changes with the final video

I have decided to make few changes after suggestions from my media studies teacher.

Where I am removing the beginning clip from my music video as the clip in the beginning is not very relevant to the video and make the video longer for not a strong reason.

I had put the clip in the beginning in the first place because I wanted to give the storyline a momentum from the beginning but the plan did not turn out to have a great impact on the storyline of the music video. As a result as my teachers suggested, I removed the clip from my video.

These are few screenshots while removing the clip from the music video....

Final music video

I am sharing my final music video for my A2 media studies coursework...
I hope you enjoy it.

Directing the actor into the music

Flares story ...

This gentle piano-based tune started off as love song. However, after Danny O'Donoghue's mother suffered a brain aneurysm as the band began recording, it took on new meaning for the frontman. "It's about faith - 'did you see the flares in the sky, were you blinded by the light…' And I did, yeah," admitted the otherwise sceptical vocalist. "The situation changed and it was a f---ing miracle."

O'Donoghue added that the track is a "very uplifting song, about people getting past adversity. And when you're told by more than one doctor that your mum won't make it through the night… Well, the only person who changed that - challenged that - was my mum. And she fought her way through to where she is now."

Planning according to the story ...

As this song is a very sad content. Me and my actor have discussed about the story to get the emotion out while filming this as e=the face expressions are very crucial for acting which would come after the knowledge of the music video and the story behind.

As a result we were successful in getting the emotions out from my actor which allowed me to edit the music video in a sad way with the flow and the emotion of the song.

Pictures

These are few pictures from the clips where the expressions of my actor is sad.
