Final Cut Feedback

Positve

  • Shots of the businessman walking were good.
  • Some of the shots were quite well done, like the shot of the lorry obscuring the view of the businessman.
  • Quick editing added to the effect and mirrored the fast pace of the song.
  • The narrative was clear "About a man leaving his old life behind".
  • Good dissolve over the hooded man to the businessman.
  • Blurry effect was good (on escalator and at the end) - gave the impression that it wasn't all real.
  • Good shot going up the escalator - can't see the face of hooded man at the bottom.
  • Good blurry shot at end disguises the identity.
  • Not meant to be taken literally - like 'Lost Highway' (1997, Lynch) where the main character creates an alter ego that relives his past. Talks to himself in the speaker phone.
  • Very much telling a story, similar to other videos of the same music genre.
Constructive

  • The colours of the mise en scene were limited.
  • Probably too many shots of walking, there could have been more of a variety of themes.
  • Didn't understand the narrative - a few continuity errors.

Neither

  • Unfortunate about the overcast weather conditions, as this changed the videos atmosphere to a dull one, which is presumably an unintentional impression.
