Focus Group-James Donovan

We shown some content involving our music group to a small group of people. We shown our inspiration for our music video, research on our chosen song and a storyboard of our music video.


Here is a summary of the feedback we received from what we shown:

One thing someone said about our Storyboard was that we had a good idea of some of the shots we wanted to create and that we had a strong thought about what we wanted to create going into this project. They also said that once we knew how to edit these shots, the way we wanted them, we could create a visually appealing and inspired music video easily. However one said that the storyboard could use improvement as there was not enough of it.

We were told that our research into the song, The Man Who Sold The World, and its lyrics were decent. We took heavy inspiration from the abstract from the abstract style of David Bowie and payed attention to the lyrics of the video since some of our shots follow what the lyrics say. For example on the lyric "You're face to face with the man who sold the world" we had a two shot of our actors staring at each other, face to face.

Involving the inspiration for our music video we were told that the videos we chose were good examples for the abstract style of our video.

From our inspiration from Kanye West we were told that the use of animation and editing was an interesting choice for our video.

From our inspiration from David Bowie we were told that the dream like and abstract narrative style would be a good way to draw in our audience.
