Dancer

Whilst editing our music video we gained some feedback that our video was very orientated around our artist. Although we want our artist to be the main focus of the video, we also want a variety of shots so that our audience do not become disengaged. As well as this, quite often professional music videos tend to feature more than one person. As a result of this feedback we have decided to add a dancer into our video. I think that this is a great way of keeping the audience interested as it changes the atmosphere and tone of the song, which draws the audience into something different.

The print screens above display what our dancer looks like, his style and the location of the shots. Before filming our dancer we had to think of another location as we didn't want him to feature in a similar one to our artist as we wanted to keep the video exciting and tried not to be too repetitive.  Therefore we decided to use a brick wall. This location is very simple, however I think that it gives the desired effect. We didn't want the background of these shots to be too complex as it might draw away attention from the dancer himself.  Although, I think the wall is not too dull. 

Furthermore, I think that it is useful that the dancer is a male as this means we have both genders included in our video. This hopefully means we will be able to branch out to a larger target audience and interest both young males and females.  Males watching the music video could potentially be inspired by the young dancer and his talent.  As a result of this they may want to watch the video more than once or they could show their peers. 

Next, since we have begun editing this shots and placing them in the sequence where want them to feature. I am pleased with the overall look. As a result of this I am very glad that we listened to the constructive feedback that was given to us as it meant we was able to change the variety within in our music video and hopefully enhance its overall visual look.  I think that if we decided to ignore the feedback given to us and carried on with the artist throughout the whole video, it could've become boring and quite repetitive for our audience to watch. This means that they might not of even watched the whole video or are unlikely to want to watch it again. 

In order to improve our filming further I think it is important that we add a visual effect to the shots of the dancer. As well as this, we could adjust the lighting and contrast to make the dancer and the brick wall stand out, otherwise it could end up looking quite bland and that is not the effect that we want these shots to have.
