Last class, Dean had a discussion with my teacher about what we have for the music video so far. After reviewing, she pointed out stylistic film elements in our video such as intro/outro credits, like a film or movie would have. But we've been tasked to make a music video, not a movie. She said we could keep those elements in there, but we'd have to explain why we chose to stray from typical music video conventions.
She told us that she thought the video was very aesthetically put together, and that she was impressed by what we have so far. She said that our set ended up working perfectly with the band's look, and suggested that we switch out the shot we have for the intro with literally anything else. According to her, the rest of our shots are so interesting and dynamic that the first shot we have is boring. I don't recall her saying so, but Dean said that she "hated" it because it's so poor in contrast to our other shots.
I'm glad that Dean asked to review the video with Stoklosa. It's always refreshing, albiet scary to get her advice, as she knows Cambridge and what they'd like. She's truly wise beyond her years, so getting praise and criticism alike feels great. It gave Dean and I a lot to work with as well as a renewed confidence moving forward.
