VIRAL: Competition Results

We invited people from different age groups to come and film for the challenge. We then picked the best and decided to make an 'announcement'. These are the top five entries.

PODCAST 9: Rough Cut Updates

...

...

• We have a full performance cut
• Full rough cut is based on this with a few changes
• Still need to make more changes 
• Competition
• audience responses still need to be filmed

Rough Cut things to improve:

1.  Some slo-mo!
2.  Would've been better to have girl's hair tied back to show emoting
3.  Lot of shakey shots; lot of out of focus - target oof especially with layering
4.  Is there scope for BRIEF diegetic intro and/or intro?
5.  Lot of takes need brief trimming to reduce elements that diminish verisimilitude
6.  Every 'drop' needs careful consideration
7.  Fair bit of vocals not quite synced
8.  SS' perf + costume is a strength
9.  Play around with possible colouring/FX to make narrative distinctive too.
10.  Good eg of where you might layer: 017 has lot of open space, so maybe some of that graveyard scene
11.  023 good eg of framing that works well for non-greenscreened layer
12.  032 good eg of take needing slight trimming (from end)
13.  the 3 'coverage' takes around 042, last works well, prev 2 are random, and don't (think about  hand scraping over wall mural / grafittied wall etc
14.  stairs/bedroom - see my comments on prev cut; same issues
15.  this includes ONE jump cut; usually makes more sense to have 2/3 in one sequence
16.  058 an eg of not really paying full attention to the drop
17.  always be clear why you're using a take; 114 is just too random
18.  118 a big audio spike (duplicating audio layer?)
19.  122 watch out for takes that are too short; this also needs shot variety, eg CU of the eating
20.  125 look for opportunities to illustrate (Goodwin) lyrics, eg intoxicate me

• Re-shoots:
• Performance
• Burnt down building 
• Solo performance 
• Need more variety, especially at the end were car park is too much 
• Some lyrics bit out of sync, need to be reshot 
• Narrative
• Add in lead singer at the end
• changes of costume
• change argument scene with more close ups and slow mo slaps
• change whole funeral scene adding in lead singer

Tik Tok is a new social media which comes from the previous popular musical.ly app for IOS and Android. It is extremely popular amongst a younger audience of 9 -15 and still fairly used in the ages of 15 - 24. This can help with appealing to a younger audience and get more recognition for a younger secondary audience.
