Narrative Feedback for our Raw Footage - #2

After asking my friend Kieran to watch our raw footage, I then asked my good friend Elle McNamara to watch. She responded to the video very positively at first:

However, she then asked me to explain the narrative as she found it hard to keep track of without the shots that have yet to be edited in yet:

Once I explained the narrative to Elle, she admitted that she got a totally different interpretation to the narrative than the other people that I asked for feedback:

I found this incredibly interesting, as whilst the majority of the other people that I spoke to about the narrative got the majority right with a few minor differences, Elle had interpreted a much darker narrative.

After this, I explained to Elle what the narrative was actually about and stated that maybe we could make a darker video with the footage, something that would be fun to do. Whilst Elle stated that she didn't get the narrative without certain shots, she still praised the video and music choice:

My conversation about the narrative of our video with Elle showed that how each person interprets the narrative is different, with Elle's interpretation contrasting heavily with Kieran's interpretation, but that once the other shots are edited in, it will be easier for Elle to interpret. However, Elle still complimented the cinematography, song choice, performances, direction and video itself, again making me confident we will have a high quality finished product.
