PP - Rough Cut Feedback

We got feedback from our colleagues who are n the age bracket of out target audience to give us feedback on our first rough cut.

1. They thought that the colour used at the start of the video used in editing to create a coloured tint over the characters was too vibrant, and may be more effective if toned down and had more of a subtle effect.

2. The cat walk section for the older pussycat dolls had messy mise-en-scene, for example you can see a car parked in the back right hand side of the shot, and they suggested that this part should be reshot because of this. They also thought that for the catwalk section the older and younger PCD should be in the same location so that the transitions between them are smoother. Framing also needs to be improved on this section.

3. They liked the skatepark section and thought it worked well.

4. They also thought that the narrative didn't come across. As we explained the basic narrative before them watching it, they had some idea of what we were aiming for, however they thought that the older girls fame wasn't anchored enough and we should further reinforce it using mise-en-scene such as a limo and red carpet. We could also show paparazzi and and crowds.

5. They thought that the increased pace in editing as the video progressed also worked well. Also the childish connotations of the hairspray can work well and more of this should be included.

6.  They thought that the colour distinction between the girls should be more obvious and we should consider making the older girls more sexualised with what they are wearing. By increasing the male gaze we could do this by doing more close ups on heels and legs.

7. We should also consider humiliating a boy in the video. By doing this we are making us look more powerful and includes some humour. It also makes the girls look more desirable.
