My personal Evaluation

Overall I am very pleased with our final music video. However, as I work in a group there are of course conflicting opinions on what each member believes looks good.

Some things that I didn't like about the music video include how the story slightly changed. I feel that the overall editing did not have an even enough balance between the
visual shots and the storyline;and so the storyline was slightly lost and became confusing. As well as that the order that some of the shots were placed in did not make sense in relation to the storyline; such as the audition room shot being in the second verse despite that scene being over. 

Some of the visuals were used too frequently and did not really fit in. This includes the fire effect in the beginning and the repeated actions such as the hair flipping; which I feel were unnecessary and distracted from the storyline. 

Below is my original guideline to the music video's storyline.

It would be shot like a vlog type video, documenting the artist as they moved around. 
The storyline follows an ambitious young person who holds auditions for a band, however as they sing into the first verse it becomes apparent that no one will show up. 
This will be shown through the acting and several filler shots such as acts of boredom such as lying the desk and tapping fingers.
 Once it is clear that the audition has failed that artist moves onto the band room where they decide to become a one man band and so proceeds to try and learn to play several instruments. However, this doesn't go well. This will be shown through either split screens or boxes as we cut between shots of the artist outside trying to promote themselves to the public but being rejected. Despite the setbacks the artist doesn't give up and finds themselves getting better at playing instruments. We then see them slowly being accepted by the public and gaining popularity. The video would then end with the artist
showing that they made it as the video transitions to a photo-shoot showing that they made it. Alternately, instead of showing the artist gaining ultimate popularity we can show that the artist has started their career and it is slowly and successfully growing; which could be done through them busking them in public and having a crowd gather.
