Having reviewed my footage, I have decided to condense the dream sequence down into one drop, as opposed to having multiple with different content; this therefore makes the singular dream start as a happy, pleasurable one, and end up turning into a nightmare.
It still explores ecstasy vs. fear, just no longer are they separate.
I have also been advised by my teacher to take out the drug use, as they believe that keeping it ambiguous will avoid clichés and leave it open to interpretation. I, in a way, agree - granted it makes it more open, and potentially something to discuss. Having explained my original concept and showing it to other people, the feedback I have got is that the lack of explicit references to drug use make it confusing.
I will try getting more feedback from people who do not know the original concept of the video, and see what their interpretations are, and whether I need to clarify.
Always a good idea to get feedback, but do note down comments and evaluate by gender. Often feedback from males is different from that of females.
ReplyDeleteI can give you some questionnaires, but feedback can be filed under G324 Research into target audience.
