From this feedback we have decided to do the following improvements:

·         Band Performance – The setting will be changed, the actors will be changed and a variety of shots will be used throughout the music video with them all being together.

·         Editing techniques – The shots will be fast and shorter as some of them were to long whilst performing, we will also add effects such as black and white, dissolve and jump shots.

·         Actors – The actors will be changed so it will create a more realistic effect.

·         More narrative – we will add more information about the story in the music video.

·         House scene – The scene where the clothes are outside the house will be changed and will have a messy look to it.

·         Costumes – There will be no hoodies and rain jackets in the music video that will create a student look, it will look as professional as possible.
