Our Rough Cut - evaluation

As a rough cut our piece stands quite well so far, we have a coherent story line that we feel would make sense to our target audience and the strong stop animation shots we have put in give our rough cut lots of vitality. We also have some good shots of our band and people enjoy the jumpcuts we have put between the shots.
However, though we are proud of our piece thus far, I think we know that it does look a little amateur at this stage. This, I think is due to the 'cheesyness' that we purposely put into our video what with the painted-on pink hearts behind the band and the many references to 'love' throughout the kitchen shots. Though this was obviously our aim, I think it may have, to some degree, limited our video's potential.
Having said all of the above, I must point out the other effective features of our video; the stop animation that we have used works very well in the kitchen scenes. I edited one such animation, of the bacon, so that each piece of meat landed in the pan on each beat of the song which looks good. I am also very proud of the 'Oranges Sequence' I edited that adds an even cheekier twist to our video because of it's timing.
Overall we are proud of what we have so far but I understand that there is more to do in order to perfect our video.
