negative
- the female doesn't look very into it
- lip syncing needs some improving
-  need to cut between different footage as the sections are to long (no it's not each shot is between 2-7 seconds maximum ...)
- maybe sync kanye's vocals better
- lip syncing could be improved
- lip-syncing is a bit out of sync
- opening could be more effective with colour editing
- lip syncing is a bit out of sync
- maybe more variety on the adele part?
- maybe improve adeles lip syncing and outfit
- lip syncing could be improved
- a bit repetitive
- unwanted things in the background .. dogs?
- the start is a bit slow compared to the rapper - possibly lighten her lip syncing and movement
- lip synching by the guy is not quite in time
- could put some colour filters in the graveyard bit?
- might look a little better if adeles character showed a little more emotion.
- costumes aren't very good
- simons lip syncing could be improved


Most of the people that viewed our rough cut thought that our lip syncing wasn't up to standards. We partly agree with this but we can't do much to fix it as we cannot re-film all the lip-syncing bits again. We will try and tweak some of the lip syncing bits by using time effects to make the scenes sync better. Another part of our music video that people didn't like was the opening scene with Stacey (Adele). Her acting wasnt up to scratch and one group wrote that she should "show a little more emotion". We think she did fine because the song is a sad song and she is in a graveyard. Others suggested that we should add some color filters to this scene as it is quite plain. We like this suggestion and we are planning to add some black and white colour filters to this beginning sequence to make the visuals go with the mood of the song.
There are some unwanted things in the background for example dogs. We couldn't do much about this as there were dogs everywhere and it was getting dark.
