Exporting Draft #1

My first draft of my music video for Viva Brother's 'Still Here'. (45% complete)


When exporting the file from Final Cut Pro X, I used Compressor 4 to encode the video properly. I didn't want to simply use the 'upload to vimeo' tool, without compressing it properly. 

I opted for Vimeo as my hosting video site, because YouTube is often renowned for lowering the overall quality of videos. This is something I have come across in the past with my own band's music videos, when comparing a YouTube upload to a Vimeo one. 


I used the following video to learn how to use 'Compressor' correctly: 


(Obviously the video focuses on uploading video in 720p format, whereas I have uploaded mine in 1080p. Although I shot my video in 720p, because I used 50fps which were not possible to achieve  at 1080p on my camera, I decided on uploading the footage to a 1080p format anyway. I will compare uploading the footage in these two different ways in my next draft.)


This is the fast draft of my music video construction. This is currently 45% of the total song, but as part of my media studies I want to gather audience feedback at this point to get the opinions of not only media studies but people who are not associated with videography projects.  This is because both groups may pick up on different things, i.e. my hypothesis is that a media student will tend to watch the video analysing it more than perhaps somebody who isn't associated with videography projects.
