3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

This is the feedback we received from our class as a whole after previewing it on a big screen:

Good use of lighting, good use of smoke machine - consistent with genre.
Authentic performances, good lip syncing, in time. 
Silhouette shot worked well, good fading effects.
Good timing, editing on the beat. 
Low angle makes artist look dominant.
Looks like a high budget - beats product placement effective.
Captured the essence of the genre.


We will film Noah interviewing different people around college such as students and teachers then put this onto our blog. These are the interview questions:

Music video

1) What is the most effective part of our music video?

2) What are two strengths of our video?

3) What is the least effective part in our video?

4) How would you rate our music video out of 10? 


Ancillary task

1) Do you think our digipak and magazine advert are in-keeping with the genre of the music video?

2) What could we have improved on in our magazine advert?

3) What could we have improved on in our digipak?

4) What is a strength of the magazine advert and the digipak?





4. How did you use new media technologies in the constructions and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Arranging feedback

Today we are filming responses for our music video and auxiliary tasks which is the magazine advert and Digipak.The filming is going to be conducted in Long Road College and we have 4 questions for the music video and 4 for the auxiliary tasks. The form of feedback will be an interview. The reason why we filmed the candidates speaking rather than placing subtitles over the music video is because it is more effective as it shows different forms of feedback and to capture the facial emotions and reactions of the candidates.


As a group we individually interviewed 7 people with a camera on a tripod to give stability. We are now cutting down the clips in Premiere Pro. To create continuity we merged the answers to the questions together.

Evaluation Questions

Q1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Task: Select 10 stills/ images from your Music Video and the 2 ancillary tasks. Annotate each one of them in Photoshop or Powerpoint to indicate which conventions you have used at which point. 

 Q2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Task: Create a Prezi which makes clear links between your 3 products.

 Q3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Task: Create a director’s commentary which includes clips from the music video and ancillary tasks, as well as vox-pop presentations of audience feedback. 

 Q4: How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Task: Create a video presentation which discusses the technologies you used at each stage of the project. This video needs to be different from the Director’s commentary in terms of its presentation and content ie. Presented as a ‘How to use…’/ Teaching (in character?) style of video that could then be used as a future teaching aid. 

Updated Magazine Advert

Changes made:

- Image has been changed. Edited to look like an illustration. Stands out more than previous advert.

- Comments have been changed. Now specifies exactly who said what.

- 'Due to be released' changed to 'Coming Soon'.

- 'Pre- order on iTunes' icon has been added. 

- Album cover appears larger than before. 

Changes not made:

- No room to add #immortal. Although this could still be added.

- Text at top of page has not been changed.

Magazine advert changes

This is our magazine advert so far, we would like to change the artist's image in this by adding an effect such as transparency. This would reflect the sophistication in our music video therefore enhancing the overall effect of the advert. We will also change the quotes by giving a specific person - Zane Lowe, Radio 1. We will reference iTunes to remind people that it can be purchased digitally and we will make the album preview larger. We will also use a hashtag to reference Twitter, as this is a popular networking site used by our target audience. Instead of 'Due to be released' we will change it to 'Out'. Instead of the date we will put 'Coming Soon'. 'Best Seller'. 

• Instead of 'due to be released 14.2.14' have coming soon.
• Have the explicit album cover on there instead
• "Smart, slick and sexy" - Alexis Petridis, Guardian
• "Album of the year... a masterpiece" Zane Lowe Radio 1
• add #Immortal to it
• Say "available to pre-order on iTunes" under the coming soon and have the iTunes icon next to it
•
