EVALUATION QUESTION 3
What did you learn from your audience feedback?
Over the course of creating our music video we got audience feedback throughout, but mainly at different mile stones such as our DIGI pack and posters and the first draft of the video.
The feedback for our first draft of the video was mainly very positive and the audience could see we had taken care and time into creating the music video, the teacher even said is seems to be on its way to becoming perfect, however the constructive criticism we got was that we needed more varied shots of the band, so for example during the guitar solo you could see close ups or different shots of the guitarists, and just more varied camera angles to make the video more interesting. with being told this we made a booking house the drama room again and created more varied shots and angles of the band. we were also advised to add more shots of our narrative character 'Niamh' as she seemed to just 'drop out' towards the end of the video, this was clear and needed more work.
I then got feedback for my DIGI pack and poster, this was surprisingly positive and helpful. I was told that my idea to keep the outside very simple and typical, and the inside bright and colourful was very smart and created intrigue to the design and was very unique. and also the use of the bands logo was well used and created a brand for the band on the album and the poster.both were also said to be very complimentary towards each other with colour scheme and style and also still followed the rock genre. the constructive criticism I got was that on the poster I needed to specify where the album could be purchased and that the social media links needed to be large at the bottom so that the audience could see them. and on my DIGI pack to have the copyright statement at the bottom on the back made the album look more authentic and created a sense of an established publisher.
EVALUATION QUESTION 4
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
We used media technologies from the very beginning of this project to find inspiration, plan our music video and create our music video.
YouTube was our main source for finding inspiration for our music video. Once we had picked a genre we would watch music videos from that genre to gain some sort of idea of what we want to create. Doing this gave each of us an image on what we thought we could create so from there we brainstormed all of our ideas. Putting them together to construct a final idea that we would then create.
One the group members (Harry) would use Apple music (Media Technology) to listen to loads of music from that genre trying to find the song which we could create a music video for. This is how we found our chosen song 'Back to me' by 'Of Mice and Men'.
To Construct our music video the lead cinematographer (Tommy) used a Sony A6000 to film everything. To edit the video the lead editor (Max) used Adobe's Premier Pro which allowed us to create the desired effects of slow motion and colour correction.
Adobe Photoshop was used a lot during this project as we had to use it to create our Digi Pak and posters (Ancillary Texts). Photoshop allowed us to tamper with the colours along with brightness and contrast of our images to make sure they looked exactly how we wanted them to.
DaFont was the name of the website we used to find the font that we thought matched our genre of music video. We picked out 5-6 that we liked and thought worked and then gave out a questionnaire asking 'which of these fonts do you think best suits a rock genre music video.
Blogger was used throughout the entire process of this project to record all the progress we were making towards creating our final creative piece.
The media technologies that we used for our evaluation were Word Documents, a video and a voice note.
