Final progress review blog

My A2 blog compared to my AS blog has an extreme amount of detail and is a lot more visual. I used many more different forms of ICT such as slide shows. My blog goes through all my research, planning and production stages of both creating a music video and ancillary work. I feel that my blogs show the stages clearly and effectively as i have clearly stated what i did. I have about 100 individual blog posts which i tried to make as interesting as possible. I would change my filming blogs as they don't reflect on everything we did. I would of also liked to have recorded the screen whilst editing the music video.

QUESTION 4.

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK.

When we went to the cinemas to watch the music videos, our video had a very positive reaction in the audience. i think this because our song was a popular song - fairly recent too. But also because there was a slight competitive vibe because there was another group that had the same song as us. 

Potential changes and improvements would be that we should have been more organised with the people we had because most of them was VERY unreliable (N),  we had to get masses of work done in such a short amount of time which really did stress us out, however as a group we did work well.

Improvements would be that we should have stuck to our original plans, because we had to change a lot of things around because we either didn't get the right shots or someone or something was missing or something went wrong. We had also taken SOOO such footage that we didn't even use. 

i have learnt that popular songs engage people into a video more, than a song no one knows because people are not familiar with the artist or the music.

I have also learnt people expected a lot from us because the original was excellent so we had to live up to that expectation and also because another group had the same song so the pressure was on! But because of the good reaction it was a sigh of relief, even though we could have broken and used more conventions to better our video we did our best!

QUESTION 2.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF YOUR MAIN PRODUCT ( VIDEO) AND YOUR ANCILLARY TEXTS? (DIGIPAK & ADVERTISMENT)

I think that my ancillary work and my video fairly well together. In our music video we had a variety of backgrounds which goes well with our "space" theme because we mostly filmed in the dark and we had bright effective colours in the dark too.

this is my digipak cover , this compliments the filming we have done in the dark and the colours of the water in Granary

The audience will have a clear understanding of the connection between my digipak and my video because of my star and the way theme is set out and the colours and ect.

i think the audience maybe attracted to my digipak because it is colourful and eyecatching .

My ancillary work is fairly okay, however i do honestly think i could haver done way better.

QUESTION ONE

Evaluation Question 4

Evaluation - What have you learned from your audience feedback?

On the way to the cinema i was very nervous about watching my music video on the big screen. I traveled with Ipek and was talking to other group members whilst on my journey and it seemed a lot of people were feeling the same way.

One of the main reasons for feeling nervous is the fact that another group was doing the same song as us which meant both music video's will always be compared with each other. However, i was really excited to see the music video especially on a big cinema screen and to just get everyone's overall view and what they thought.

After everyone had finished their music video's we had the opportunity to watch them in cinema. This was a great way to see how the audience would react after seeing the music video. Below is a video which shows some of the feedback we got after viewing it in the cinema. 

We were given back a lot of positive feedback which made me feel proud of the music video. We also got back some helpful constructive criticism which was interesting coming from different people.

Some of the things that people liked about the music video was the projected footage we used. The also like the use of location such as the nigh shots we did in Kings Cross especially because of the colorful water fountains. Many people asked where this location was as they now wish to go visit it. Another great positive feedback we got was the editing of the music video as people mentions it went well with the beat of the song. I think this is one of the hings that i am most proud of as i spent time putting in quick cuts when the beat got faster or adding a transition such as a fade when the beast got slower and went into the chorus.

From both a female and male audience said that they thought our artists did a very good job and suited the role well. They said he looked good and was very enthusiastic which i can agree with as i filmed some of he shots. 

Some of the constructive criticism that we got back was to include a more variety of shots. I think that a good way o improve the video is to include more camera movements as the camera was still for most of the shots. 

From the feedback i have learnt that i should be happy the final video as people said that the editing was really good and went well with the beat of the song. It's also important to to include a wide range of different shots of our artist which i think we could have got more of like and extreme close up. Plus to keep the music video interesting movement of the camera goes well so it is best not to use a tri-pod when filming. The locations used make a great difference within a music video and i think that the ones we chose went well with our story.
