Post 54: EVALUATION Q.2

Q.2 HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF YOUR MAIN PRODUCT AND ANCILLARY TASKS?

For evaluation question 2, I have produced a video illustrating how we have created synergy across our three products in the design, layout, construction of representations, mise-en-scene, and colour scheme, amongst other things. I wanted to create a chatty video of me describing our ancillary tasks, because I think it best demonstrates our products if its tangible to me and I can go through each of our decisions. I feel as though I went in to a good depth of detail and explained what went wrong, why we liked it, why we used the images we did and whether the two went well together. So, here's the video:

PLANNING:
In preparation to evaluate our ancillary tasks, I printed out the original digipack and poster so I could show them in the video, holding them allowing it to be clear if I wanted to focus on something specifically. I feel as though having the actual ancillary tasks printed out made it easier for me to talk more in depth and compare them when they are placed next to each other because you can see the similarities and differences. I went into filming this video with no particular lay out of what I was going to say because I wanted it to be chatty and more relaxed rather than structured. I feel that doing it this way allowed me to express my own opinion of the ancillary tasks in depth. However, I did have a few talking points that would be key in explaining how our effective the combination of our ancillary tasks are with our main product is. They included consistency, details, colour schemes, characters, our target audience, the forms and conventions of indie posters and much more. (highlighted in the mind map below). In conclusion, this worked really well and I feel as though you can understand the reasoning to why these images were used and put together through my discussion.

Post 33: PLANNING: Editing

EDITING Our editing style, we know already, we plan to be slow and not heavily edited in port-production with long takes that can really take in the story, to fit the more sombre tone of the song, rather than be heavily edited with lots of cuts that can come out as jumpy and fast. We also want to focus on the sisters, so the cameras will often be rolling for a longer time on the sisters and their movement and not just just on and off for certain shots that are pieced together later to make the story. Below is an example of one longer shot that we could use, instead of lots of little ones, when shooting in the car moving from one sister across to the other: NARRATIVE: Above is a video I found on YouTube roughly describing what narrative is. It helped me understand the meaning of narrative and how it is used.  LINEAR NARRATIVE  -  Linear narratives  present stories in a logical manner by telling what happens from one point in time to the next withou...

Q.3 WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK? Firstly, here is my plan for answering Evaluation Question 3:  THE QUESTIONNAIRE: Some answers from three different people taken verbally after they have watched the music video and looked at the ancillary tasks, (the poster and the Digi-Pak): Then, I asked one woman aged 51+ and two boys aged 17 to answer it. Here were their responses:  - woman (purple pen) - boys (black pen) - A video we created taking some more answers: What have I learnt from my audience feedback? To gain feedback I wanted to specifically talk to people who were part of my target audience, which was younger people, but I also spoke to few people from an older generation to make sure it was inclusive. I did this by showing people my music video on youtube and then printing out my digi-pak and poster and presented them in the interview. I then asked them questions in a discussion or intervie...

Post 6: Key Music Videos Timeline

POST 6: PRACTICE TASK - KEY MUSIC VIDEOS TIMELINE    This research is to discover the key turning points in music videos in the last century leading up until now. Before we started, the only inclination we had was that Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was important and was a major turning point with creating a storyline with the music video so it was interesting for all of us to see where it originally came from and who influenced the creation of music videos all of the world.  Our online presentation for the Key Music Video Timeline can be found: HERE.
