Audience Feedback

Audience Feedback!

So, I got a focus group consisting of other students to view my FINISHED music video, and give me their opinions, from some questions I asked them!





The questions I asked:

• What did you enjoy/like the most about the video?
• Did the pace of the editing match the pace of the song?
• What could be improved in the music video?
• Would you buy the artists album? Would you want to see more from the artist after watching the music video?
• Give the video a rating, on a scale from 1-10. (1 = just terrible, 10 = fantastic!)

I found the focus group gave me a far better chance to get people's opinions, than say a questionnaire.

From the group I had some really helpful answers. I found that the answers were helpful and I very much agree with everything that was mentioned in the focus group.

When I asked the group to rate the video the average was 7.5, which I am very happy with! The group also made great contributions when it came to explain what was good and bad about the music video!
One member mentioned how the video's sharp editing and entertaining footage made it a more enjoyable watch. The group also mentioned how the variety of location made the music video aesthetically pleasing, as in the differentiation in the locations. As a group, they spoke about the costumes made the video easy on the eye, as the outfits, and how I edited it, was great to watch. The group also made points of where I can improve the music video, which I found really helpful. As a whole group they agreed that some of the lip synching didn't match up, which I myself agree. One member of the group, mentioned how the changed in the glasses throughout the video, made it appear as if I had made a continuity mistake, I had made a conscious decision to do this, but I appreciated the comments. When I asked if the group would buy the artists album, or would be interested in hearing more from the artist, some of the group said they would buy the album, and the rest of the group said they would definitely listen to more of the artists songs. I'm also really happy with my efforts as the group all agree that the pace of the editing matches the pace of the song, which is something I found to be really difficult, and so I spent alot of time doing this, and was happy the time paid off.

I'd like to say a HUGE thanks to everyone who gave feedback on my music video!

Finished Music Video

Finished Music Video !


OH MY GOD!!!

It's finally complete, I have finished my music video !!

In spite of all the difficulties I have faced whilst completing my coursework, I am very happy that I have completed it. Making the music video has tested me, and I believe has allowed me to develop as a young adult.

ENJOY !!

Constructing The Digipak

Constructing The Digipak

In order to construct my digipak, I had to establish an idea, or theme, for the digipak.

Firstly, I went through my video, and began building ideas from the music video. The sense I have formed from looking at the video, is happiness. So I decided that my digipak will be constructed with bright colours, joyful pictures, basically nothing that is related to unhappy, dreary, boringness !! 

For example:

I then began thinking about what makes me happy, which made me discover that quite a lot makes me happy !!

For example:

Peach Loops!!
I agree it's sad, but these are my ultimate favourite sweets.

The Sunshine!!

Another of my favourite things is, when the sun is shining! Despite looking as if I'm allergic to the sun, I really love a warm sunny day! It lifts everyone's mood, and generally is just great.

So they are just things two things that I really like, and really a basis for my digipak. I also thought about using images from my music video on the digipak as my audience, would be able to link the two together.

When it came to actually putting together my digipak I used www.picmonkey.com, which allowed me to completely creative with my photos, and the panels of my digipak !!

Above is one of the ways I was making alterations to my images. The effect above is called 'Warhol' (I'm assuming the great Andy Warhol !!) I really like this effect because it just add something special to a picture, which was previously quite boring. Hopefully this will look suitable on my digipak, as I am pleased with the effect. If I don't use this picture I will definitely incorporate 'Warhol' into my digipak ! :) 

Above, is another picture taken from days of filming. This picture prior to the effects was just me next to a wall, but I think the simple effect has made a BIG difference. I used an effect called called 'Yester-colour', which gives the picture a sense of nostalgia, because it has simple colouring to that of photographs from the past, before everything went digital ! I also used my 'signature emoticon', the smiley face! i believe after using the smiley face on my magazine advert, I feel I should incorporate it into my digipak ! I also feel that the effect compliments the outfit that I have on, the khaki and brown are suitable for this effect.
