What have you learned from the audience feedback?

This Wordle is basically a summary of the audiences feedback after thoroughly watching our music video via youtube. The audiences respond all together was a lot better than i expected including the criticisms which were very constructive and that shall be taken in.

The questions asked including the replies are as follows;

1. Did you enjoy the Music Video?

Most people responded 'Yes' to this question which was a very positive outcome of that hardwork that was put into the making, researching and planning of the music video. The all point of the music video in the first place was to make it and that the audience would appreciate it. This includes why we added the storyline into the video so that the whole video will be far more fun and exciting and it would be enjoyable to watch. The video in my own point of view was incredibly successful.

2. What did you like about the Music Video?

" The fact that it is an enjoyable video; its different; it tells a story but at thesame time it has very good visuals and the editing is really good too thumps up".
Overall this was a good feedback. the fact that they thought the video was different made it one step ahead of any other video that they may have looked at. The editing and visuals being really good also meant that they liked what they saw but obviously taking that on board for next time will mean that the editing needs to be excellent so that they will love it next time. Carrying on the conventions but making the video different is one really good thing about my music video.

3.  What didnt you like about the Music video ?

" The editing got sloppy towards the end; camera work when the guy in the corridor was walking down the hall was poor, his head got cut off; use of different scenery".

From this what i learnt is that the editing and camera work must be kept consistent in order for the music video to be successful. The use of different camera person in the middle of the video obviously did not work and so i have to make sure that is not a problem next time.Another constructive criticism that i took on board from the audience was the fact that some of the camera work was poor in the sense that the bit where; The guy was walking along the corridor and enter the room, and the the camera cuts his head off, This wasnt good enough and definetely must not happen next time.

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

Along with our music video we were to to make ancillary texts being a Digipak and Magazine Advert. This is so that it could simulate a famous music video, which comes with its digipak and magazine advert for its album. As this accilary text are to accompany the music videos, they must have some sort of significance to the music video.


The similarities between our Music video and Ancillary texts ;

DIGIPAK

To make the Digipak we used the software photoshop Cs3. It is highly important that the Digipak reflects the music video. Which is why the front of the digipak was designed to be black and white because that reflects the costume of the band members. The 1st and 2nd cover of the inside of the album however contrasts the black and white front cover simply because  taking the word ' Sunday' from the band name and the word ' Saint'  from the main album title brought up the idea of making the inner cover  look like the inside of a church and so therefore by opening up th e digipak, it will feel like making and entrance into a church . This can be compared to like walking into a peaceful and joyful place which is why we decided to make the inside cover look bright and catchy.  

 Making the Digipak this way looked very effective people opening the album will not only feel like opening an ordinary album but it will feel like opening  a door and expecting something great and mighty.



Magazine Advert

 This Magazine advert which was made by one of my group member was very effective and this is what he said about it " Found it useful and effective for my magazine advert to look the way it looks. I took the inside of the album and made it my digipak. I originally wanted to use this as my album cover however I had to change this quickly as i could not add a title on top of it as there are is too much going on to add text. Knowing that I decided it would be better if placed it as my magazine advert i could add a black box and add text to it".

Using this educational website known as 'Prezi' , it has enabled me to use a different type of presentation to illustrate and explain the ways in which my media product has used, developed and challenged forms and conventions of real media product...in order words, music videos.

We also conformed to conventions such as the close ups of the instruments which we got from the Artic monkeys music video- brainstorm.
