Question Four

Question Three

This is our online survey that we conducted whihc we then posted on our blog in an earlier post so we can get some feedback from the audience that watched our music video. The point of this survey was to see where we could improve if we was to do the task to again, nothing is perfect and we were expected some people not to like the video at all.

As you can see 15 out of the 20 answered that they enjoyed the viewing of our music video, which me and Mike see as a ferly high percentage. Of course we would like this to be 100% but as this was our first shot at a music video we are pleased with this. When we spoke to the people who took the survey they said the reaons they didnt like the video is that it needed more "going on", but they liked the way we used the camera and they thought we editing the video well with the soing.

Our music video didnt go to plan as much as we would have liked it to, and i think that is why half of the people answered sometimes. I think to relate it more we would of had to of gone deeper into a life of a teenager who is at the tricky age of 17 where alchol and drugs get introduced. If we was to do this again we would of liked to involved more night life into the video as we think that is where this age group live there lifes now-a-days.

As I said earlier we personally thought that our editing was good, and Mike is mostly to thank for that, as you can see our audience thought that also no no-one at all saying rarely. We are pleased with this but once again as always we are aiming for perfection so if we was to produce the video again we would want to add alot more shots and alot more locations to the video. By doing this i think the video will have a greater pace to it which I personally thought the video was lacking.

Lip synching is one of the most difficult thing you could of asked me to do. Im not the best infront of the camera and to have to sing infront of it to I found hard. To be honest I think I did a good job and I think the feedback we got was a little harsh and when i looked at the video i thought it was very good and intime with the music in most part. As I also said earlier we needed more locations and shots to speed the pae up of the editing if we did that next time, the video will look alot better.

I an happy with 3/4 of our audience agreeing with me and thinking that our digi-pak will drive sales of our product. We tired to make our digi-pak atractive and eye catching by using the colour yellow we thought this would help. I will evaluated the digipak and advertisment in a different post where i will go into more detail about each side. But overall I am pleased with this feedback.

I have mentioned this earlier about including more night life to our product to get teenager more involved. That is the only thing that I think we missed out. If we was to add this i think it would make our response 100%. Even without this our percentage was high for yes so i am pleased.




Question Two







I think the combination of all three of my products are very important. I wanted to make all of my products modern, and link so that each product helped promote the next. Also as the some is very quick i wanted to add some humour to my products which i thought was important due to my target audience being the younger generation.

In our video we thought we had some amazing shots that would be suitable for our digi-pak and advert, we thought the shots where just what we needed. So we went ahead and used them, this is how we linked them all together. We thought it was important to use images from the video in the digi-pak and the poster so that if the audience had seen the video and liked
it they would be able to recognise our product. This would hopefully help to promote sales and make us a greater profit, as the audience would know what they are looking for in a shop like HMV.

One thing we also used to link the products together was colour, which is why although we used yellow on the digi-pak we used the same black and white idea on the advert. We also used the same text type on the advert and on the back of the digi-pak, so agin this shows that the products are linked together.

Overall i think that all three products work together effectively.

Advertisement

This is our first attempt at our advert for a magazine, and I am very please with it.
Aspects of our advert;
  • We told our audience where they can get the album from (Itunes and all good music stores)
  • We told them that they can become a fan on facebook of our artist, we thought this was a great idea to have because our target audience is between 16 and 24. These sort of peple are normally living on social network sites like "Facebook"
  • We told them that the ablum is out now to buy
  • We added anoting song to our ablum. We thought this would make people morre intreasted because they are then getting more for there money.
  • We added a 5 star rating from two of the most well respected music magazines in the world.

Erotic Desire and Agency

In classical Hollywood cinema the male protagonist has agency, he is active, powerful and he is the agent around whom the dramatic action unfolds. the demale character is always passive and powerless, opposite to the male, as she is the object of desire for the male and the audience.
Laura Muley also argues that women have two roles in a single film. The first being the object of erotic desire for the characters and second being the object of erotic desire for the audience.
The can be seen in films such as James Bond and Top Gun.

Feedback From First Showing

We showed our full music video for the first time today, and he wasnt to impressed with our editing.
The feed back was;
  • The editing was to slow
  • Not enough locations used
  • A girl needed to be added to mix it up

So thats what we did, we went out and tried to basically film most of the sceens again which then made us have at least 2 shot for near enough every sceen in our video. By adding these shots it then sped out editing up which also solved that little problem that we was having. The hardest thing was trying to find a girl who didnt mind being filmed and also we had to find some space for these shots within the music video without them looking silly.We did that in the end and thought it worked well int he video.

We therefore took our teachers advice and are now hoping it boosts our video.
