Question 4

Queston 3. What have You Learned From Audience Feedback?

To gave audience feedback I asked A group of students with the same age group as my target audience and also are interested in Indie music. As quantitative date would not have been useful I decided on some quick open questions to ask them and recorded them in the short film above.
The audience feedback was general positive but there was some recommendations made by the group such as.

• Improvements on the performances particularly with the lip syncing .
• The drawing on the wall could have been done on a larger scale and would have looked better.
• The only way in which the magazine, digipak and music video link together is the use of text font.

I agreed with all the comments on the music video and advertisement package. I could have worked with my cast more before the filming to make them more confident and able to give a more confident performance. I would also have liked to have worked on the drawing on a larger scale however the time it would have taken would have been too long and thus making me late on the deadline. Final I do agree with the idea of the digipak, magazine and video don't link very well but it could be something to improve on by changing the colouring and the lighting more to make it darker.

During the interview with the group I asked about if they had seen anything similar to this before in order to determine if my music video seemed original. They said they thought they might have seen it in something similar but after the interview i researched into it some more (after hearing there sugestions on where they might have seen it) and I concluded that they most likely had not. This is possitive as it does mean my music video is original and different.

If I had had more time to produce the work and organise it I would have prepared my performance and made sure there was a clear link in all the promotional work I poduced. I would have also planned my time better in order to get the most out of it.

Time managment

The deadline is Wednesday for evaluations and the whole media project. I have enjoyed it and will make the deadline on time.

Final Music Video

time managment

I finished all my filming and now editing the video footage. I should be on time for the final video deadline.

Filming over christmas

Filming went well and I have finished filming my performance. I plan to film again this week end the narrative part and possible some more performance element.

Filming part one

I just finished filming with Oliver for the lead in my video, however despite giving him the song and lyrics a week ago he hasn't looked at them or listened to the song. He is not very confident about the filming and I fell the lighting wasn't good ever.
We will try again tomorrow in which I will get him to go through the song and get to know it. I will also try and find another location.

Paramore

This is Paramore, Now. I like this video for the use of powdered paint along with the action which almost makes violence look better with bright colors rather than blood. I also like the suden brighness in the clear change to stop the violence.

Panic at the Disco

This is Panic At The Disco, This is Gospel. I like this video for its song and also that the video does not look like it has been edited and that it is one continuous piece of film.

Main film location

I am going to call the storage facility and ask to view the unit I will be using to film before hand. I will then get something scheduled.

Camera Booking

I have booked a camera and lighting for over the Christmas holidays 20th December- 6th January

Filming the performance

I'm going to be filming my performance this weekend starting Friday to Sunday. I have my performer Ollie who will be doing the lip syncing and the setting will be dark.
