Feedback

Audience Feedback Form (Digipak Draft)

This is the feedback i recieved on the draft i have produced of what i have in mind for my digipak. Both of the people i asked had similar concerns, therefore, i need to pay careful attention to this when it comes to the photoshoot, and therefore i will remind myself of this document nearer to the time.

W/C 24th October



This week i have been trying to get all the planning finished in order to get the filming started.

I have mainly been tryingto get as many people as possible to complete my Polls. i have trying to get as many different types of people to do them aswell, so a range of different ages for example. It is important include variety as it will then make hte result more reliable as its a wide scope of opinion.
When the polls are complete i will then go on to put together the target audeince profile.

Also this week i have asked for my actor and actress to complete their screen test and send them to me, who both agreed to have it done by the end of the week.

Lastly, the drawing for the digipak cover draft is in prgress and again should be done by the end of the week.

DigiPak Draft

The above image is what i have in mind to be on the fornt of my DigiPak. The image shows half the face sad and upset, with make up smudged and running down her face, while the other side is happy and make up looks beautiful. This is a conceptual cover to portray the two emotions the artist is feeling. She is both upset that her partner has cheated on her and hte relationship is over, but she is happy she found out and had a chance to escape.

W/C 17th October

I have now put all the question up for my poll. I am now waiting for people from my target audience to answer the questions, in order for me to then analyse the answers they give and create a bigger picture of what my target audince are like.
The questions i have added onto my blog are:

- Do you prefer videos with more than one actor?
- Do you prefer music videos which are technically pleasing or conceptual?
- Do you favour video filmed on set or location?
- How do you hear about new music?
- Do visuals and lyrics always have to have a connection?
- Do props and costumes play an imporant part of the overall music video?
- Do you like to see the artist on the album artwork?
- What age group are you?

I believe these questions are key questions, as the answers given will gain me knowledge to what my target audience find most important about the music videos they watch. I will then be able to include these features in my music video and give the audeince what they want.

I have also now completed and uploaded my test sequence.

W/C 10th October

This week I have started to put polls up onto my blog. When my target audience begin to answer the questions I will be able to build up a better picture of what my target audience is like and what their needs & wants are. With this information I will be able to use it to my advantage and create a music video which they will be able to enjoy, and therefore will have much more value.


The questions I have put up are ‘do you favour music videos which are technically pleasing or conceptually pleasing?’, ‘do you prefer videos with more than one actor?’ and ‘What music video channels do you watch the most?’

I decided on these questions because I will be able to find out where they watch the music videos and then research more into this channel by looking at the music video they show and draw ideas from this. I will also be able to see if I need to recruit more actors than I already have. For example, the poll might make me realise I need to include backing dancers. The final question I have put on will find out if the audience would prefer to watch a music video which is technically pleasing, for example with advanced after effects skills, or if they would have a video which is brilliant filmed.

W/C 3rd October

This week we have been working on our test sequence.
In small groups we went out with the cameras and filmed short sequences of different shots we could possible use in our music video for different effects. The main shots we focused on were multiple exposure, dramatic angles, extreme close up, slow motion and reverse motion. Multiple exposure shots show the same person engaging in different actives in the same shot. Dramatic angles are when the camera is positioned for example in an extreme low angles or extreme high angle, which creates a sense of unreality. The extreme close up shot will show tension as you are able to see the actor in a closer position. Slow motion is to create a visual aesthetic treat and reverse motion has a similar effect. However reverse motion can also leave the audience thinking about how this is possible.
