CLOSING STATEMENT

I have now come to the end of my course and would just like to say its been a lengthy yet great journey, and a massive thanks to everyone whose helped me through it. I've learnt so many valuable skills throughout the year that I know will be of use in the future. Having a great teammate to work with has made this entire process all the more enjoyable, being able to combine Esther's skills of video editing and my skills of designing (the Digipack & Advert) we managed to construct a 'new artist' and everything that comes with it. I would like to conclude this journey by giving a massive thanks to my teacher Miss Dunn whose supported all of us throughout this process, and who without our work wouldn't have turned out as successful as it has, and of course Mr Sleeve - who was more a life saver than he was a helping hand! So yeah, I hope you like our Advert & DigiPack and enjoy watching our Music Video as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Many thanks!

4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?


EVALUATION - Q3

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?


After completing our music video and ancillary texts I gained audience feedback from a number of my peers. I tried out two different methods in conducting feedback, one included a survey and another is of one of my peers (target market) who filmed himself watching the video whilst giving feedback. 


I also carried out a questionnaire to my target audience (between the ages 16-19) asking them questions on our music video, asking them what they thought was good about our video and what we could improve on. Below is an infogr.am showing the results I gained:




Overall, I am pleased with the feedback we received from the group of people within our target audience who we showed our video to, as the majority of the comments we really positive. The few negative comments we did receive were either due to things we couldn't change such as some of the camera angles we filmed at, and the quality of some of the shots. Nevertheless this showed us that our editing of the video was good as people really enjoyed it as a whole. I feel that through the process receiving feedback on my music video I have learned a lot about how to make videos in the future,

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts (DigiPack & Advert)?

EVALUATION - Q1

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and convetions of real media products?


When producing our music video we got a lot of inspiration from pre-existing music videos. In some ways, this meant that we were very much conforming to the covnentions of real media products, as we were looking at existing material and taking ideas from the stereotypes that have formed in the Hip-hop genre. Below I have created 9 key-frames showing how I have used, developed and challenged forms and conventions, and with each one I have taken a screenshot of our music video.

Production Diary 12

So, as I said in my previous diary I decided to get some audience feedback from our target market. We worked on our advert and digipack based off the feedback gained and made the valid changes, and finally everything is completed, yaay. The music video is also completed, I think it would be a good idea to gain some  audience feedback on that as well, so we might as one of our peers to film themselves watching the video and giving their comments and thoughts on it. But yeah, everything is finally completed, I am now going to begin working on my evaluation.
