Evaluation Question #4

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

In order to answer this question, we created a slideshow with a voice over to evaluate what media technologies we used and why we used them.

Evaluation Question #3

What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

To answer this question we made a short powerpoint presentation which includes a video of someone giving us some audience feedback. The feedback that we got suggested to us that in the future if we were to do this all over again, then we should change a few little things to improve it...

Evaluation Question #2

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

To answer this question we decided to create a Prezi presentation because we thought that it would be something different to try out and would be more eye-catching than an ordinary PowerPoint. Throughout the presentation we analyse why it is a good idea to have a combination of a digipak and advertisement poster as well as the actual music video itself. Below is the link to our presentation.

Evaluation Question #1

In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

We decided to answer this question by creating a Directors Commentary video. Throughout the video we evaluate how we used the standard conventions of successful professional music videos to make our final piece look as good as it could possibly look.

Production - The making of our poster

We used photoshop to edit our poster. We took the idea from Gabrielle Aplin to use the picture on the digipak as the picture on the poster. This made it a lot easier for us to get the poster done quicker.

Above is the picture we used for one of the sides of our digipak. We used this picture as the picture for the poster because we though it would ensure that anyone who looked at the poster would recognise the digipak and therefore the music video.

 

This is the picture after we edited it, added text and changed the saturation. Once we had finished this we had a discussion and thought that it would look better in colour as it would keep with the theme of the digipak and the music video. So we changed it back to a coloured picture...

 

 

So this is our final poster. We think it looks quite professional and are happy with the way it turned out.

 

Research - Poster ideas

When travelling on the London underground, Amy spotted a poster advertising Gabrielle Aplin's single Please Don't Say You Love Me. This is an advantage as we can use this poster for inspiration for our own.

She has used the same picture for her poster as the one that is on her digipak and we thought this would be a really good, time saving option for our piece. So we have now got some ideas that will help us to create our poster that will advertise our music video/song.
