Evaluation Question 3
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Pitch Feedback -
The pitch feedback we got a few months ago really helped kick start this project, it was mainly positive as the band name, character names and back ground stories really worked well together especially for our chosen genre, the record label was well thought out and everything just seemed to fit well with each-other, however we didn’t think of any theories e.g Goodwin or logos/other iconic symbols. After listening to these changes we then started on improving the pitch in order to create a better music video.
For my Digi Pak the most important feedback I got was the minor changes I had to make in order to improve it. There wasn’t anything that really ruined the Digi Pak and overall it was very successful and looked like a genuine rock band’s Digi Pak.
Positive feedback consisted of many people liking the colour scheme and the photographs used of the band shots aswell as the edgy distorted pictures and patterns, these all interweaved with one another creating a very rocky feel.
Negative feedback originally consisted on changes that had to be made in order to make it an authentic Digi Pak, for example in my first draft I forgot to add things like the record company and barcode however those changes have now been made.
For my poster the most important feedback I got which helped me improve it was moving titles and logos around in order for a better fit plus emphasising who they band are and what the poster is promoting. I think my poster now is much better and when shown along side the music video and Digi Pak you can really see how well they work together and they look like authentic media products.
From our first draft we got very positive student and teacher feedback. The majority of the class really enjoyed the performance and how well the video looked in the sense that it follow the codes and conventions of the narrative. Another part of the music video that worked well was the editing and the shots that were used all highlighted the stereotypes within this music genre, for an example lots of head banging was emphasised especially on heavy parts of the song. One improvement the audience noted was how the narrative needed to be more worked on more and as cinematographer I knew it was essential to film more narrative shots therefore we planned a reshoot but it was not successful as the weather was completely different to our previous footage, some shots were useable however I’d give a another chance to improve this video I think our narrative could have been a lot better in that sense.

Evaluation Question 4
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
We used media technologies from the very beginning of this project to find inspiration, plan our music video and create our music video.
YouTube was our main source for finding inspiration for our music video. Once we had picked a genre we would watch music videos from that genre to gain some sort of idea of what we want to create. Doing this gave each of us an image on what we thought we could create so from there we brainstormed all of our ideas. Putting them together to construct a final idea that we would then create.
One the group members (Harry) would use Apple music (Media Technology) to listen to loads of music from that genre trying to find the song which we could create a music video for. This is how we found our chosen song 'Back to me' by 'Of Mice and Men'.
To Construct our music video the lead cinematographer (Tommy) used a Sony A6000 to film everything. To edit the video the lead editor (Max) used Adobe's Premier Pro which allowed us to create the desired effects of slow motion and colour correction.
Adobe Photoshop was used a lot during this project as we had to use it to create our Digi Pak and posters (Ancillary Texts). Photoshop allowed us to tamper with the colours along with brightness and contrast of our images to make sure they looked exactly how we wanted them to.
DaFont was the name of the website we used to find the font that we thought matched our genre of music video. We picked out 5-6 that we liked and thought worked and then gave out a questionnaire asking 'which of these fonts do you think best suits a rock genre music video.
Blogger was used throughout the entire process of this project to record all the progress we were making towards creating our final creative piece.
The media technologies that we used for our evaluation were Word Documents, a video and a voice note.
