Evaluation 3

Without the feedback from my audience creating the final result would have been impossible, as it their comments that instigated my changes to video and gave me and the audience the final product.
Example of this can be found by comparing my original draft piece with the final version of the video.
As it becomes perfectly clear that the style of video has changed, from a narrative based video to a performance based video.








Most of my audience loved the fact I was going to use real fire in video although a few were sceptical due to the potential health and safety risks.
After starting the planning process for the re-filming it became clear that it was to risky to use the literal ring of fire in the video as it was being moved inside.
But it was suggested by one of my actors during the filming of the final video that we keep the ring of fire in the video by filming it in the basement where it was safe.
I jumped at the chance and we managed to find space in the editing to include it.

1st ring of fire




2nd ring of fire



The amount of feedback I have received through out the course of creating my video allowed me to constantly edit sections of it until it reached the standard of which you see now. I received comments from my peers that not only changed my work but changed my attitude as well, Mark Bramford said

From advice given to me by my teacher to include the following.




I also avoided using the editing software to change the tone of the video to black and white, as after asking a number of people which style they prefered the majority said colour.

Draft Evaluation 4

I have used alot of new technology in the researching of my product, I used Youtube to so I could look at existing examples of this genre. Youtube is a good source of existing media text but it can prove to be difficult to navigate as there are so many videos on the site it is difficult to find the one that you want.
I used Scribd to get my word documents onto my blog which proved very useful although it has a tendancy to strench and distort any images on the document so its not the best alround.
SlideShare on the other had allows me to not only update my blogg with my power point presntations but also allows me to add word documents with images in a way that does not destort the image.

Draft Evaluation 3

I have received feedback from both my teachers and the students I work with about my music video and my ancillary products their comments have been instrument in the creation of my final piece as without this feedback I would not have been able to improve my work to the level it is now.
Comments from Mr Smith about the lack of detail towards the narrative on my Draft video, and Mrs Somel's comments that the Draft was not expressing the full emotion of the characters involved.
I attempted to change this by filming some of the scenes again but even after making these changes their were to many issues left to address before it would be a half decent video and this would take alot more time then I had.
Mr Smith's possitive comments about my document like filming made me realise I should do some more filming like this for my blog.
A comment from Mark Bramford that the trouble I was having not being the end of the world, gave me some much needed motivation that help me to develope my new idea for a music video.

Draft Evaluation 2

The combination of our ancillary Products and the music video it self work together as they are all focused on the main character in this case John Rhodes,the combination of these products together gives a clear image of John Rhodes as a person and the emotions he felt during the creation of his music video.
Looking at my music video as a base for the design for our ancillary products I decided that the ancillary products should display the same level of emotion as the video which I think links the product together effectively. The Brand image that I created from the combination of my music video and ancillary products appeals to my target audience and hopefully to others that have never listened to this style of music before.
