Evaluation

1.) Our music video does use forms and conventions of real media products. Our story is based around a love story although is doesn't end happy and this is a plot that is used in many media texts especially music videos. The shots used are also familiar with many media texts. In our music videos that we researched we can see soem aspects of our video that are the same as real music videos. I fell that our music video does challenge soem aspects of real media texts due to the fact that oru video doesn't happily ever after as many that have the same storyline as ours do.I think the the shots we used are similar to thse that can be found in professional standard music videos and i feel that the shots we used helped our msuic video achieve the final result that we got. We have found a video that has a comparison to our music video and the location is that same and some of the shots are similar.

This is one of the comparisons we found to our music video another video by an artist called Devlin. In the background the London eye is visible in both videos and the background colors is also similar.

On the right is the shot From Devlin's video and on the right is that shot from our video and the location is very similar and the shot is the same aswell.

2.) I feel that our music video, digi-pak and magazine advert work really well and show our creative side as well our music video because we used technology such as imovie and photo shop. I feel that the standard of our digi-pak and advert our to a good and all most professional standard and compliment our video really well. Both our digi-pak and magazine advert contains us the band members as we feel that is was good for the audience to see us it gives effect to the overall picture. On the digi-pak we felt that it looked good for us two have the images of us on the inside either side of the CD and we also put our signatures onto the images to make it look more like professional standard work. On the outside of the digi-pak we chose the color white because we both agreed on it and on the front of the digi-pak there is the front page which contains the bands name. On the back page we have the song titles are where they are purchasable and the production company and on the third side we put graphics on there of the band name in different colors to represent the band name. On the magazine advert we decided than again to get the best effect that we should include pictures of ourselves. We used magazine comments and ratings to make it seem more professional as all magazine adverts contain them. Yet again we decided to use ITUNES because thats where the song is purchasable from and so therefore its vital to include that. We also decided to include HMV in case people wanted to know where the CD was available from. We along with the title are the centre-piece of the advert and for the background we decided to use flashes of colors because the original picture was taken against a plain wall and the background also looks effective.

3.)Audience feedback- We received good audience feedback because we created a survey and a good number of people took the survey and the results were positive for us. We received some good ratings for our video such as 8/10 and even 9/10 and the lowest mark we received was 7/10 which is good for us to know that people enjoyed to watch our music video. Some of the people who took our survey even said that they enjoyed the enough enough they would enjoy to watch it again.

These are spider diagrams of all the technology that we used to video our music video, digi-pak and music magazine advert. Some of these technologies we were accustom with whereas some other we weren't as good with.
