The Evaluation Questions.

These are the questions that we are required to answer in our individual evaluations:

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

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

What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

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

mock magazine advert ideas

These are two mock ideas for our magazine advert.

mock digi-packs

these are the final few designs that we chose to develop our final product from.

planning proccess

these are photos we took or edited to uses in the advert and digi-pack along with images from the video so we could develop our product but keep a relation to the video at the same time.

New image to consider

after receiving feedback on our video this image was repeatedly commented on as been a strong image so we are now going to try and include it in our advert or digi-pack.

Work in photo shop

This is an images similar to the one of James Blunt it is an interesting image but it doesn't really go with the rest of the video so we may not use it in our final product.

feedback of final video

• Time lapse went well and thought it fitted in well with video could be used for digipack as a background.
• Our extra footage that we filmed fitted in well with the video and gave the video more pace.
• The shots of Jonny worked well to show isolation so it fitted in with the fell of the song well.
• The leaves falling from the sky are a good image.
• Enough variety of different shots to stop the video becoming boring.
• The song showed Jonnys emotion and isolation well.
• Traffic might work well in the digipack as a background.
• The fades work well to make the singing look fluent.
• Shown as not being connected to the rest of the world.
  

possiable shot to be used in advert/dig pack

these shots are take from the video we each chose one we though would work well at selling the artist and continuing the theme of the video.

This is a screen grab to show the work done in final cut.

M.Craft - Dragonfly Final Video

This is our final video as a group we are happy with the video and pleased with our work so far.

Deadline

Our deadline for our music video is the end of today and we are on schedule for finishing on time. The editing is almost finished and there is only a few small pieces which need finishing, but we should be finish before the end of the lesson.

Photoshoot

We plan to do a photoshoot for our DVD cover of Jonny and hopefully have a closeup of his face in the middle of our cover, selling the artist and we want use photoshop to add different styles, colors, patterns and fonts in the picture possibly making it look a bit like James Blunts DVD cover.
We want to shoot it next lesson, hopefully after we finish our music video. We may also use some of these pictures, as well as some screen grabs in our digipack.

James Blunt album dvd cover

This is the album cover for James Blunts album back to bedlam. We like the colors that are used, the pattern, the abstract appeal and has a hippy effect which follows the way James blunt is because him and his music is very laid back.
We might use this album cover as inspiration and do a similar cover for our artist.

editing

our music video is nearly finished, we just need to adjust some of the shot transitions between shots and decide if we want to add an effect over throughout the hole video.

Rough cut

Feedback for rough cut below

Feedback Feedback

After reading the response we are quite pleased with people initial reactions and now know what we need to improve and add.

Also our response to some of the critizism such as, the lip sinking, will be sorted out in time for the final deadline, obviously. Now we are going to fine tune the editing and also go out and film some abstract shots that fit to the video, and add effects to them. For example leafs falling of trees and ink in water. In conjunction to our previous blog post from Tom.

Footage that we stil need to film

Further filming

Now that we have looked at our footage and have edited it we have noticed that alot of our shots are similar and the video doesn't pick up any pace so when we go out filming again we will be filming other bits of abstract scenery such as leafs, different lighting and other similar objects.

Filming this weekend

We are still on track for filming this weekend and the weather hasn't changed to much from earlier on this week so the weather hopefully won't affect our filming. We also now have images of the settings that we want to film from the pictures that Michael took.
