Exploring my genre

Music video trends

Progress review so far

How successful is the blog?

The blog was successful in post and pre production planning and research, as a group we knew where we were and what we had to do. We had a very detailed pitch which gave us a lot of information about what days we're filming and editing and research on other artists in our genre so that we have a brief idea of shots and shot types while filming. 

How happy are you with your blog?

I'm satisfied with my blogs as I'm working hard to get back on track but they're not as detailed i would like or use as much of the ict software I wanted to initially.

What would you mark yourself out of 20 marks

Honestly I'll mark myself a 11-12 because it's not as detailed as I would like but I do feel like my blogs at the beginning were very promising as i used other ict formats and they were really detailed compared to my more recent ones.

Reflection on response to feedback

From our rough cut we got told to to make sure that "every clip hits the beats." 

We took that into accord and tried our hardest to get it on the beat but we got told a second to get it "exactly on the beat." And we got it that time 

We got told to build up our "structure" so keep our chorus to the artists and the little verses to the narrative.

That was very easy for us to do as only a few of our clips went into the chorus or where to slow into the chorus.

We got told to "keep the night shots for the end"

We tried to keep most of our night shots in the end so that our clips went in order or time but we found that we didn't have enough night shots so we could use a lot at the end only the ones we had.

We were reminded to be mindful of the "head space" in our shots

So we were being very selective and changing the motion and cropping the picture so that head space wasn't too much.

Reflection on editing rough cut

There are two rough cuts the first one is a Normal rough cut that stops at the chorus and the second rough cut is the same but with a monochrome filter.

After reviewing the feedback that received about the monochrome filter and how it shouldn't be on the Performance shots. That was taking into account but then as a group we decided that the monochrome filter wasn't good and we got told that it was hiding and distracting from our emotive shots so we decided to scrap that and just dim the brightness instead.

Reflection of editing on markers

My group found it difficult to place the markers and the clips in sync because the audio track we used was from YouTube and the track we used during filming was from soundcloud which was faster than the original.

So we had to camtasia just the audio and then put the audio into a MP3 file and set that as our audio soundtrack. These then made it easier for us mark up the clips to the sound track. 

We added the beats after every 'ahh' for the narration and then for the performance a marker was put on the starting lyric on every two lines. 

So that there was no confusion the 'ahh' was coloured red/pink and the lyric makers stayed green. 

The 

Individual review

Throughout filming and editing I had a vision of how I wanted the music video to look and with the amount of redrafting that had to be done with the storyboard surprisingly still made my vision for the video to come true which I'm really happy for.

There were a few parts of the music video I hasn't feeling too confident about like the ending but with the night shot and the time lapse but when I saw it on the big screen in the cinema it looked alright. We dimmed the brightness on the narrative shots because the filters were terrible but will viewing I felt as though the dim was dark enough however it still fulfilled the sad message that being put across.

Feedback Review

After filming the audience feedback and putting it up on the blog I started reflecting and watching what they said for the review. 

I was so happy with the feedback we received as everyone enjoyed it and thought it was very good compared to the rough cut feed backs we received where people we re giving us constructive criticism. 

Most of the worries and doubts that were there were covered with everyone's great reviews.

Wider Audience Feedback

We also received feedback from our wider audience, I'm glad they enjoyed it !

Target Audience Feedback

We received feedback from a target audience member, I'm really happy with the feed back, I'm glad that she enjoyed it!

47. Importance of function of digipak & to music industry

What is a cross promotional package?

It is different media forms that work alongside each other to promote the same thing in this case my artist.

Within cross promotional packages, there are digipaks and websites for the artist. these are used to help with saturating the audience .

What is a website?

-It is a modern approach to CD packaging 

- Allows the artist to include mor information about themself  adding extra value to the artist. 

What should be on the digipak?

-the artists names , it should be clear and bigger than the album name as you want the audience to remmeber the name of the artist as the artist

- the font and colour scheme should have no more than 2 different font types and no more than 3 different colour schemes this should also be the same on the website, it should have the same colour scheme and font types. 

-it should have a promotional stivket .

Tracklisting within the Digipak:

- should have same font as artist name 

- production information for example, copyright/ year of production, distrubioutor & price of digipak

The image of the artist should have an echo visual style of colour scheme 

Overall

the digipak should have no more than 3-4 colours , no more than 2 different font types and it must create some sort of visual link to the artists website. The digipak is an important feature to helping the artists gain a fanbase.
