Composed a Questionnaire for Evaluation Qu. 3 & Music Video Screening

Friday 4th December 2009

Today me and my partner thought it would be highly beneficial to make a questionnaire for the audience feedback evaluation question. This would clearly allow us to understand if our artist appealed to our intended target audience and if so why or perhaps why not.
As a class we organised a music video screening afternoon where we shared our music video with fellow peers who watched and filled in our questionnaires.

Evaluation Question time!

Wednesday 2nd December 2009

Today I looked at the four evaluation questions and started to note down in short plan form what each questions entails and basically started to gather my thoughts and ideas so that when I actually answer the question in full I would have something to work from.

Question 1.
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


* Reference to Goodwins theory.
* Conventions of 'pop' (popular music) genre.
* Rules for promotional videos.

How I used them:
* Lip syncing, Star persona, costume etc...

How I developed them:
* Photographs mixed with video, lighting, colour correction etc...

How I challenged it:
* Mainly only the artist in the video had to keep the audience entertained and
engaged, the use of photographs.

* Using and repeating the same footage for each chorus made it more memorable yet
was a challenge.


Question 2.
How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?


* How all three link and appeal to target audience, same font, colour and use of
roses and flowers make it more recognisable for audience, appeals to young girls.


Question 3.
What have you learned from your audience feedback?


* Questionnaire


Question 4.
How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?


* Effects on Adobe Premiere: Edge feather, Crop, Colour correction etc...
* Panosonic HD camera to film
* Internet to search for artist, email for permission and create the blog.
