Evaluation question 3

For this question, I interviewed Raffy with the same questions as my questionnaire, in order to get a more detailed response. Raffy is eighteen so fits my target audience. He also takes media so understands what features need to go in to a music video so is able to answer with a more knowledge than other people would have.

I also made a questionnaire to get a wider response of answers. The audience research has been extremely positive. I used EasyQuest to create a questionnaire which I later posted on Twitter, alongside my music video so that people were able to watch my video and answer the 4 questions in my questionnaire. Furthermore, so that the answers were not just my friends on twitter, i asked my parents and friends parents to answer it also, making the age range wider, and the results more fair.
The 4 questions I asked in my questionnaire were:
1) Did you enjoy my music video? (option of yes or no) 
2) Why did you enjoy it / not enjoy it? (open answer) 
3) Do you think the song and video complimented each other well? (option of yes or no)   
4) Would you recommend this music video to your friends? (option of yes or no)

I left the questionnaire open for 24 hours for people to do. Once closed I had received 14 responses. These were the results :
"Very good effects and the song and video flowed together nicely"
"How all the dancing scenes faded in and out in time with the music, wasn’t messy at all"
"I liked the interchanging pictures. So you could see her dancing and walking at the same time. I liked this effect and also the colours used"
"I really enjoyed the story"
"the dancing was really impressive"
"It really portrayed what the song was saying and put the message across well"
"It was edited very well!"
"Dancing with background blends well"
"The single dancer woven in with the story being told"
"It was emotional"
"pretty & interesting to watch"
"beautiful, fitted with the song and looked like it had purpose"


Before showing people my music video, I was scared people were not going to get the story line. I was also worried that people were not going to like the effects, textures and cuts I used. After reading the results of my questionnaire I was relieved to discover that people thoroughly enjoyed my music video, and understood the story line I tried get across.

Evaluation question 2

How effective is the combination of your media product and ancillary text? This question requires me to talk about my music video and ancillary text, then discuss how they compliment each other, and how certain things may clash, and have not been effective. I would then continue by explaining ways in which I could improve my ancillary text to compliment my media more and make it more effective.  Ways in which I could present this is: Interview with director Interview with audience, asking what they think about conventions we used Video of me discussing the forms and conventions

All I Ask- Adele coreography

Image
This music Video incorporates a lot of contemporary dance between a man and woman. Their moves and actions are emotive and carry a lot of power as their movements fit with the music perfectly, emphasising the songs heartbreaking theme, connecting the viewer further to the songs message. This music video covers similar messages we want to depict in our media product for 'lost without you'. We are thinking about taking similar movements they use, and they way in which speed for certain moves are have a big impact, for example the slow movements are more emphasised, making them much more effective. Unfortunately we are not able to a find a man to dance with Lauren, but we do not think this is a major issue as this just reinforces the fact she has been abandoned and is isolated.

Nature Shots

Today I filmed some shots, purely of tree branches and the sky as the background. The sky was bright blue but was a little overcast, which was perfect as it gave a really good textured and layered appearance. As the song is about her boyfriend leaving her to go travelling, the trees and sky symbolise his  freedom and him leaving. We are planning to over lay this footage with Lauren dancing, therefore her dancing on her own, on top of the open sky emphasises her loneliness and his abandonment. This will give the audience a deep, textured visual, which will also intensify their emotions towards the dancers sadness and isolation.
