Evaluation Question 4 - How did you use media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?
In order to mix up the usual posts I have used a prezi to answer this question. Prezi is a piece of presentation software and an alternative to PowerPoint which I don't think is very interesting when compared to prezi....
Evaluation Question 3 - What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Below is each piece of feedback that I refer to in my answer.
Feedback 1"I thought the music video was very interesting. I was taken aback by the detail that was in the story and it had a very powerful an emotive feel to it. I think this video could be very relatable to people in different ways....

Evaluation Question 1 - In what ways does you media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions or real media products?
When we began this project I looked at many music videos that I thought to be similar to the ones that we were going to produce in order to get an idea of the conventions that they used and the effects that each individual convention had on the overall video. Very early on in my blog I wrote a lot about...
Audience Feedback
We showed a small group of peers and adults our final edit of the music video and asked them for feedback afterwards.
"I thought the music video was very interesting. I was taken aback by the detail that was in the story and it had a very powerful an emotive feel to it. I think this video could be...

Final Edit
After consolidating our resources me and Sam came together to create a final edit that we will use for the final project.

My Edit
Initially I hadn't had any previous editing experience apart from previous media projects. This time I wanted to look into the editing process in more depth by learning how to use more advanced tools...
Ancillary Products
In addition to the editing we have to complete our ancillary products; a digipak and Magazine advert poster. Since everyone felt that I took a forefront role in both filming we agreed that I would step back a little and allow for Jack and Sam to focus on this, giving them something to really create...
Editing Plan
Sam has a lot of editing experience from other projects that he did on his own time. This really put him in charge of this aspect of the project however editing is something that i have been wanting to really learn how to do effectively since I wasn't able to do this in previous videos. We agreed to...
Recording Done!
After two days of getting footage on an expensive camera that I had to protect, we called it a wrap at my house once capturing the last scene of the boy leaving the house into the night. We shared some pizza and spoke about what we had done.
The last things that need to be done are the ancillary...
Recording Session 2 - Balston Road
On the 7th January, the team had organised to come back to my house in order to film. We carefully transported the equipment back and began as soon as we got home. Due to the time of year it got dark very quickly so we had to take advantage of what little light we had. We could always darken the footage...
Recording Session 1 - Swanage
On the 2nd January every member of the team organised to got to corfe castle near wareham and to swanage in order to capture the outdoor shots that we wanted.

Questionnaire Results
After giving out the questionnaire that we made, we collected the results and analysed them. These were our findings.
Question 1 - How old are you?
The vast majority of the people who took the questionnaire fell into the 13 - 24 bracket. This makes sense since a large amount of our peers would fill...
Similar Products 3 - 'Broken' by Jake Bugg

Crew
Not including our two actors, there are three people working on this music video. By the end of the project we would like to each have done a similar amount of work, while at the same time having taken dominant roles in specific areas.
This naturally leads to each person having a role that...
Audience Questionnaire
I feel that it is important to have understanding of both your target audience as well as the people who don't fall into that demographic. One of the best ways to try and understand these people are by understanding their interests. One of the best ways to...
