Specific Audience Feedback on both ancillary productions

Feedback on my ancillary work

Kenny analysed My advertisement as shown as below:

Shannon analysed the two panels as shown as below:

A2 Media Studies-Evaluation Question 1

Questions

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

What Ways Does Your Media Product Challenge Forms And Conventions Of A Real Media Product?

A2 Media Studies-Evaluation Question 2

Questions


2) How effective is the combination of your main product (video) ancillary texts (Digipak and advertisement) ?


What would be described as a successful Music video is one that has strong links with Ancillary products (Digipak and Advertisement)  When both have firm links they work very well to distribute a better image of an Artist as a brand to the viewers and buyers of their products. I wanted to have the links between the music video as well as the Ancillary products so I designed it in a particular way that their were visual links in the video with the Ancillary products.


Artist and costume

I wanted to make relevant links with costume within the Music video and Ancillary products. The outfit that Matsta B is found on the front cover of both the Front Panel of the Digipak And advertisement.

We can see the same hoody and hat worn on The Digipak design only difference is its zipped up.

Locations & Style

Masta B Motive

In reference with the Ancillary product front covers we see the location in which the photography of Masta B is taken. This is taken from the ending scene of Masta B's Music video. The brick wall behind is supposed to link with the conventions of an Urban feel and I believe I did this very well. I worked well with adding a motif into the the music video piece as well as the Ancillary products which has links with the Dubstep genre and is found as a poster in most scenes of our music video

The colouring I used was initial grey, black and white this is because these colours have a huge link with Graffiti designs and dark mysterious locations. I thought the locations in the music video where set around ridged tower blocks, sharp corners, dark pathways and they had to be referenced in the Ancillary work with those specific colours mentioned.

Target audience

 My target audience was for those in their teens, Grime and Hip-hop in the addition of Dub Step enthusiasts. Around the age groups of 15-25, I believe the text designs of the ancillary products and the quality of editing, urban settings, combination of music genres and visual styling of the video would definitely attract a larger target audience and make Masta B a successful up and coming Artist

A2 Media Studies-Evaluation Question 3

(Excuse the Text Made an error with the text and couldn't get around to embedding it)


3) How did you media technologies in the the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Media technology was essential in the development research, planning, and evaluation stages of the media course work.  I individually as well as collectively in a group explored and made use of a variety of aspects of media technology during the making of my course work.

Internet for research purpose?

Internet – Youtube to research British artists and potential song choices, Blogger to see previous students work, and how we could use inspiration and different media technologies, Wikipedia to research conventions of music videos and genre, Google as a search engine to narrow down answers to our questions.

Brand new state of the at video cameras-using memory cards;

Youtube

Google

Facebook to confirm the artist that we will be creating a music video for his song and

asking permission for copyright clearence.

Photoshop to create a mood board for the artist we had chosen.

Microsoft PowerPoint to create our pitch.

Still camera to take shots of our Anamatic.

Final Cut Pro to import out still images to create a anamatic, and also place the music.

Testing out what effects we would like to use, e.g. fading in and out and also over

lapping.

Internet again to book out ‘White Room’ space for filming, checking costs and booking

dates.

Internet to check the weather for when we could film as we didn’t want to bring out the

Equipment whilst the weather was bad, showing our understanding of the health and

Safety rules.

Wordle to create a range of words that link to our planning.

Using my iPod to film, as we were in class and Samarge was rehearsing to remember

His lyrics.

Internet to look at artist styles and clothing so we could pick clothes out for our artist to

fit the genre of our music video

Blogger- Research, planning and evaluation;

Blogger is an important tool in the construction of our A2 media coursework.  I used blogger in order to keep progress with the research i was constructing for my music video, the theorists, the conventions, the creation of our work, uploading numerous imagery and video files, ancillary work and evaluations. 


As a positive Blogger is very much accessible from the college media department, library as well as home. Also, it is easily accessible which makes it easier for me to work at college and to update my work.  Its also allows fo teacher comments when we have to meet deadlines or nee some aid in a particular area of work. Its an electrical diary entry in a short summary.


Wikipedia 

Construction

Filming on my iPod to show how we were getting along whilst filming.

Still camera to take pictures of when we are filming.

Using spotlights whilst filming to help enhance the lighting.

Again using wordle to create a bunch of words that related to our construction.

Using Quicktime Movie to create a recording of what troubles we had and why.

Photoshop to create moodboards of pictures we took whilst filming.

Photoshop to play around and get use to the good effects we could use for the digipak and


advert.

Internet to find sites which we could create GIF’s.

Using Final CutPro to import our footage from the memory cards and place them on the time   


line. 


Also using the cutting tool to cut shots, and the mute tool to tune off the noise so we only hear


the base track.

Also used FinalCupPro once again to create out bloopers, from when we were filming.

Quicktime movie player to record what we were doing on final cut pro

Photoshop and Quark express for the construction of your ancillary products-remember which packages you've for which product as these are two very different programmes!

Final Cut Pro editing-did you use any particular effects, for example?


I used a fast effect in final cut pro an example is going to be shown of the finished product, this was used in the end of our music video.

Did make an animatic or digital storyboard?

Evaluation

I used prezi as a tool in order to display my work

Prezi Tutorial

When using Prezi it allowed me to design a presentation on-line which had the capabilities to upload files such as videos and pictures, its like a web of different topics which you place on it. once finished i embedded the coding onto Blogger and pressing 'Publish Post' would then allow for viewing.

-Using my iPod to create short videos on what people thought of the music video.

-Using my camera to film peoples reactions of what they thought of our music video.
-Using Quicktime movie to record my own thoughts of how I think our video was.
-Using screenshots of my blackberry messenger, to post on blogger of what people thought.
