Question 3

Evaluation Question 3- What have you learned from your audience feedback?

ANCILLARY TEXT FEEDBACK

 

When I did my first ancillary text draft I made a questionnaire about both the album advert and the digipack on areas I thought I could improve, I then turned this data into pie charts so I could find out which were the most popular areas of improvement. 

 

 

For my digipack most people said that I should take my professional looking images and plan a shoot, Including hair and makeup. They also said that I should  change the colour scheme of my digipack, I agree with this and think that I should make the colour scheme less 'girly' so it appeals to a wider audience.



 

For my album advert the most popular for how I should improve was that I should change the main image and next was that I should spread the text out on the page because it was too close together and confused my audience.

 

 



 

 

 

 MUSIC VIDEO FEEDBACK

 

I asked four questions to a 17year old girl about my music video and what she thought about it.

The questions were:

• what genre is my music video?
• is my video abstract, narrative or performance?
• what editing techniques were used?
• is my video continuous from my ancillary texts?
  

• From this feedback I learnt that my music video does fit into the pop genre due to the costume/clothes and the narrative aspect as well as lip sync and performance.
• The video comes across as narrative because the story line goes along well with the lyrics and they match.
• The editing techniques I used were good, I was able to lip sync, use slow motion when necessary and use transition filters.
• My promotional package is continuous because I did the photo shoot on the same day that I filmed so the hair and makeup looked the same in the video as well as on the digipack and advert.

Question 4

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

This is a step by step process of what I did on photo shop to make my album advert draft.

First, I opened the photo I wanted to have as my poster image onto photoshop.

I changed the levels on my photo to make it looks sharper and brighter and more appealing to look at.

 

Then I got a photo of ripped paper to add as a background for the album name.

Then I added the album name 'Figure 8' ontop of the ripped paper, I found the font on 'dafont.com'.

Next, I used 'dafont.com' again for my artists logo 'Victoria' I put the logo above all other writing so its the first thing people will look at and theorefore know who's the album is.

Then in the bottom right corner I added the artists website for further information on the album relsease, I found this a common album poster convention.

I added the text 'debut album'.

Next, I added the record labels logo to the bottom left corner.

And finally I included what songs were found on this album for extra information and to let the audience know that these singles that have already been relseased will be on this album.
