Q4
Q4: What have you learned from your audience feedback?
•Looking the feedback I got I think that we needed to focus more on the editing our because some people said that the lip-sync didn't work and the camera was a bit too shaky.
•But in saying this I think that it wasn't our editing skills that needed improving and in the cinema when our video freezed it a technical problem, I made sure when finishing editing our music video perfectly our teacher checked it for us and it was all in sync and it didn't freeze. But after when I watched our final video in vimeo the ending part wasn't in sync so I don’t know what we did wrong.
I have learnt that I have to check if the video is in sync even after it was check by our teacher and I would of improved on out camera skills and make the panning and tracking look more smoother.
Ancillary product
• The feed back I got for my ancillary product were mostly positive they like the way I used the lights with the image creating the effect of a dreamy look they also like the images I used but when looking at both music video and my ancillary product they said they found it a bit hard to see the link between the two. I feel that, that is the case I think I needed to make a more clear link between the music video and my digipak. I did try and link some imagery by using an image of the artist with her guitar linking it to one of our base tracks in the video.

My last post
Throughout the course work part of the course not only have I learned new skills I have also improved on ones already gained.
Firstly working with a group of people who I have never met before was quite daunting, but it was interesting. We were all people of different personalities but as a group we fused well; really getting on with each other (at most times). It was quite a pleasure to work with Famida, Ahmed & Mika ;).
I learnt being a pop star isn’t as easy as it looks, its hard working, repeating the same words and moves over again while being filmed at different angles. Although filming it was quite fun.
But while taalkign of popstar i think i should say a BIG thank you to Yumi, who agreed to be our artist, as we couldn't find anyone.
Yeah I AM NOW SICK OF HEARING ‘Who you are’ I’ve realised I can not listen to it unless I’m in media.
But while taalkign of popstar i think i should say a BIG thank you to Yumi, who agreed to be our artist, as we couldn't find anyone.
But overall it’s been a fun learning experience. It’s quite sad that this is my last blog post (wiping the tear from my eye as I type ;’( )
Well Salute My blog, Group 32 and Blogger.
Evaluation: Question 4
The audience seemed to really enjoy our music video apart from the little blip in in. The audience feedback we recieved was quite positive. Below are two feedback videos I have chosen:
One think which Nick commented on was the performance, this is actually something we went back and re-recorded to improve it as it wasn't as good as it is now. He also mentions the over the shoulder shot, which was also another shot which we went back and filmed.
Personally I think there could have been improvements, however most of the major flaws, we suffered at the start, we went back and ironed them out. I think the last shot of her standing in the leaves for example would have been better if they came from both sides. Also i would have planned better, as most of the shots were filmed on the day and not planned in advanced. This would of allowed us to spend less time filming day after day with useless footage and it would of meant more time in the editing suite.
The shots im most proud of is the jump cuts and the shot where the surrounding around Yumi is sped up.
As for my digipack people said they really liked it, especially the track listing layout as it's in a polaroid style. They saw the link between the video and the album cover, the guitar being the common factor between the two.
Some wernt so keen on the colour, but i explained that i chose brown as it was neutral and the colour's meaning.
If i could improve my digipack i would take the photos myself and make sure thats there's not alot of shadow in the image as it looks really bad on the CD cover. Also making sure that the background is contrasted with the colour of the outfit as this would make it easier when using the magic wand tool.
The video is not uploading, however here is the link to the video feedback:

The review of my advert was quite good aswell as people saw the connection between the CD and poster as the same colours and fonts were used throoughout. They also picked up on the star ratings which gave them an idea of what the music industry thought of the album.
Although they liked it i would have changed the picture, looking back i dont think it looks as nice. Also where the album title and name is, i would have liked to place it somewhere else as i feel its not best suited there. From feedback they said I could of filled the gap with some informtion as it looks bare.

What have You Learned from Audience Feedback?
After watching mine and everybody else's music video in the cinema, I asked a couple of people what they thought about our music video and this is what they said:
After watching mine and everybody else's music video in the cinema, I asked a couple of people what they thought about our music video and this is what they said:
I asked what Faysal from the other class about what he thought about our work:
What did you like about it?
"I liked how there were different interpretations of the artist. It showed clearly how she was in search of finding who she is and the fact that she was in different outfits showed me that she was going through different looks to find who she is. I also like the scene when she is singing in front of the sun and when the camera hits the sun, it gives it that glare look".
What did you not like about it?
"There was only one small pause during when she was singing outside the building with the tinted windows. Even though it was small pause, being in the cinema it made it look big and dramatic, so maybe you should have checked the whole video out first when you were about to finish editing. Also, in some scene there were times when the artist lip syncing did not go in time with the song".
What should I have done differently?
"You should have spent more time recording because there were mistakes with your lip syncing. When recording, you should have taken your time and been patient because it felt that you were rushing some of the recording like when you were recording in her room and some times she was out of place with the lyrics. If you were to have done it again differently, you should have planned it more and thought exactly what you were going to do when you were recording".
I asked what Julien from the other class about what he thought about our music music video:
What did you like about it?
"Well firstly I really like the song because it wasn't too slow and it was very powerful. The scene that I really loved and the one that worked for me was the Jump Cut scene because it was very effective and it didn't look dodgy in anyway. I also really loved this scene because not only was it shot nicely, it clearly showed, accompanied by the lyrics of the artist state of mind and how she is feeling at this point. I felt sympathy because it looked like she was going crazy because she was jumping around, standing or sitting everywhere".
What did you not like about it?
"There was a scene when she was singing outside this tinted building where the camera was an over the shoulder shot, the camera felt a bit shaky and the shot didn't show much of the artist, it looked like yo couldn't keep up with her. Also, very embarrassingly, there was a huge pause during this scene - a glitch that showed you didn't really edit it properly, that you were being careless. ".
What should I have done differently?
"The thing that you should have done differently if you had the chance was to foolproof what you did before handing in your work. You should have also given yourself plenty of time to plan what you were going to do, practise the shots before heading to your location to film and you should have taken your time. There were some scene that felt too rushed or undone, its because you rushed it or just didn't perfect it. In my opinion, the music video is good, but it felt t could have been more better if you took care of it and made sure you put enough time and effort into it".
I asked Ayub what he thought about our music video:
What did you like about it?
"I liked how you thought about how your artist was going to look like from the beginning, middle and end and the effect of her losing her identity though the reflection of what she was wearing showed very powerfully of how she was losing herself, illustrating the message of the song. Also what i liked about your video was that it was different from everyone else's, your location, mise en scene and costume was different from everyone else's".
What did you not like about it?
"In some of the scenes, it looked a bit too rushed, as if there was no thought into what was going to come next, that you sort of just mushed any scene together - it felt rushed. Maybe if you took more time editing and less time filming on days that you were meant to be editing, this problem may never had risen. There are some good points like the high angle shots except that it was too shaky, and yes its understandable to get this shot smoothly because you were struggling but maybe you should have not gone with this shot and done something else".
What should I have done differently?
"The thing that you should have done differently if you were given the time was to plan very thoroughly the intended shots that you wanted and see if it is possible to do these shots smoothly and not shakily. Also, you should have spent more time focusing on the planning because some scenes felt like rushed and not thought out properly like when she is walking outside of the tinted building".
focussing when you are editing. Another thing is the importance of planning and knowing exactly what shot you want to film. I f I was to film this project again, i would spend a heck of a lot of time planning and detailing each shot and the intended effect it should have on the audience. I should have spent as much time with the filming of the jump cuts to all the other scenes because apparently it shows that the best filming was when it looked effortless like the jump cut scene.
Faysal's comments on my Advertisement:
What do you like about my Advertisement?
"I like how it is presented on screen because it look very attractive and the digipak doesn't seem to overpower the aesthetics of the advert. I also like the image because it is very pleasant to look at because of the smile".
What do you not like about my Advertisement?
Yumi herself is shouting at you!.
"Just remove the exclamation mark and just have the letter 'I' as normal, then there won't be no misunderstanding".
Julien's comments on my Advertisement:
What do you like about my Advertisement?
"What I really love about your Advert is that you have included the necessities like the critiques and the how many stars its has been awarded to persuade the audience of why they should buy her digipak. I also love that you have included a 'qr code' on the Advert as many people these days have smart phones so they can just scan it and buy it from there phone".
What do you not like about my Advertisement?
"I think you packed in too much information at the bottom with where you can buy her digipak and the other information like the website and what it includes. Maybe you should have used the whole of the space on the advert".
How can I improve/do differently?
"Use the space effectively and remove some of the brands where you can get the digipak from".
Ayub's comments on my Advertisement:
What do you like about my Advertisement?
"I really love how you are able to persuade the audience in buying her digipak by giving more to their money's worth by adding in her website details so they can see back stage interviews and gossip".
What do you not like about my Advertisement?
"The only problem is that it looks like an advert that you might find in a magazine and not on a billboard".
How can I improve/do differently?
"I think that if you focused on creating a billboard advert, then maybe you could have added more stuff and spread it out evenly so that people can read it without squinting there eyes".
What I have learnt from the audience feedback on the advert is that what i think the intended effect on the advert migt not come across to other people like her name. There was a bit of a confusion in how to pronounce it, people thought it meant something else. I think that if I was to do the advert again, that i should try it out first and see what feedback i get from the class and then finalise the ideas.
Faysal's comments on my digipak:
What do you like about my digipak?
"I really love the idea of having the fronyt and back cover brushed over by colour because its very unique and it look very striking. I like how the colours bring out her personality - she looks like she is happy and wants to have fun".
What do you not like about my digipak?"I don't like the fact that you added a musical note at the back cover because it makes it look childish and loses focus on the aesthetic of the digipak".
How can I improve/do differently?
"I think you should remove that musical note because it doesn't fit in nicely with the digipak".
Julien's comments on my digipak:
What do you like about my digipak?
"I like how the how the colours stay true to how she actually looks like because otherwise, you could have made it look completely different. I like the colours used and how consistent they are with each other.
What do you not like about my digipak?
"I think the inside might be a bit plain because there isn't anything in there except the image of the artist sitting down".
How can I improve/do differently?
Maybe you should have added an effect in the inside images even though i know you wanted it to be natural looking".
Ayub's comments on my digipak:
What do you like about my digipak?
"I really love the simplicity of the front cover by just having the image of the artist next to the side. Its really effective, especially with the shadow behind her".
What do you not like about my digipak?
"I don't like the inside of the digipak because it feels out of place with the front and back, maybe you should have coloured it in or used other colours to colour them in".
How can I improve/do differently?
"Maybe change the image inside of the digipak so that it compliments the front and back".
What I have learnt from the audience feedback on the digipak is that every panel should look and feel consistent with each other, complimenting each other with the front cover being the more dominant, more persuasive and powerful enough to make people reach out and buy it. I have learnt that being creative with your designs can make or break your product, and in my case it made it unique. I can see that the audience feedback is very positive with the colour idea but wants it to be consistent with the inside panels because it looks and feels empty.
What did you like about it?
"I liked how there were different interpretations of the artist. It showed clearly how she was in search of finding who she is and the fact that she was in different outfits showed me that she was going through different looks to find who she is.

Question 4
I have had really good feedback after our music video being watched by my fellow media peers.
Above is a link to the actual music video
As soon as our music video finished we had a round of applause which is the first good sign. So i felt that i had done a good job including my group. So now to get the real feedback from the audience. I got a few quick interviews done by me of my friends who also watched the music video. And i have to say the feedback was fantastically positive.

| Me and my peers at the cinemas |
Above are two recordings of some feedback from other media students who were present at the cinemas. After going through those two video's one of the things that were favoured by the audience was the different costumes that we decided to have the artist wear. That makes me think glad of that specific idea my group and i came up with.
This is just some feedback from some friends who have also watched the music video by logging into vimeo, they gave me their feedback through the use of Blackberry messenger.
So here is just some of my feedback.
So what would i do differently after hearing all this feedback?
Looking back at the making of the music video i think the first thing i would like do differently is put more time into the making of it. We only filmed in the space of 2 days because we had to give back the cameras. I think because we would film more on the difference on the costume and try to emphasise that she is some way an out caste.
http://goanimate.com/movie/0EXVAWPew3ss?utm_source=linkshare&uid=0_ST__spZEBw
Above is just a link to an animate video which has feedback on digipak. Ok! So the only minor little problem i had was my digipak apparently doesn't clearly show any link between the music video and the digipak. However my video explains my opinion on that this is on another post called question 4 part 2
I did get some opinions on my digipak, such as 'Fahmida your digipak seems quiet plain'. After hearing that I do see my digipak in a different light, if i had the chance to do it again I would probably use different shades of colour in order to attract the buyers attention. However the reason to why I picked those colours was because it reflects the kind of mood the music brings, which is quiet calm. And those colours that i have chosen do reflect it.
So here is just some of my feedback.

So coming to an end to this last question, i would have to say the work i have done has had positive amount of responses to it. And i feel i have accomplished my taste in an efficient way, howevev i do feel i could have done more in order to attain much better comments.
WELL DONE TO ME !!!!

Be a popstar
This is a scrapbook i found on beeclip related to being a pop star. When reading it, it made me think about if we met this criteria and I think we did.
I think Yumi defiantly had fun while filming. This is the spinning close up in the video where we spun her around in a trolley with the camera mounted on it.
Although much wasn't done with Yumi's hair, she had fun with the make up. In this picture we can see the extravagant eyelashes and the heavy black make up around the eyes.
And Yumi's personality came across in her performance.
So we can say Yumi was a great pop star =D

Evaluation question 1
My music video doesn't really challenge the ideas of any music video which use the conventional ideas in order for it to fullfil it purpose of promoting the artist. For example my music video has continuous shots of the artist in order to promote the artist this is typically done in real music videos. Another thing is that the camera moves in time with the music, now most likely every music video made does this, and this is just another form of music video convention.
Why i included somethings on my CD
I added a QR code as most people now have a smartphone, so by scanning this hey can access the website and additional features.
The layout of the back cover has the track names in a polaroid type style. I chose this as i thought it was created and related to the songs as the songs are related to the singer's life and photos capture a moment in a persons life.
I added a heart in love as this was not only related to the title of the album but it added more of a personal touch. The heart was also carried through on the 'I' of Yumi and on the CD inside the case.
As the album is titled Love i include a quote that i found about love, 'Love is the beauty of the soul', as the album is mainly targeted at girls/ women they might find this as a nice little touch.
The colour brown is a calm colour and not too 'stand-outish', also brown is supposed to connotes supplying a feeling of wholesomeness, which is what the album could give to listeners.

When thinking of ideas of what my digipack could look like I was trying to think of as many creative ideas as possible.
Some that I came up with were:
An Andy Warhol inspired design of the Yumi’s face
Two halves of Yumi’s face (one side with make up the other side without)
A collage of different pictures making Yumi’s face.
I really wanted to do the collage idea as i would it would be a challenge too make, but I wouldn't of been able to complete in the time, we had to complete our ancillary products in.

Do's and Dont's when making ancillary products
When making our digipacks there were some do's and don'ts we were giving, this was to help us make a successful and professional looking digipack.
Use a clear font - this is a given so it can be easily read
Use clear photos
Be careful where the font is positioned
Use an appropriate colour
Use appropriate logos and position them correctly
Use layer styles
Use a font just because you like it
Place text on the artists face
Stretch images
I think the do's and dont's are really helpful, espically the ones about fonts as when making my digipack i found that the fonts that i 'liked' didn't usually work with the product. Also instead of stretching the image cropping it.
