Feedback On My Digipak and Magazine Advert

                 

For part of my research, I screened my album digipak and the magazine advert poster which advertises my digipak. I displayed these in front of my teacher and my classmates. Above are 2 feedback sheets from both my teacher and one of my classmates. What the majority of my classmates enjoyed about the digipak and the magazine poster was that: the background images were conventional for the genre of music for the artist, the poster was clean and simplistic and the colour schemes for both fitted. However, what they suggested to improve was to change the image on the second CD, make the barcode smaller on the advert, add colour on the top spines, make the social media smaller on magazine and to rearrange the layout on the poster. By taking the advice and improvements on board, I will ensure that my next version of both my digipak and my magazine poster will be up to the best standard possible. 

Feedback On The First Draft Music Video

                 

As part of feedback, we previewed the first draft of the music video to our classmates and our teacher. Above are 2 feedback sheets filled in, one from our teacher and one from our classmate. What I found and learned from the feedback was that people enjoyed the silhouette scenes within the video and enjoyed the lighting, transitions, the performance and the visuals. However, what they disliked and need improving was that it ends too abruptly, needs more emphasis on the lip sync, exaggeration on the performance is needed, needs more variety, the narrative needs more of an emphasis and more cinematography on the dance sequences. By taking the feedback on board, I will be able to improve upon my next draft for the music video and ensure that all things that the feedback said needs improving will be improved. 

Love In The Dark - First Draft

This is the first draft of the 'Love In The Dark' music video. After consistently staying behind to film and edit the music video, the first draft is complete. Although the first draft is missing the narrative and still needs more scenes, I will be creating a survey which asks my class members how they feel is the best way to convey and portray the narrative for my music video. 

Today I stayed inside during school by myself to edit the remains of the first draft for the music video. By using Final Cut Pro, I furthered my editing skills by including some graphic effects during the miming/lip-syncing scenes within the video. Now that there're no visible gaps left in the music video, the first draft is now complete. Although the first draft is complete, I am still aware that the video is essentially not finished as of yet but through the feedback I will be receiving from my teachers and my class members, I will be able to improve upon the first draft and ensure that the final version of the music video will be as best as it can possibly be.
