First Draft/Final Version Music Video

This is a video I have created, showing the first draft of my music video before I put it into After Effects, and the final version of my video, I think this is interesting to show the changes and improvements I have made.

This week I have been working towards my evaluation, I have been gathering clips together that I will use for my evaluation as I want to make it as media-animated as possible.
   I have also been working towards getting all my audience feedback together, I let people view my work and make comments so I could see them next to my print work, this was really helpful and I can now include this in my evaluation.
  I now have 2 weeks to complete all my coursework.

Draft/Written Evaluation

A2 Evaluation

This is the complete transcript of my evaluation, there are four questions which I plan to show separately on my blog and use as much media- influence in the evaluations as I can.

Audience Feedback

I also got my friends to view my music video on Facebook, this was because all of my target audience are on this social networking site, and it was a different and interesting way to gain feedback! I also think it was good to put my music video onto Facebook as I believe its important to get feedback from audiences and see how people respond!

During this week, I have been trying to complete all my coursework, I am at the final stages of completeing everything now which is good,but am just trying to make sure everything is as good as it can be, I will be working on my evaluation till its all due in, my music video is just about done but I still need to export it, and upload it to my blog which is quite a hassle as its so big, it takes a long time and often crashes YouTube so I need to make it a smaller file.

During this week, I have been focusing on my evaluation. I have written a first draft and recorded most of this, I have since added some improvements to my evaluation and will be finishing recording this on monday.
  I have also been finishing off my music video, I exported my video and watched it back, finding a mistake I went back into After Effects and corrected this, this should be the final version now!
  Next week will be me working on my evaluation, finishing it off, getting all my blog up to date and complete, and then in a week all my coursework will be sent in!

This weekend I have spent a majority of my time working on my blog. I have been updating all my posts and making sure I have added all my work up to now. I also made a few more real life productions to show how my work would be advertised. I created a 'fake' Facebook Page for my artist, this is because my target audience would be at the age where they have Facebook, and they could then like the page and find out news, events, pictures etc to do with the artist! I made this on Facebook, creating a new account and then edited the figures on Photoshop, (like how many people had liked the page etc). I thought this was a good way to show my productions being advertised as social networking would be a huge part of attracting audiences!
   I have also worked more on my evaluation, I will continue with this tomorrow.

Audience Feedback for Music Video

We held a test screening for our music videos in class, this was really useful as it enabled me to get feedback from people and I showed the first draft of my music video, so there was a lot of room for improvement.

Examples of Print work In Real Life

Here is the HMV website, I edited on Photoshop to show my CD in the number 1 spot, and what it would look like in the charts

I also made a Facebook Page for my artist. This is because my target audience could then like the page and keep updated on the latest news etc. Below is what the page would look like if it was real-

Examples of Print work In Real Life

I have created several different places to advertise my digipack/magazine advert, this is to show my productions in more of a realistic way and to see what they could actually look like if real. I used Adobe Photoshop to make these.

 

Here my magazine advert is shown in a cinema, this would be shown before the film comes on.

Here my magazine advert is shown on a big billboard in the city, this would grab the audience's attention as it stands out.

Here my advert is advertised in the Underground, I decided to choose it here as lots of people use the London Underground and it would grab a variety of audiences to make aware of my artists CD

 

This is the Bus Poster I made, It features the same information that my magazine advert provided, but its a smaller version so it fits onto buses.

I have been working on my evaulation, and will be recording this as soon as possible. I have also been working on my print designs, putting them into different scenarios like tube stations, billboards and on buses, I created an additional poster to fit onto buses, and these will be on my blog!
  I am also showing my music video to my media class, where I can get some audience feedback, this will be on be blog soon!

Explanation of Music Video

This is a presentation I made, It explains audience, genre, theory, media language and representation all related to my music video!

During the last week, I have been finishing my music video in After Effects, after correcting the mistakes I made, I have left my video to export (which takes quite a long time!) and hopefully everything looks right and if I am happy with it, that will be the final version! :)
   I have also written two of my evaluation questions, I aim to have written it all by the weekend, so I can record it one day next week and then start putting it all together on Adobe Premiere, I want to make this as multi-media as possible and include as much as I can!

Second Draft Music Video

This is my second draft of my music video, its the version where I must have moved some clips on After Effects as some of the clips don't match the song timings, and some clips don't edit as smootly as I want, so this is the version before I had corrected these errors.

Editing my Music Video: Filters

I have also been using different filters on After Effects to see what looks best, I chose one called 'Blue Crush' which made every clip a little darker and more blue, this was so overall my video looked more professional as all the clips were in the same colour and had a constant theme. Below are pictures I have taken from my music video to show my music video after i've put in the filter:

During this week, I have been working on my music video in After Effects, this took a lot more time then I had planned, I didn't realise how many effects and just how much you could do on Adobe After Effects, so made the best out of it as I could! I have been watching tutorials such as 'video co-pilot' to help me with certain effects and tools, this has been really useful.
   I have almost finished, but when watching my draft of my music video, some clips had been moved so the singer wasn't in time with the song anymore, and I had missed some greenscreen shoots which went really fast, so by watching it properly I was able to note down these mistakes and I am now correcting them.

Final Magazine Advert

After getting feedback from my target audience, I changed and improved my magazine advert to what they wanted to see. I chose to make it a double page spread as I think my artist would be well known already, so by using a double page, it shows her status and importance. I also think it would be advertised in magazines such as Cosmo, Sugar, Teen Vogue, Elle and magazines similar to this, as these would be what my target audience would read.
