Beth Allen Advanced A2 Portfolio

Here is my final Evaluation Question 4, i chose to present this on Prezi as it was alot of information but its also a fun interactive set up to!

We've finally done!! the music video is finished and we couldn't be happier with the outcome! All our ideas have been incorporated into both the filming and the editing of the final music video and i think personally we've achieved exactly what we wanted. We have faced some tough moments like having weather disruptions in our filming schedule and illness but as a group we've got everything finished and on time, i am very happy with our finished media products and believe that we all worked extremely hard to get it the best it could possibly be, i think working in a group benifited all three of us as we all had our own ideas and by bringing them together it gave us a range of camera shots in the video and a range of editing techniques, we equally shared the pressure and the jobs so that no one felt overloaded with work and most of all we all helped eachother when we got stuck. So here's our final A2 Music Video, i hope you enjoy it!

We finally finished our website and it really fits with the look we were going for! We wanted to keep it simple and straight forward so it was easy to navigate for people. We also wanted to keep it in theme as the up and coming star so shes not going to have alot to show, im relly happy with the final outcome and hope you enjoy looking around!

We've finished our CD pack and insert booklet and are really proud and please with the turn out! its exactly what we envisioned and I feel like it really portrays the image we are going for in relation to our artist. We wanted to present the pack as one which the artist isn't very well known but is also very humble and down to earth and I think some of the shots we got in Hardwick really help to portray this as she isn't seen as a bold character.  This is our front cover for our album and we wanted a simple cover but one that could also make a statement. we thought the contrast of the camo jacket to the baby pink background was really effective as it makes Holly really stand out. As we are also aiming for a humble looking star we decided to have Holly looking away from the camera and we think it links well with the title 'Chapters' as we wanted it to be interpreted as her opening up to the fans in her songs and showing them the chapters she's lived. The ide...

Hi Everyone! Here's a little bit more information on the song we picked and the artist we picked, behind choosing our song was a lot of deliberation and it was a tough decision to narrow it down. We now believe that we've got the perfect song to portray our storyline perfectly!! We plan on using the lyrics to help explain the narrative we are going for and plan on matching the pacing of the song with the pacing of the videos we film in order to get the best possible turn out.

Here is our first audience feedback on our first draft, we interviewed a range of people just like we planned and I think it was very useful! First we chose to interview two teachers from school one male and one female. We chose our male teacher (Mr Newton) because we thought he would represent the rest of the viewers who may not essentially choose the video to watch because it isn't aimed at that audience so it was interesting to get some feedback from him and see how he received the narrative. Our second teacher (Miss Capper) we chose because she represented our top range of audience which was females around 24,25. We thought it would be really good to have someone represent the top end of our audience so we could see if all our targeted audience could relate and find interest in the video, and also to make sure we didn't put to much emphasis on the younger end of the audience. Our final choice of interview was with Olly, and we chose him because we thought it would be ...

After putting so much hard work and thought into the video we finally published our first draft and we are very happy with the result! Although it isn't finished yet we are going to gain some audience feedback from different people and see what they think to it and if they would suggest improvements. We feel like asking a range of people could help us to think of new ideas and the fact that some of the people we are deciding to ask are part of our target audience could help massively as they are who we want to impress essentially!!! So by getting their opinion we can infer how the audience may choose to use the video in relation to Bulmer and Katz reception theory and we can adapt it to the needs of the audience a bit more if needs be!

We've now handed in our first draft of the music video which means we need to now move on to looking at the evaluation of our video. In lesson we looked at how important it is to make sure our answers to the questions are varied in technological use. We plan to use the forms of vlogs and some written responses as well as looking at other new technologies we could use in order to make our answers as detailed as they could possibly be.  By gathering feedback from people at home and friends and family we can establish the positives and negatives towards the music video and hopefully change things in order to make the video better. We feel that by asking a range of ages we will get a varied response making it easier to aim it at our target audience because we can distinguish if we are attracting people that aren't necessarily in the age ranges we are targeting. I am really looking forward to gathering our first and secondary audience feedback because it means we can get cracki...
