Changing of ideas

So me and my group (George Atkinson and Tom Riches) have decided to change from our original idea. This is because after our audience research and secondary research, we realised that this idea that we had wouldn't fit together, so I suggested we make a video about why we changed it, and here it is.

This is my group music video analysis for 'Trap Queen' by Fetty Wap - I think we chose to analyse this song because it is so popular at the moment and therefore must have some interesting conventions to make it so interesting - Thanks for watching!

Digipak analysis

This is my 6 digipak's that I have analysed! This is just a start but it was really interesting to see how the genre and audience affect the digipak as this is the initial marketing of the music. I think as soul music, my closest representation of this was the 'Miseducation of  Lauryn Hill', however this was unique in itself. My favourite one out the five was the front cover from 'Two Door Cinema Club' however I thought the original digipak for crazy was also very good. It was extremely eye-catching and gave off a good message.

Treatment Prezi

This is our treatment for our idea which explains our initial idea and goes into it in slight detail, I did this for my group. We will be presenting this in the next few days to our classmates and hopefully be getting some relevant feed back on it. After doing our first part of audience research, we decided to change our idea because people were expecting something a lot different to what we were suggesting, therefore to make sure we can reach our target audience we needed to readjust.

Audience Research

My group yesterday interview five of our peers for audience research. I have posted the questions earlier on my blog as we had pre-planned. The feedback we got is that the current video for Gnarls Barkley was very different to how people expected it. From also this feedback we have changed our idea for our video, as we had a lot of mixed review. However this will be explained later in another blog post. 

We are currently filming out audience analysis and research, but our group also made a survey monkey questionnaire to get an even larger range of opinions and views - here is the link for the survey monkey.

This is our video analysis for the video 'Rude' by Magic. I think it was a very good idea doing it on a video using a mind map because we got a range of different ideas from our team.

These are the brief few questions we thought would be effective when asking the public about our video ideas -

Media – Audience Research Video

1.       What is your favourite genre of music?

2.       What is your favourite song?

3.       What do you expect to see in a music video? Performance or narrative?

4.       Listen to this song, do you like it and what do you expect to see in Gnarls Barkley’s music video?  

5.       Watch some of the video, and tell us what you think.

6.       Listen to our idea and please can we have your opinion.

7.       Do you think the performance of Jamal and romance work well together?

This our pre-visualisation task, I drew out the individual scenes and George Atkinson then processed them onto the power point which help makes the scenes a lot more clearly visual, espicially with the key we have added at the bottom.
