A2 Media Studies Evaluation

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

In this video we discuss the main media technolgies

we used in all stages of our project. We discuss 5 main technolgies:

final cut (editing the music video), Photoshop (editing subsidiary tasks,

the internet (mainly research), and greenscreening, and explain how

we used them, why we used them and how they enhanced our

project

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

In this video, we discuss how we attempted to combine our music video, digipak and print advert/poster together in order to attract and suit our target audience.

Some of the pictures we didn't use for our digipak or advert.

Here are links that will take you to our full digipak:

Unfortuently some of the links dont seem to be clickable, but if you copy and paste they will work.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

This video involves us talking about how we have both followed and broken conventions of music videos in order to make an interesting video which targets the correct audience and discuss the effect these have on our video.

her stand our as she should have.

our cast to wear.

What did you learn from your audience feedback?

This video begins with our focus group watching our completed music video, then moves on to us questioning them on certain aspects of the video, focusing on target audience, genre and tone.

A collection of the questionnaires we

received after the focus group.

Another band which uses Youtube as

their main source of promoting their videos is

The Midnight Beast. The Midnight Beast have a similar target audience that we were aiming for, which suggests by placing the videos on YouTube, we should hopefully reach are target audience as this band does so successfully.

EVALUATION

Thankyou for taking the time to look at my Prezi! :)

The left hand of the picture is blurred

The picture is blurred

The pose wasn't interesting enough.

The left band member seems to far away from the others

Clothing was natural and everyday wear.

The lines are not parallel

Including beer cans and dj decks gave connotations of youth and fun.

Including instruments signified an indie genre.
