What have you learned from your audience feedback?
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
I posted my rough cut video and finished video on youtube to gather audience feedback. I then could gather what people thought of them both publicly and could see the transformation from rough cut to final. As I had to change my original ideas last minute to then go and produce the music video on my own, there were generally comments saying how I could improve my video that I did agree with. I had comments from viewers such as 'The costumes that each character wore were plain.' This is down to timing issues and last minute preparation, that if I planned my time properly I could have thought a lot more about the costumes that my characters wore. Another comment that has been made throughout my video is that the story line was out of sync and sometimes confusing to follow. This again linked with the costumes I could have portrayed the characters and narrative easier and more understandable for the viewer to follow and connect with. However their was positive feedback also, with comments such as ‘the lip syncing was almost spot on throughout the song by both of the female characters’ this was important as if the lips weren’t in sync then the flow of the song would be dropped and not look professional. I also had comments that ‘it was good that you used different scenery throughout your video’. As I started filming in a house and then brought the mood to the beach, I hoped that it would let the narrative flow better and people would have an idea of the story of the female running away from being abused by the male characters, although some viewers didn’t understand this and as a result got lost in the style of the song and mood I was trying to create. Positive feedback also came from the editing part of my video. ‘Fast cuts and beats to the music linked with the cuts to your video’. This was a positive comment as I found the editing of my video the hardest part of the project and tried to cut each change in pace in the song to what was happening in my video, also trying to keep the narrative alive. I think I did this well as I chose the song that was a remix to the original song, this could have gone badly but from my audience feedback I feel although I could have done better on some parts of the video. The transformation from the rough cut to the final video was also commented on as some said 'The final version was a lot smoother and cut out the bits that weren't necessarily needed'. This is a positive comment as you can see the progress that I had made from rough to final cut, as I added the black and white effect to make sure the viewer could make out it was a flash back in the characters life of what had happened and why the females were running away. I think in general the feedback was promising and productive.
I have also added a pie chart to show some questions that I asked the people who viewed my final video.

Advertisement
This is my finished design for my advert, I have chose to use the two main girl characters as the background of the advert and added black and white effects to the images so they blend in and don't take the view away from the writing which is the main focus of the advert to tell people what its about. I have chosen the two images of the girls looking depressed and upset to co-ordinate with the title of the song 'Bruised Water'. The pink text for the name of the artists and the date the song is released I used bolded thick font to make it stand out, but also to make the advert feminine and appeal to females and males. I have added the title of the song to the front of the advert and made it stand out by using the different shades of blue to link again with 'Bruised Water'.

Digipack Front and back Final
This is the final design for my digipack front and back of it. I have used the background of water to relate to the song choice I chose and I have used sufficient images of each character from my video to add effect and originality to the digipack. I have also added a title to the album named 'raindrops' in curved blue writing to in corporate with the theme and style of the whole pack and also advertisement, this adds to the feel of the song also with the blue adding to the whole effects together of the music video package of it and linking in with the title of the song 'bruised water'. I have added the images of the girls smiling on the bottom left of the digipack to show show the transition of them being happy to the situation that they're in in the video itself, giving the narrative a better meaning. With the pictures along the right hand side, I have smudged them all together to add the effect that their all interlinked and create meaning by showing that the song has a hidden meaning around it. The block pink writing gives a feminine feel to the digipack and I wanted the names of the artists to stand out, however the song can be aimed at both males and females because the genre of the song is dance and quite upbeat.
I have also kept the back of the digipack in the same theme as the front in corp-orating the same background and text styles. I have also added the name of the album 'Raindrops' again to the back of the pack so the customer will know the album name and also the songs that are on it. I have chosen to have ten songs on my CD as albums usually have around that number of songs on. The writing of the song names again have kept to the same theme although being a slightly darker blue so it doesn't clash with the background or take away any of the attention from the front of the digipack.
Overall I think that my digipack has turned out quite well as I have thought of ideas and themes to link with both my music video and advertisement and kept the same images and text throughout them all.

Inside of digipack final
This is the final version of the inside of my CD cover. I have used the images of candles for the left side of the cover, as this relates to my video and mood I generally wanted to catch. I have kept with the same colour schemes and format of text as that is what people will be looking for in a digipack from any artist in this industry. I have also added again the images of the two girls on the left hand side to keep the focus on them as they are the main focus of the song and advertisement.
