FINSIHED
It has been extremely stressful If I must say so! I am glad i've finished and I hope all the hard work pays off in the end. I feel like I have learnt a lot on the way during the process- skills including my presentational skills and my ability to organise using a number of different media technologies such as slideshare and Prezi.
Evaluation question 1
As the song we chose to do was by Rita Ora I decided that it would be really beneficial for me to watch her previous songs as they often have similar styles in which is effectively presented through her music videos. Similarly, the songs I have chosen above; (Rita Ora), 'I will never let you down' and 'Hot right now' are both of the British Pop genre that I am working on. Furthermore, as a pop based genre, both videos follow the conventions successfully. Regarding that, I got my main sources of inspiration from watching the video above; they helped me to get a much better understanding of how pop music videos are presented and how they differ from the other music genres; Rock, R&B, soul and Reggae.
A really useful aspect of the videos above that have influenced in the final process and production of my music video project was through the use of editing, camerawork and the visual style. This is because I studied and done research on theories relating to the music production and representation.
I tried to follow the conventions of a pop music video hence incorporating elements which feature in all music videos such as through the use of costume which is evident in the music video; the synergy and motif of blue, thus including blue coloured costume. As well as that, Goodwin's theory of having close ups are shown in the video. This effectively shows and introduces the artist to the audience; this was an effective technique to follow as not only did it follow and present the theory it worked well as the artist is new hence this applying directly to the audience. As well as that, it also linked to Vernallis' theory of music videos constructing on a variety or different shot types, camera angles and editing techniques. The close up shot above not only presents a shot type but only follows Mulvey's theory of the male gaze in which the close up shot of the artist' lips successfully representing that. The different angle shot; wide shot, in comparison to the close up shot of the artist also shows that Vernalliis' theory was followed.
Evaluation: Question 4
Audience feedback was very effective as it helps improve the final outcome that the group achieves as it gives you an insight on what the audience actually want to see.
Evaluation: Question 3
HOW DID YOU USE MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH AND PLANNING AND EVALUATION STAGES?
This TimeToast is a timeline of how as a group and individually we have used technology throughout research, planning, production and evaluation. Having all the technology to hand is important as without technologies such as Twitter, Instagram, Blogger, Photoshop, Youtube and a Video camera we as a group would not have been able to create our main and ancillary texts.
This an animatic which is a form of one of the most effective technology we used throughout the planning process to visually display to out audience throughout the pitch on how we would like our video to look at the finished result.

Evaluation : Question 4
Evaluation 4 :
"What have you learned from your audience feedback?"
Audience feedback is a important aspect when making a music video or even making something in general as it allows you receive the strengths and weakness of your work and allows to make change or improvement .
Rough Cut Feedback :
Here are some screenshots of these feedbacks ob a blog and written up !
After this feedback , i focus on this audience feedback , which is shown in my animoto
Audience feedback was also very important at the end of my music video which i made a short documentry on a day our music videos were screened :
The most important feedback for me was when we first introduced our rough cut to our class , i decided to analyse one or two comments made by my peers where i posted my notes through an App on iPhone called ABC Notes :
here is a quick youtube video of how my products changed in light of audiences feedbacks:
As well as my music video , i also got feedback from my ancillary work :
