4.Evaluation

For that task I used Wix, which I have never used before. It was relatively easy to use and it made my evaluation more interesting.

3.Audience Feedback

Through uploading our final music video onto websites such as Youtube and Facebook, we got some really useful comments on how we could improve our video.

Some of the of the notes people made we already new we should have done differently such as using the tripod in order to make the shots more stable.

However, some people recognised the bad lip synchronisation although we put the clip with the write lip synchronisation on top of it. I believed that with the clip on top people would pay more attention to the big lips in the foreground rather than the whole actor in the back. That was a very important point and we would strongly consider it if we would have to recreate the video again.

What I found rather confusing was that some of my friends who watched the video did not understand the storyline. I though we made it quite clear through the different lighting that it was supposed to be a flashback. Although I thought we pointed it out clearly enough we should have introduced the flashback through fading it in more obviously.

Most of the people picked up on the sepia effect, which we used throughout the video. It created exactly the mood I wanted to.

Most of the audience members who watched our music video only picked up positive aspects, which was very uplifting and we also learnt from those comments as well.

Most of the people who added a comment on Facebook were my friends from Austria. I was excited what they would say as they are not familiar with the media subject and therefore see it from a very different angle than the people from school. What surprised my though was that they picked up things such as that the transition was very smooth in our video and hardly recognisable for them. In addition they appreciated the sepia effect of our production and they thought it created a very special mood.

5.CD Advert

This is our advert we created. We based it on the idea of the old CD cover from the album "Everything All The Time", which means we mirrored the picture of our main actor. The background is also chosen carefully as we thought the we should reflect nature in our background as well. We also through we are going to reflect the trees instead of the sun because the sun has been in the movie and the digipak so we thought we should show our actor combined with something different referred to nature. It might seem that we did not consider synergy when we made the advert, however we used the the same font, which we also used in the digipak.

4. Flat Plan of CD Advert

For the CD advert we will choose a shot from our music video as we thought we should include our lead singer in our product as well and he would help us to sell the CD's as he is kind of the image of the band. For this task we are not going to use Aperture and bright colors but more the the natural colors, which were used in the music video as they are very important and give something special to our video.
