Evaluation of AS Blog

By
The overall feel of our blogging was that it was what brought our marking down, we failed to produce many marketing products to couple with our actual film opening product. This brought our marks down both in the evaluation and planning phases. Another thing that we definitely need to improve on is to broaden our range of media uses for our blog. We only used writing on the blog and occasionally coupled with pictures, but no real change in forms of media. We could have used forms such as video or perhaps just sound (podcast).

Our film opening products itself we thought was very good, although we had plans to make it even better, we failed to add the finishing ideas on to it because we ran out of time. However, we still feel that we did a very good job with our product and we are mostly pleased with the result. We felt that we utilized all the aspects that we had such as location, editing, conventions and camerawork. Combining all of these together, we felt we made a very effective film opening that we were happy with. We hope that we can transfer the skills that we applied well to our current project. A slight issue is that the genre and pace of this new video we have to create is vastly more different than our AS production, therefore we will need to ensure that we are aware of all the new codes and conventions for a lively music video rather than a slow and creepy horror film opening.

Todorov's Narrative Theory

By
There are 5 stages to a narrative (story) and Todorov states that every plot tends to follow said stages. These include: Equilibrium: The start of the narrative. Typically it shows a world with little to no disturbances and usually shows a happy beginning. Disruption: Then the plot takes a turn and there is a certain part of the narrative that ends up taking the story into disruption. Realisation of the Disruption: The characters in the narrative will then become aware of the disruption mentioned previously. They tend to take action or plan to take action as soon as they realise what is going on. Process of restoring the equilibrium: The plot then follows the main character(s) trying to combat the disturbance and they aim to restore the world to what it was (it's original equilibrium). Restored Equilibrium: At the end of the narrative the world is back to normal and normality can resume once more.

There is currently no feedback on our music video as well as the digipak and the website. The only communication we have with our audience is from a survey about music videos in general. We learnt that our main audience were teenagers that mostly all agreed that music videos made songs much better. This is good news for us, as we have picked a genre of song (hip-hop/rap) that generally appeals to a younger target audience Results also show that they thin the main purpose of a music video is to entertain, as a result, we have attempted to make the music video as entertaining as possible. We did this through trying to make it aesthetic as well as relatable. The survey also shows that people think aesthetics is also very important, therefore we tried to focus on some interesting shots in our music video to try and match what people think.  Results also indicate that our audience tend to enjoy both music videos with narrative and performance at the same time. As a...

Intended Institution Analysis

By
This is a post that explains what intended institution we will want to have. This consists of the TV institution in which we would like the music video to be presented on. A lot has to be taken into account when choosing the TV station, this would consist of the kind of viewers that watch the stations. For example it would be a bad idea to have the music video shown on a classical music channel when the target audience for the video is between 16-30 aged people. also the viewers of that channel would most likely not like the video so therefore it would get bad reviews and a name. Will and i have chosen to use the TV channel 'VEVO' to present our video as this is a well known music channel and the majority of viewers of the channel are within our target audiences ages. this would be a very effective channel to use as it would most likely get out to the intended audience and also would act as a way of getting the video some popularity and feedback from the audience.
