Evaluation 3

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 result, we have parts of our music video that show some loose narrative and we also have parts of our music video that is a performance (lip syncing segments). What is also important is that most of our audience agrees that a music video doesn't have to have a high budget in order to be successful. This is good news for us, as we do not have a lot of money to spend on the creation of our music video and it is good to know that people may enjoy it in spite of it not being invested in very heavily financially.
Overall we received lots of verbal feedback from the pupils at the school and other teachers around the school that we had shown. Overall the feedback come down to making the music video more fast paced due to the fact that there were a lot of long clips during the video. The reason for this is that the common music videos have quick clips that enable lots to be shown to the audience in a short period of time and therefore forces them to engage more with the video and consequently become more involved.

As well as the contrast between the two stories was apparently confusing for the viewing audience. They said that this is due to the fact that it is the same actor and also two completely different settings for the video to take place. However after a short explanation of the two time frames the audience were able to understand what was going on. Will and I added close up facial expressions for the actor for a way of enabling the audience to see how the actor is feeling in the different settings.

Codes and Conventions of a music video

Lip Syncing A common part of a music video would be the artist or actor within the video lip syncing during the song. Lip syncing is when the artist or an actor in the video matches their mouth movements with the lyrics to the song to appear as if they are singing it. This could be the chorus or random parts within the song. The lip syncing can be done at anytime during the song there is no codes and conventions which show that the lip syncing would commonly be done at certain points. Artist Appearance It is very likely that the artist will make an appearance during the video, this is shown through a small appearance like ed sheerans music video for A team. Or it could be an appearance like Beyonce in single ladies. this allows the viewers of the music video to recognize who the artist is and also if the video becomes a success the artist is more widely recognized. An example of an artist that does not appear in their music videos would be Avicci as he does not show his face in his...
