Evaluation Question 4.

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

When creating my media products i uses lots of different technologies.

Such as Final cut express and live type these two whcih I used to edit and put together my music video. I used live type to have lyrics appear on screen.

I also used programmes like pages and adobe photoshop to create my CD digi-pack and music magazine. I used pages as the template for my CD digi-pack and used photoshop to edit the images that went into my digipack also to create my magazine advert.

To research information for my media product i used different things like google to collect information. And youtube to research my bands previous music videos to see how i could create mine.

Evaluation Question 3.

What have you learned from you audience feedback?

From doing different things to get audience feedback such as a questionaire or asking people on there opinions on my products. Most of my feedback i have got back said that the music video links to the band and the genre of rock. I also quized people on my digipack and my magazine advert and asked them if they could see them as one of the bands actuall ones most of the answers was yes at least 9/10. I also found when people watched my music video they laughed alot due to the content this was a big plus i got from the audience.

I feel with my audience feedback i have been able to make my products a well rounded products to create the piece's that the audience's would want and expect.

Evaluation Question 2.

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancilliary texts?

I feel my CD digipack fills its purpose perfectly dueto the fact it tells you what the album is and theband is. I also feel that the digipack followsconventions of normal CD cases. Prior to thisresearched exsisting CD case designs by myartist and created my design along the lines ofa normal rock album. My digipack also links to the magazine advert aswell because due to the guitar images. All of my products link because they have a rock genre. I also feel that my CD digipack links and works perfectly to fit in with the audience of my band. This would be aimed at 15-21 year olds of the rock music pursuasion.I feel the pictures on the CD case look great due to theguitar and drum sticks link to rock music.

I feel my digipack links to my music video links because due to the drumsticks and guitars that feature on the digipackare also in the start of my music video. I feel my magazine advert also links perfectly to my music video and digipack due to the images of guitars and such. However it also links due to the reason that they all fit the rock genre. I feel my magazine advert would be perfect for my target audience due to the reason that the images are young and funky and all link to the genre.

Evaluation Question 1.

In what ways do your music video, CD digipack and music magazine advertisement use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real music videos, CD digipacks and magazine advertisement?

I feel my music video does conform to normal music video's due to the fact that it has a story music video. The music video also links too the rock genre due to the outfits my actors wore such as skinny jeans and black hoodies.

However due to the happyness of my rock music video. This does not really link to the genre of rock. Due to the fact that usually rock video's are different to my one. I also feel it takes the mick out of the song in some ways such as instead of the induendoes its a comical lollipop hunt music video.

I feel my CD digipack conforms with normal music videos because the pictures on the cd case link and are much like the cd cases of my band from previous albums. I feel my music CD digipack would do exactly what is needed by displaying the album and drawing attension to the CD.

I also feel my magazine advert conforms and challenges the normal conventions of a magazine advert such as the advert has normal things on such as the front of the CD case also the date of release and websites. I also feel it challenges the conventions due to the fact that instead of one picture on the advert it was a mixture of different pictures to display the album name which is memorys.

My music video also conforms to usual music videos such as lip syncing and camera shots also mise-en-scene which all of these different things link my music video to normal conventions of normal music videos. Also with lyrics appearing of the screen.
