Evaluation 3. Audience research

I decided to ask some friends what they thought of our video


I also took a screenshot of the comments we had on youtube, we also have 358 views so far which is quite good

Evaluation 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


I've chosen to take 9 key screen shots

1. This shot is an important part of our storyline as it shows that the main character gets bad grades in the         beginning of the video and then to improve.
2. The beginning of video has shots where it shows the main character being unhappy, sad and on the verge of giving up, this shot shows the main character walking sadly, the camera is on the side to show little control over his life.
3. This shot shows the main character getting surgery shooting over the shoulder from the female in the video, this is the only time they are both in a shot together in the film to show the 'distance between the two. This is similar to what is used by Tinie Tempah, shown in a screenshot underneath.

4. In this part of the video there is slow motion as the music is quite slow, the shot is of the main character getting more enthusiastic walking into a classroom to study.
5. This shot shows a shadow of the female in the parts where she sings as the main character is studying, this is key as she is the motivation throughout the whole video for the main character to improve, the way we put her in shows that he thinks of her, this is also used in the screenshot shown underneath from areal media product.
6. In this shot The main character is shown as happy because he has completed his training for the final exams, the girl is edited in aswell, we put the text in front to show he is finally 'the wonderman' like in the original wonderman video.
7. This shot is toward the end of the video of the main character rapping on an open field, this is a key part of the video as he has finally finished his 'objective'
8.  This is a shot of the main character after he got his exam results, he is coming out of a classroom where he got his A+ looking happy and celebrating as oppose to the beginning when he was in the same area but sad.
9. This is a shot of the character getting yet another A+ key screen shot as it shows his A+  and the teacher clapping him on the shoulder, this shows acknowledgement of his hard work.


As you can see in the pictures above real media products tend to use the same characteristics for their video as we have.

Ancillary task preparation 3. Difference between Digipaks and cd cases




As you can see above a digipak consists of six pages which gives the audience a better first impression of the cd as they get to see more of what the content might be rather than a cd where you can basically just see the cover where there is just one picture.
