A2 Music Video Coursework: January 2012

Tuesday, 24 January 2012

Today we presented our music video to our media class for the first time.Though it was not completely finished, they viewed what we have done so far; then they gave us feedback by filling in sheets answering what was good about music video/what could be improved or what did not work at all. Overall, we were pleased with our feedback as it was pretty positive as most individuals stated that our music video definitely has potential. Generally people liked our costumes and locations and the concept of the chase. However, Some individuals did consider that the 'chase' theme needed a bit of developing and that it was at times confusing who has control. Though, we thought that it was obvious to see that the women (Studded Roses) actually have control.

Also, most of the class the liked the fast cuts at the beginning of the video as it made the video edgy, which also links to our ideology as we are quite an edgy/different band. however, they believed that this sense of edginess was lost as the shots became to long. In addition to this quite a lot of individuals in our class considered that the performance element could be improved as there was a few parts within the video that captured something of the members laughing which seemed to make the the idea of them being dominant females less convincing.

Overall, I believe that the feedback provided for us was very useful as it allowed us to see our video from another perspective, looking at it from an audience's point of view, not a producer. I consider that the feedback was very constructive as it allowed us to see what exactly was good in the video and also to develop on what individuals may have considered to be not effective.

DESIGNING MY DIGIPAK...

Designing...

the above photos show my progress in making my digipak. As you can see from the two pictures I changed the layout of the pictures on the front cover of my digipak. I also changed the position of the group's name as well as adding in the title of the album. I like the font i used because it it is bold and stands out which relates to the ideology of the group as they are bold, fierce individuals. The title of the album 'Dominatrix' which means a woman that dominates also links to the ideology of Studded Roses.
