Question 3: Second draft



Danielle,
I like how you have filmed audience. At one point you show an image of the digipak when you reflect and should do this each time so we don't have black screen and we can understand their comments and yours. Also, they mention short takes- how would a random audience member know this? Do they mean it is boring and therefore editing is not well paced and you needed to vary length of shots to match the music?

Question 4: How did you use media technologies in the research, planning, construction and evaluation stages?



Try to establish the difference between software and hardware- this is technology so define the types. Social Media isn't really a technology...
Also, the presentation of this Prezi needs some work- it is hard to follow the info and it is annoying to move and zoom with so much info spread out.

Question 3: What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?



The choice of form works well here. There is a lot on her outfit and how this relates to her but it is not about a textual analysis  of her, make sure that you are looking at the fact it is a Promotional Package and how you used the techniques you did to help an audience relate and ultimately buy into your artist. Think institution and also the ancillary is a magazine advert for an album release not a poster.

Summing up of audience Feedback

Through my project I felt it was vital that I ensured my target market liked my products and suggested any improvements I could make because they are the people who are mostly likely going to buy my products and therefore must appeal to them. I asked a very small and specific group of people to tell me their opinions/any improvements they had on all three of my products and I collected the information summed it all up here so it can help me in answering Question 3 in my evaluation:

·    After watching the first draft of my music promo my target market suggested that it needs to have a wider variety of different locations as it can be seen as quite boring if it is all in the same location

·    They suggested that there should be more short takes to make it look professional as at the moment it doesn't flow like other music promos do. It all consists of very long takes.

·     They liked my digipak but said that I could include note from Taylor Swift to make it more personal in the digipak

·    The majority of my target market liked the image with her holding the guitar and not facing the camera as they said this was the most effective image as it was quite unusual to not be able to see the artist's face on the poster. This was quite risky but they said they really liked it

·    My target market liked the image of the front cover because she is looking directly at the camera and the audience can see all of her features clearly making them feel closer to her

·    They said it would work well if I had the same image on the back of my digipak and the posters

·    They thought it was important for more feminine fonts to be used on my digipak and poster

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


When you mention stereotype, stereotype of what? Girls or the genre? Make comments clear and use terminology properly. Also, 9 frames is a method of showing your work.
