Evaluation Questions Script (brief)

Evaluation Questions Script.

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

Jonny: When we were deciding what type of music video we wanted to produce we were determined to use a wide range of camera shots and editing skills which would have to be done through Final Cut.

Ellie: We looked through a variety of music videos from different genres such as We are never ever getting back together by Taylor Swift. From her music video we found we could take emotion from it with how she finds breaking up pretty sarcastic and add it to ours by exaggerating our opinion of having a ‘’Good Time’’

Jonny: we also looked at Lights by Ellie Goulding as Ellie thought it would be a good idea to include flashing lights on our faces at some point. However sadly we never managed to include this because we couldn’t find the correct equipment that we could use apart from a torch but this didn’t really have a decent effect with the footage so instead we decided to come up with something different which was recording lights in the arcades which worked well as they went with the beat!

Ellie: our third inspirational video was Down with the trumpets by Rizzle Kicks. This video has camera shots which really inspired us to try to include in ours as they are different to what you would find in other typical music videos. There was a change of shots as the singers acted like they were falling but as they hit the ground it changed to them in a different setting. We tried to use a shot like this in our video and we had Jonny getting out of bed and walking out his room using a hand held approach with the camera which helped to show we could use a range of camera skills rather than just recording everything from it being stood on the tripod.

*recordings of filming and having a narrator*

say some stuff here depending on what clips we decide to use…

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

(possibly record outselves watching our music video and giving our opinion on what we thought we done well and some weak points)

* record the three students watching the music video in the recording studio hopefully – try get get a good close up of their facial expressions and body language eg if they’re actually paying attention or slouching back on the chair. Try not to make it too obvious youre recording them. *

* interview them each one at a time asking questions such as what they liked about our music video and what they think could’ve been better. Ask them as a group to discuss their opinions with each other (possibly hand them some sort of questionnaire to fill in) *

post the video on facebook , wait for about 24 hours to get enough feedback and printscreen all the comments (do something with the printscreen, not sure what yet) *

·      have images or record Jonny looking back at the feedback and editing the sections people thought could be improved and have him briefly describe what he is doing*

·      * record and get imaged of me and gareth editing the digipak and advert to fulfill what the feedback wanted.*

·      * re-record the new music video being shown to the same students and go through the same process of recording their facial expressions and body language, along with asking the same questions and interviewing them alone and as a group.*

·      *post the improved video on facebook again and wait 24 hours like before to gather enough feedback and printscreen all the comments (then do something with the printscreen) *

·      (possibly record us watching our final improvements and talking about what we thought about the feedback in the atrium)

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

(images and recordings of us using the camera, tripod and phone camera. Recordings and photos of Jonny using Final Cut, Ellie using Photoshop and Blogger and Gareth using Photoshop)
