Evaluation Question 2




How effective is the combination of your main product ancillary text?




Evaluation Question 3

What have you learnt from your audience feed back?

We have learnt from our audience feeback that although our music video and digi-pak were successful, there are many draw backs from our production that we could have taken into mind. Many people suggested that our video doesnt really involve a clear and fluent narrative that it should do. This is most probably because our video isn't that clear about what is happening in the narrative as there are many quick fast cuts in the video. Although people did suggest that the fast cuts were successful in creating a fast and fluent video which caught their eye when watching the video.

When commenting on our digi-pak, people suggested that the photos taken look 'really professional' and that the discolouration from black and white to colour works really well throughout the poster and digi-pak. Other people thought that from the photos being ' really professional ' that the whole digi-pak and poster looked really good and worked well together thus creating a well made and produced product, which they thought made up for the confusing and mis-leading video watched.

Evaluation Question 4

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

When constructing our media video we used many elements of new media technologies to make our video successful and take aspects from real music videos that are viewed with high significance. Each group was given a semi-professional camera, xm2











, which was helpful by it made us being able to use the same equipment a real music video producer would use if they were making a music video. The edit suit also provided us with a high level of technology and professionalism so we could work to the best of our ability. Wide screen TV’s were present in the editing suite,








making it more clear and visible for each group to see their video and problems with it needing improvements. On the computers in the editing suite, Photoshop was installed which was extremely useful in editing the music video how we wanted it to be like. For example we used the editing on Photoshop to successfully produce our poster and digipak part of the task, which also included a 3 page CD cover.




We had to plan our music video and CD digipak, so we were given the task to create a blogger account. Blogger enabled us to write down every planning aspect including; spider diagram ideas for the video, lyric analysis, analysis’ of other music videos etc.Several other online websites including Myspace, You tube and Facebook were helpful in one, finding the band that we wanted to use and two, researching them to coincide with the making of the digipak and general information needed.








Myspace was helpful in choosing a specific song for the band we had chosen, You tube for audience feedback on the band a performances and Facebook was useful for information on the band, contacting them and pictures of them members.




Cast Decision

Fan Interview

How did you discover and why do you like Briscott?

I have known Andy for several years now, from when he started out playing guitar and writing songs for fun and seriously. His music has over time improved lyrically and emotionally, using a wider range of subject and skills to make his music better.

Briscott’s music has inspirational values from such artists such as ‘Bright Eyes’ and ‘Jack Johnson’, which is why I like Briscott’s music especially as its original but with many inspirations.

What’s your favourite song?

My favourite song by Briscott is track 6 on the CD which is called ‘3 feet tall’. I especially like this song as it has a lot of meaning to it and emotional value about growing up as children and being still together as a couple when they’re older.
