Evaluation - 4. How did you use media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?

In terms of the Evaluation stages, I used several platforms of media such as above (youtube) blogger (to post my work to the public and essentially to my target audience) Prezi (a creative, animated way of presenting slides) Microsoft Powerpoint in which I converted using Slideshare which allowed me to be able to post my work on the internet, SoundCloud which allowed me to post sound clips which I used for my audience interviews.

Evaluation - 3. What did you learn from your audience feedback?

Through the results of the questionnaire and watching over my product again by myself, I began to see things that wasn't so obvious as to the screening done earlier. There clear issues with some of the scenes in which they simply weren't at a good quality. For example, there were scenes where the shot quality was blurred which tells me that ,when I was filming, the camera did not focus to an appropriate degree to which would have prevented that blur issue. Another issue is probably my shot selection in which were used in the final product, I think this is the reason as to why some of the audience did not understand the narrative of the video.
However, as mentioned above, the majority of the response were positive. The response for the question "Would you recommend this video to others?" where the majority has responded saying "Yes" connotes to me that people were interested and liked the product during the screening

Promotion - Media Screening - 13th May

This screenshot is an event on Facebook which my colleagues of media studies have created to invite a large audience for our Screening in school
This is a productive method of advertising our Screening to the public and inviting a representative of our target audience in which we will use this opportunity to gain valid responses and feedback to our final media product.
In doing this, we have used viral marketing to promote our collection of products as the majority of the media audience is held in Social networking sites such as Facebook

Audience Feedback - Open and Close Questionnaires

Evaluation - 2. How effective is the combination of your Ancillary and Main Constructions

Overall, I have made clear relations to both my Ancillary and Main Constructions. I have done this by the similar themes in the ancillary constructions. In terms of the link between the Ancillary and Main Constructions, I have used some of the scenes in the video and purposely chosen images of Adam screaming which creates the link between the products and the song

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

Update On Progress 14

I now believe that I am roughly 80% finished both of my ancillary tasks in which I have given that 20% incompletion for any feedback that I can incorporate and apply to my work.
I am struggling with the inner section of the DigiPak in which I have ran out of ideas as to what to put in it. I have a simple structure and layout of what is within it however I still feel as though there is something missing. So for any feedback or comment as to what I can do to improve this this work then please help me

Update On Progress 13

This is an update on my progress in my Ancillary tasks production

 

This is my first final draft of the front cover of the Digipak.

This is my first final draft of the back of the Digipak, as you can see I have finished the small print and have also included some logos of actual Music related companies that improve its appeal of a real album. As this is my draft, there will be points where I would change, edit, delete etc in order to improve the digipak’s final look

 

 

This ancillary task is still in construction. However I believe that I am near completion of this Task as the theme of this task is minimalistic.



Production Schedule - 11st - 15th Feb

Ancillary Task - DigiPak Production #2

After some reconsideration and thinking of ideas along with research some digipaks for inspiration, I have decided to set out the structure of the back of my digipak to be like above, where it has the big gap at the bottom with the "2012 Sony Entertainment" is where I will fill in the gap with the small print of information and featured companies etc.

Ancillary Task - DigiPak Production

 

 

While I waited for the images to be taken so that i can complete my first Ancillary task of the Magazine Advert, I decided to start designing and creating my other Ancillary task of the digipak, this is what I have initially started of with in the outer back of the digipak. I admit that I wasn't happen about this design where i would need to reconsider and redesign or alter it so that it goes to my liking.

Ancillary Task - Mag Ad Production #3

 

After further progress in my ancillary task, this is what I have done so far. as you can see I have almost completed my structure and layout of the magazine advert, I have also included in the details that I have decided to have in the advert, the only thing I am missing is the main image and editing the images that would be used for the advert.

Later on today, my group and I will be having a photoshoot in which the produced images taken tonight/afternoon would be the images that I would use for my production where I would retake or take furthermore images if I am not satisfied with what is already taken tonight.
