Evaluation - Question 3 - The survey results

These are the results from the survey that we made for people that has watched our video.

As you can more people over the age of 30 took the survey which was very surprising considering that our video was made with the energetic feel for teenagers. To see see that our video has appealed to an older audience has surprised us. 

As you can see more females took the survey, this could be suggesting the typical boy band look as been achieved. This is also good because it shows that if we did do another song we should try to aim it at both types of audiences. 

From the results above you can see that our video got a good response, as majority of the people said that it was good and a few said it was excellent. This clearly shows that we can make a decent music video, but overall people enjoyed our music video. 

The question above was critical that people said it was accurate and that is the response that we got. Obviously we didn't want that lip syncing to be out, and majority of the people that took our survey said that the lip synching was accurate. 

As you can see from the results every one liked the performances in our video which is a good thing. So the audience obviously thought that the band performed to the best of their ability. 

As you can see from the responses above we got a positive feedback and majority of the people that took the survey thought that our location for the music video was good. Only a few said that it was ok sometimes. 

From the results above shows that the audience enjoyed the video as it was fast paced and energetic. Some of the responses said that they felt like getting up and dancing to it them selves. 

The thing that i liked about this response is that most people said that the video was good and that nothing needed to be changed or improved which is good for us. Although there were a few things that people said that needed to be changed for example one person said that the girls costume was to boring there was no colour what so ever. 

Overall what this survey has showed me is that our music video isn't that bad and the people enjoyed it which is always a good thing.

Question 2

View more presentations from kibriya55.

What we learnt from the focus group is that our digi-pack and the magazine advert look very similar and are related to our music video. 

Evaluation - Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop challenge forms and conventions of real media product?

I think that our music video has similar scenes to real music video. Like Ultra Beat has a scene of a boy and girl signing together like we do in our music video.

As you can see the similarity in the two music videos as our one is at the bottom, the only difference that i would say is that UltraBeat - Fascination uses a mid shot where as in our music video we use a long shot. We even use a similar microphone to the UltraBeat video. 

There is another sequence where we have a similar band sequence to a real music video, for example in the Aphasia - Flatline we have a similar band sequence to them. 

As you can the see the two pictures again our band being at the bottom, you can see that just like the professional music video we had to two guitarist on the side of the lead singer. And they also stand in a triangle formation as we do which is quite neat. Again the only difference that i will say will be that they are more spread out as the band where as we are more close together, they also use a low angle to look up at the band to show that they are powerful where as we just a straight angle. 

These two snap shots are from my music video and The Rumble Strip - Motorcycles, as you can see in both pictures they are just messing about, just singing along to the song and not much else happening other than a little bit of dancing.

Finished Digi-pack

This is our finished digi-pack and as you can see most of the images are related to what we  have done in London.

The 4 Phases

Christian Metz identified four phases:

• Initial phase 
• Classical phase 
• Declining phase 
• Parody phase 

The film Airport went through all these phases,

• Initial phase - Airport 
• Classical phase - The Towering Inferno 
• Declining phase - Airport 80: The Concord 
• Parody phase - Airplane!

The three act structure

In Hollywood film narrative tends to be organised in what is called "Three act Structure".

In this structure a film must be set up within the first 20-30 minutes before the main character or protagonist experiences a 'Plot point' That gives him or her a goal that needs to be achieved.

Approximately half of the movie must then be taken up with characters struggling to  his or her goal, this is the 'Confrontation' period.

The final quarter of the film despite the climatic struggle by the protagonist to finally achieve his/her goal and the after math of this struggle.

Genre

What is Genre?
Genre is a kind or type so for example:

• Horror
• Action
• Thriller 
• RomCom
• Comedy
• Animation
• Romance
• Sci-Fi

Genre have characteristic features that are recognised by audiences. So for example in a western film we see similar characters, situation and settings.

Audiences and Genre


Audiences develop an understanding that certain expectation maybe fulfilled. They also recognise key elements in the genre so they will associate a knife with a horror film.

These key elements are called paradigms, and there are two types of them:

1) Iconographic - Signs and symbols
2) Structural - How structure in the text deal with issues such as ideology.  

Vladimir Propp

Vladimir Propp identified 8 key characters in these stories.

And they are:

• Hero
• Villain
• Donor (Provider)
• Helper (Assistance)
• Father
• Dispatcher
• Princess
• False Hero 

Propp argued that characters could fulfill more than one of these rolls and that there can be more than one of each character type. 

Roland Barthes Theory

Barthes described all the text as a complex bundle of meaning which can be unravelled to create a whole range of different meanings.

According to Barthes text can be:

• Open: With numerous threads to pul
• Closed: with only one obvious threads to grasp

These threads Barthes referees them to  as a narrative code. The most significant of these codes is the Enigma code. 

The enigma cde is usually introduced in the disruption phase of Todorov.
