1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- Jump cuts is one of the main conventions of a music video. In response, we will be using a lot of these in order to make ours look legitimate.
- Close-ups are often used to put emphasis on the artist, musician or band. Wide shots are typically used in music videos of a band to fit all of the members in. We will also be using these shots.
- Artificial lighting is used when doing performance shots, particularly inside. We will use artificial lighting in our performance shots - studio lights and fairy-lights being the primary form.
2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
- Linking our music video to our digipak, magazine articles and website
- Similar colour schemes
- Putting our record label (dirty hit records) on everything
- Linking the location (of our performance shots) with the design of the website and digipak
- Our signature font will be on everything.
3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?
- As I have not yet received audience feedback, I can't plan my answer to this question.
- To gain audience feedback I will show my music video to as many people as possible and ask them questions about the video to determine the general view of it.
- I will pay close attention particularly to our target audience.
4. How did you use media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?
- During planning and research i am using a wide variety of technologies, such as microsoft word, youtube, blogger, slideshare, prezi, powtoon and emaze.
- Phone, laptop, desktop computer, imac, tablet in order to gather research.
- During construction, I am using a HD video camera and a tripod to shoot, adobe premiere pro to edit footage, wix to create our website, paint to create posters and digipak ideas. i will hopefully be learning to use adobe photoshop in order to create a flawless digipak.
