Finished Music Video Screening/Feedback



The editing was praised as a strength of the video and the effects used were also noted as interesting. The use of silhouette shots were also a strength of the video. However the first half of he video was noted to be more interesting than the second half and more effects could have been added. Due to time constraints, and lack of experience we couldn't add more effects to the video but in the future we could add this as we know how to use the software properly. Overall the video was well received by our peers and their feedback was useful.

Planning Technologies for Evaluation

Question 1 'In what ways did your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?' :
For the first question I could use Prezi, as it allows me to insert clips and images from my music video as well as creatively design a layout that presents my ideas and analysis in a visually interesting way.

Question 2 'How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?' :
for this question I plan to use Carbonmade.com which is a portfolio website that can add captions to images which will help for analysis into my print products when comparing them to my music video. The site is very user friendly which allows me to use it with ease.

Question 3 'What have you learned from audience feedback?' :
This question requires audience feedback, so I have decided to use Emaze as I can use it easily and I can use audience comments and feedback and annotate it.

Question 4 'How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stage?' : 
For this question I plan to use Slideshare which lets me upload powerpoints in order to present my evaluation in a more professional way. This allows me to write a substantial amount about the technologies I used.

Complete Digipak Feedback


The feedback I received from my peers was done using a group chat on Whatsapp, This was very useful as they were part of our group's target audience. I received overall positive feedback on the colours used on my CD package and the effects used on the products were the biggest strengths.
