What have you learnt from the evaluation feed back?

Rough feed back from friends on the Music promotion video

It was clear when asking friends and family to watch our footage and comment that there was clearly not enough footage and although it seemed to role together it could have been put together better to create a more flowing video.

After mentioning that our original idea was to have an interview mixed in with the footage, it became clear that  the percentage of views believed that this would have made our project more sucsessfull.

 After this first viewing we knew we needed to add alot more footage and then we did go film again, ( yet we lost this footage as our photographer (james) broke his arm at the concert and still has the filming to this day.)

Digipak feedback

The main thing said about the poster and DVD cover was that you could see the link, the audience liked the way that the colour scheme linked and that the pictures were also linked. They also said that they felt that the DVD cover worked better than the poster, that it looked like it had more work put into it as the poster was in a way bland and a bit empty.

I also, before the feed back, had left of a age limit on the DVD cover, which as noticed by the audience, to compensate for this i put o warning on the DVD cover saying  “parental guidance, explicit lyrics”. then i showed it again to the same audience who said that this completed the cover and was now a complete sucsess.

Social networking feed back

On completion of our digipak, i went onto my facebook page posting a message to all my freind, ( some studing a-level media and some not) asking a few questions about my whole project including the blog.

In what ways does my digipak including the dvd cover, poster, promotional and video remind you of a real media?

It follows a real promotional video time line, using titles coming in to advertise the DVD and the bands music over the top which is commen in the promotional music video. The way that it is fast pace, and to the music also ment that it kept the audience interested. It was also said that the fact we filmed it live was sucsessfull for the genre of the baand, but would not of worked with another genre.

What do you believe are the strengths of the whole project ?

•  the colour scheme
• the photos
• the union jack theme
• the music

What do you belive where the weaknesses ?

• the filming ( this came up the most when asking this question, it was felt that there was more film time needed )
• the editing ( however we argued that we didnt want to change to much as we wanted that realistic edgy feeling to fit the genre of indie rock )

Overall the feeling was that our work was good but we should have spent more time working on the filming. in my personal opinion i feel that this is in some way true, it is not that we didnt spend enough time on the filming and editing but more that we lost footage and then when trying to re-film it was cut short ( due to james breaking his arm ) and also that we did not communicate as a group as sucsessfully as possible. we seemed to each take certian roles, mine being the blogs dvd cover and poster and we all shared the pre-production. i believe we ould have worked better as a group improving our over all project.
