this video created by Hannah and Radhika perfectly re-creates the first minute of song by birdy- shelter. this video is very indie and a great example of the conventions of the genre. from this video ideas could be taken and transferred to the video we are creating i think this is a great video.Mark Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700644294490162162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478622668090081534.post-62387716105615505752012-05-09T08:45:00.002-07:002012-05-12T08:51:43.454-07:00my final evaluation!!!<a href="http://www.scribd.com/mediaA2work/d/93337618-A2-Music-Video-Evaluation-Part-1" style="-x-system-font: none; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 12px auto 6px auto; text-decoration: underline;" title="View A2 Music Video Evaluation Part 1 on Scribd">A2 Music Video Evaluation Part 1</a><iframe class="scribd_iframe_embed" data-aspect-ratio="1.33333333333333" data-auto-height="true" frameborder="0" height="600" id="doc_50045" scrolling="no" src="http://www.scribd.com/embeds/93337618/content?start_page=1&view_mode=list&access_key=key-1s87qyl2yd0zeysaxaoe" width="100%"></iframe><a href="http://www.scribd.com/mediaA2work/d/93337341-A2-Music-Video-Evaluation-Part-2" style="-x-system-font: none; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 12px auto 6px auto; text-decoration: underline;" title="View A2 Music Video Evaluation Part 2 on Scribd">A2 Music Video Evaluation Part 2</a><iframe class="scribd_iframe_embed" data-aspect-ratio="1.33333333333333" data-auto-height="true" frameborder="0" height="600" id="doc_39425" scrolling="no" src="http://www.scribd.com/embeds/93337341/content?start_page=1&view_mode=list&access_key=key-pazckj797fwe4ne95ai" width="100%"></iframe>Mark Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700644294490162162noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478622668090081534.post-86263127958028647222012-05-09T06:53:00.001-07:002012-05-09T06:54:44.212-07:00What have you learned from your audience feedback?<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SXy6-vMXOEA" width="420"></iframe>Mark Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700644294490162162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478622668090081534.post-60521863697367511522012-05-09T06:52:00.001-07:002012-05-09T06:54:30.795-07:00How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JUZgfqDoOlM" width="420"></iframe>Mark Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700644294490162162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478622668090081534.post-9948575173900299202012-05-06T10:05:00.001-07:002012-05-06T10:05:27.837-07:00question 3: what have you learnt from your audience feedback<a href="http://www.scribd.com/mediaA2work/d/92599648-Question-3" style="-x-system-font: none; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 12px auto 6px auto; text-decoration: underline;" title="View Question 3 on Scribd">Question 3</a><iframe class="scribd_iframe_embed" data-aspect-ratio="1.33333333333333" data-auto-height="true" frameborder="0" height="600" id="doc_47383" scrolling="no" src="http://www.scribd.com/embeds/92599648/content?start_page=1&view_mode=list&access_key=key-jyfphrah3gd25ekefrh" width="100%"></iframe>Mark Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700644294490162162noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478622668090081534.post-28179697619123988242012-05-06T04:03:00.001-07:002012-05-08T08:57:51.050-07:00group evaluation<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/k0q_L9aYu1Y" width="420"></iframe><br />

<br />
the reason why we had developed this advert was because we thought it went well with the name of the album which is unrest and especially our music video. we thought that it would almost give you an insight in the mind of the singer himself and show distorted his mind is. we used these colours to show exactly how mad his mind is. we used big letters and white to make sure its perfectly visible. we also decided to put our digipak cover on it to show what the album will look like. we tried to make it seem authentic by saying its on iTunes. we decided to choose this theme as it links up well with the theme of our video.<br />
<br />

we designed this one to be a direct link between our music video and the advert. we fulfilled the conventions in this by using natural light natural surroundings as well. we decided our actor should be prominent in this picture. we made sure he had the same clothes on as he does in the video again this is done to strengthen the link between this product and the music video. we tried to make the lettering stand out by making it bold and gave all the right information needed. this was done to make it authentic as well as having the HMV logo on it and the riddle records sign in the centre of the bottom on this advert.</div>

In this picture i have the first scenes of our video we have the opening credits we show the name of the with the song name. it will be on the chalk board at school to show the opening title. The other pictures depict the main character stalking the girl he loves outside Starbucks this is the main section of our story and we show him shooting her also at the end with the story ending with darkness. we have mostly gone for medium shots this is because they fill the conventions of indie music videos and because it is the most effective way to see the story from the point of view of the main character. we felt that this would be good for the story as it shows obsessive love and the song is about love so the two do fit in together. this is the point you realise that the main character is deranged and dangerous. we added a school scene this is too show how he met the girl and to give the audience an idea of the age the character is.</div>

in this section of the story board we see the main character taking the girl hostage. the camera shots are now closer and we have also included some performance clips so its not completely narrative this is to make people understand that the main character is in fact our singer Oliver Fox. it also shows his regret at killing the girl he loves and even shows him in the car reconsidering the kidnap. this is to show the human side is still there and he is conflicted by his obsession and love for this girl. on the scenes he shows regret we have done close ups this is to show how conflicted he is about the situation and the audience can he how much trouble he is having deciding if he should do this or not.</div>

in this page we see his obsession in full as he has pictures of the girl all over his room and it shows his hearts desire which is holding hands with the girl and having a picnic which he replicates later on but instead forces her rather than her being there willingly like his fantasy. it again has another performance clip to show the band as a whole. this also shows where he first meets the girl and where his obsession begins.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">On the 19<sup>th</sup> of March we held a
viewing evening for all our music videos. This was done to gain the feedback
from the audience. We looked at our results and found that many people loved
our music video. I will go through this question by question and then sum up
the results. It was also shown to a year 7 class to get more results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

of settings in the video were appropriate?<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">From the results I have seen many people thought
that the settings were perfect for our video. On quote summed up the general
feeling ‘was very good setting suited the song’ this is what many of the
audience thought. One of the negative comments where all similar for this
question ‘thought it shouldn’t be in a public park’ this is the feeling of the
other negative comments we received.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">For this question the audience again thought our
video satisfied the conventions of the indie genre with 35 people agreeing that
our video is very good. We also had 2 negative responses from our audience. But
as the majority liked our video we can safely assume that we did satisfy
conventions of the genre. Some of the comments we got where ‘it was very clear
that the genre of the music video was indie’ and ‘satisfied conventions
effectively’<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">From the people we asked 33 of them had positive
comments ranging from ‘all good’ to ‘the transitions where sharp and clear.
This is very good for our video as it was overwhelmingly liked by the audience.
We had 3 negative comments about the transitions and editing one of them said
‘could use more effects over the song’ taking this into consideration if we was
to do this again we could look into making more editing but we and many of the
audience thought we had a sufficient amount.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">36 people had positive reviews of the camera
angles and movements we used. We tried to use a range of different camera
angles and techniques but also tried fitting it into the conventional camera
shots that indie music use. We had received 4 negative responses from the
audience on camera shots with one quote being ‘didn’t notice any extra good
thing average’ this is something we didn’t want people to think but as it is a
small number of people who felt this way we can safely assume that it was fine
and some peoples tastes in camera movement could cloud judgement of our work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and the video didn’t complement each other which is disappointing that they
would think this but we had good comments such as ‘the song is about love and
so is the music video’. We are happy that people could see the theme that we
were going for even if some others didn’t.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b><u>January<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our filming started this month this was very exciting but
needed to know where to start and what locations exactly we should use. Two members
of our group filmed the introduction to our music video. This was meant to be
at the very beginning of the video but after consideration it was moved further
into the video. It was the scene that shows the main character showing his
first signs of love for our other actor and group member Hannah. When we got the footage back to class we had
to try and piece them together it was here I think we all realised it wasn’t going
to be as easy as we first may have thought (well this is true in my case
anyway) once we pieced together where we wanted everything we had to try and
find a transitional effect that would make the change between scenes work seamlessly
which thanks to Hannah and Radhika’s expertise with final cut pro we did so.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>February<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had started
working on the ending scenes and getting random shots of blue skies, driving by
the town, birds flying by. We encountered other problems such as our schedules
preventing us from meeting all together a lot of the time. But still filming
was getting done and we was all editing the video together and giving our
opinions of what should be where and how we should add effects when we change
scenes. We also decided which of those little scenes would be in the final
video (the birds, blue skies) me and Marissa had filmed the town passing by
while I drove but we decided not to use this<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>March<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was the busiest month we had most of the filming was
done now. Most of the video was shot this month with the performance scenes
filmed and then the final scene. We still had the kidnaping scene left to do. But
problems had been encountered in this month firstly when shooting the final
scene we had dog walkers going by randomly which kind of killed the effect of
drama we was going for but we had another scene filmed the same day which didn’t
have the same problems. This was then edited and pieced together. We realised
that we still had about 30 seconds left to fill in in the middle. Radhika had a
great idea of taking many still images of chess pieces going all over the board
to represent the main character chasing the girl which was put together really
well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>April<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During our two week holiday we met up to film the section to
our video. But we had a big problem our actor had cut his hair!! This was
especially bad as these scenes are in the middle of the video so it would go
from long hair to short hair then back to long hair. There was nothing to be
done so we just shot our last scenes in which I had been filming the rest of
the group as they were all the actors as well. I had to get to grips with different
techniques like over the shoulder shots medium shots and tracking shots. We encountered
another problem on that outing which was the camera we was using ran out of
battery. But luckily Hannah had brought her camera along too so we could
continue filming as normal. Once we had the kidnapping scene done we decided to
get our actor to lip sync the whole song so we could use some of it as another
performance clip. Thus we had thought we finished but just needed to edit the
film together which was done on final cut pro. We had a showcase coming up and
needed to get the video completely finished. So we added our introduction to
the song filled in a 2 second gap with a clip of a burning candle that Hannah had
taken earlier that day and then put finishing credit. Thus we have finished our
video and we now hope everyone enjoys it.<o:p></o:p></div>Mark Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700644294490162162noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478622668090081534.post-1132676885327413182012-04-15T04:42:00.000-07:002012-04-15T04:42:14.433-07:00advert conventions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ZQZOgpvfM_TyP8Lx9cGmxJcgvqLAB9TwSJ6pkKsQBVZ8rjldO5h0OEfZSPoB6LQ21fwgQbGlWXaz859zpgdQaNitOA-MulPTGIYCGOtZiqFNXGTRRzAfonoPf9NnGkeJ75gG-VpgOSMC/s1600/Kings+of+Leon+Advert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ZQZOgpvfM_TyP8Lx9cGmxJcgvqLAB9TwSJ6pkKsQBVZ8rjldO5h0OEfZSPoB6LQ21fwgQbGlWXaz859zpgdQaNitOA-MulPTGIYCGOtZiqFNXGTRRzAfonoPf9NnGkeJ75gG-VpgOSMC/s320/Kings+of+Leon+Advert.jpg" width="242px" /></a></div>This magazine advertisement of Kings of Leon just has a blurry picture of what is a beach since there are palm trees and sunlight. The title of the band is at the top in a big font. The title of the album is in the same font and colour except a bit smalller so that the artist's name stands out more. The release date of the poster is in a similar font. The title ' Come Around Sundown' fits in with the beach/sun theme of the poster. I think it's a really simple but effective poster. The poster also looks vintage, like it was made in the 60s which also goes with the indie image that Kings of Leon have.<br />

from these digipak front covers in the indie conventions i can see that art is a big part of the apperence of the digipak this will therefore make it easier to decide how to go forward with the front cover of the digipak we will create. abstract art is very normal in the indie music digipaks. Even down to the colours both are different even though they are in the same genre. snow patrol digipak cover has dark colours but it also has a focus on the bright colour white which is a convention of the indie genre. the Kings of Leon digipak has a very bright and colourful cover with the abstract art in the centre almost depicting a fight between light and dark. this could be done to show the kind of songs that will be on the album. it also could be the relation to the name of the album 'only by the night' which would justify the use of dark colours in a indie cover.Mark Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700644294490162162noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478622668090081534.post-52502539731257803312012-04-15T04:08:00.000-07:002012-04-15T04:08:45.222-07:00My individual plan for digipakHere are my initial plans before we decided as a group how our digipak would be laid out<br />

the front cover of this digipak is very artisitc and has the same themed colouring of the digipak it draws the attention of the audience. The images in the digipak consist of natural surroundings nature being a big theme in this digipak and is one of the conventions of indie music videos therefore it follows the convetions very well. throughout our digipak we have gone for images of nature like on our top two (centre and right side) both incorporate nature as its what fits into the indie music conventions. we picked the colours we did because we found other indie digipaks often use bright colours. it also serves the purpose of showing our singer not in the right state of mind this is done to fit in with the name of the album which is unrest. we felt this would be best shown with different colours. we also thought it was important to show our singer which also follows the conventions. he is wearing pretty much the same clothing as he does in the video this is to create the link between the digipak and our music video.</div>

The artist is called Oliver Fox, the album will be called Unrest and the song we made will be called Nights of broken sleep. In this post i will give a general view of the audience to each of the names.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>What do you think of the name Oliver Fox?</u></strong><br />
The people i asked loved the name and said it gave an exciting image to the artist. They also said that it was easy to remember as it is so different from other artists which made it different and more likely to stand out to the audiences. i had asked 10 people this questions and 9 out of 10 said they liked it and that it fit in nicely with the conventions of indie music.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>What do you think of the album name 'Unrest'?</u></strong><br />
Again i asked the same people what they thought of this name and 10 out of 10 said they liked the name. They said that it was very appropriate given the name of our song and that if fits in with the short snappy album names that are being released today.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>What do you think of the song name 'Nights of broken sleep'?</u></strong><br />
When i asked if they liked the name of the song 8 out of 10 people said they liked the name of this song name as the main theme is obsessive love they thought that the name was very approriate. The two people who didnt like it stated that they felt it was too over the top in sadness and could of toned it down a bit.Mark Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700644294490162162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478622668090081534.post-85343266499657047872012-04-15T03:25:00.000-07:002012-05-10T10:45:25.996-07:00location picturesone of the places we filmed at was at a local shopping centre not far from school<br />

I had combined two of my best pictures to get this one and copy and pasted the picture changing the colours each time then i brought it together to create this. here are the pictures i started with<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

the reason i decided on these pictures was because it fit in with the conventions of the indie genre. i also thought that it would be good to put on the CD panel because both the pictures look lonely and distant which is what the theme of the album name is. i thought it it goes well with the album name unrest because it represents the artists loneliness and show him to be separate from the rest of the word which i thought these pictures typify brilliantly<br />

The video does reflect the words in the song but doesn’t show the story like other indie music videos which portray the story that the song is talking about. This shows that it is going against normal conventions of indie music videos.</span></div>

A way that this can be proved is when you look at video games. Before video games where only played by one person or two if there was someone with them but now gaming systems have gone online in the form of PlayStation network and Xbox live people can play with others from all over the world due to game systems migrating online. So now instead of playing alone now they can play with as many as 20 people from all around the world at the same time. This shows that more and more media producers are moving to the internet. While Xbox live is affordable it is not free its online system and layout is unique. PlayStation network is free and again its layout and system is very different and the online games are not as heavily watched by administrators as Xbox live is. Games that are most heavily online are Call of Duty and Battlefield. Call of Duty started as an offline one player game but as the PlayStation network was created the game migrated to the internet as well. This proves that my and shirkey’s point that all forms of media is migrating online. Another form of media that has been changed is music. With internet becoming so important in modern day life businesses had to make sure that their businesses were rolling with the times. Apple did this on the largest scale by releasing the itunes store on this app and website people can purchase music videos and music in general. Following this release all of the music producers want their songs on the iTunes store.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the past, printing media used to be purely printing news, where people buy the paper to catch up with the latest news. They also include leaflets and 60-70 page booklets. Presently they have become more online based rather than just print. In the future newspapers will just be fully online as the actual paper format becomes extinct. Even TV will need to change to keep up with this online media. Now we can watch TV on online TV companies an example of this is BBC iPlayer from this website we can now watch previous days programmes when ever we want so now there isnt much of a schedule when it comes to viewing TV. In the past the TV companies had complete control of what is shown and at what times. The BBC for example set out a list of programmes without having to consult with the viewers but now they listen more to the viewers to keep their ratings up. In the future TV will be interactive and more of an online media than it is currently. Internet TV's are already in production now but as times go on it will be more interactive too the point that internet shopping and ordering takeaway can be done from your TV alone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The internet also gave birth to a new form of audience. They are now more active in the media circle. This is because the internet allows people to share their ideas with each other and even in some cases test theories. Now professional media companies are being out performed by the audience the growth in prosumers has been phenomenal the internet allows people to create media for themselves and their own consumption. An example of a website that shows user generated content is YouTube. YouTube allows people to upload their videos which other people consume this is because the internet has made it possible. In the past media was mainly produced by media companies but presently the internet has more user generated content. Even news reporting has been affected by prosumers with more citizen reporters telling the news on social networking sites like Facebook or twitter. The future of the prosumers will most likely be that they will be viewed more than media companies and unless media companies change media in the future could be almost completely user generated.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">With the rise in use of internet it also challenges the media companies that are around. One major challenge faced by the music and film industry is piracy. This has become a problem as it results in a loss in sales, shops are losing money due to lack of physical purchase. The media blame organized crime as being the biggest exporter of pirate films and songs. But this is not always the case. The media companies get statistics in an unusual way they see how many pirate items are sold for each film and then if 1 million people downloaded it they say that is 1 million lost customers even though this is not always the case. Some people download illegally due to not wanting to fund the artist’s lifestyle if they do not particularly agree with how they go about their life.</span></div>Mark Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700644294490162162noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478622668090081534.post-79970048488328292302011-11-28T02:16:00.001-08:002011-11-28T02:16:24.279-08:00netflix and web 3.0<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now offers movie rentals to PS3 and XBOX and now Nintendo Wii.
