Final Print Tasks!

Here are our final finished print tasks, the Album cover, the back cover, the inserts and post cards and our magazine album advertisement.

Audience feedback for print tasks. :)

After completing our print tasks, we decided to record a group of classmates to receive feedback from our target audience.We agreed that our target audience was the younger generation, aged 16-20, male and female and interested in indie folk style music. Because of our target audience, we chose certain people in our class that we though fell under this category. To start the discussion, we asked them a series of questions and left them to talk about the answers, the questions included, thoughts on the style of the font and images; the use of two different locations, what they liked and disliked and a rating out of 10. The camera was left to film  so that we could get honest opinions from the group. The first group was all male so we then decided to ask an all female group of girls who fit our target audience, to write down some things that they liked about the task and some things they thought could be changed or improved.
The male group agreed that the locations worked well together and they liked how the images were edited to looked like they were vintage. A lot of them agreed that  the magazine advertisement looked professional and would fit in a real magazine, this means we have captured our target audience.
The female group thought the tasks were organised and all the images and locations worked well together. They said that they thought a lot of the images looked well edited and fit together as a whole project, the only negative feedback was that one person said some of the images from the inserts may have looked better as the front cover.

Audience Research.

This spreadsheet shows our audience research that we have collected by asking people to complete our survey. The results show that most of the audience are under 18, and listen to folk music, which is the genre of our music video. It also shows that most people like to read NME and buy music from HMV or Itunes.

Audience Survey. :)

We have created an online survey for our audience to complete. This will help us distinguish our target audience and find out more about them. We have asked basic questions that relate to our choice of work. Our survey will be placed below, feel free to fill it out, it would be greatly appreciated. :D Thankyou!

Editing begins!

After taking plenty of photos last week and repeatedly filming Brady running around in a field, we are ready to start filming. We need to choose our best clips and add a sepia tone effect, and then reverse half of the video. The music video should be around 4 minutes, half of which being reversed. :)

Starting to film. :)

On Monday we began filming our music video, we went to Herrington Park to film parts of the scene there. After trekking to the top of a hill, we filmed Brady and took photographs while we tried a few different techniques. The weather worked out well as we wanted it to be windy but still sunny. It was a productive day and we got lots filmed. On Wednesday we went to Seaburn Beach and and recorded more for our video. We managed to get a lot of clips of Brady standing by the sea and a few clips of the waves. It was quite cold but not as windy as we expected and because it was still sunny it made the clips look better. We will continue to film more next Monday and Wednesday to finish the video off then begin editing. 

Final Actors. (:

After discussing things in our group, we decided it would be best to use one of the members of our group as our female actress, the actress is Brady. After our search for a male actor was not as successful as we hoped, we had the thought of using Brady's boyfriend Nathan as the male. This means that they will both have a better connection in the video and they will be able to work well together with things being a lot more comfortable.
