MEDIA EVALUATION

    Joshua Lewis
Introduction
In our group of 3 we created a Music video, a CD cover and an advert for it.
In this media evaluation I am going to answer 4 key questions

- In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
We had to research into different music videos and different types of genre’s and analyse the conventions used in
      each of those music videos that makes it appeal to certain audiences. We were then told to make a decision
      about what conventions we were going to use in our own music video
- How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
This question will look at the synergy of our three final products

- What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
The whole point of researching conventions in a music videos and their different genre’s is to appeal to the audience,
       we want to make a video that the audience feel they can relate to. Audience feedback is essential to help
       understand what we done right and were we could improve.
- How did you use new media technologies in construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?
 I will look at the different hardware and software used in creating our music video.
QUESTION ONE

In what ways does your media product
 use, develop or challenge forms and
 conventions of real media products?
Marketing aims and beginning stages
As a class, we analysed different music video’s from different genre’s. In
   particular we analysed the ‘Runaway Love’ music video by Ludacris and
   Mary J. Blige. We analysed how different conventions were used to portray
   different characters in this video and how they were used to send a
   message across that the audience can either relate to or empathise with.
   After picking up on different techniques we decided what kind of music
   video we was going to make and drew up a story board of the location and
   the different shots in the music video. We also appointed different positions
   within the group for example the camera man, the director etc.
How we used conventions of real
       media products
How you used the conventions of a real media
                                    product
Smartz produced a song called Londons burning, which was recorded just after the riots
  on the topic of the riots. We felt it was only appropriate to shoot the music video in
  central london around the westminister and picadilly area. In devlin’s london city
  video he has filmed all the people walking in a night out in london ad sped up the
  footage to create a blurry effect of how busy the night life is. We have aimed for this
  in our shot at Piccadilly in Smartz’s music video. Devlin has also used one of the
  main tourist attractions in london which is the london eye and so have we using a
  similar shot creating the impression that Smartz is just a small human in a big city.
  The view of big ben from different angles was important for this video, the lighting has
  been caught effectively to show how beautiful london can be. In Wileys never be your
  woman video Emeli Sande is seen to be standing on a rooftop in deep thought, we
  have also used this convention in our shot Smartz across the river from Big Ben.
How do you use conventions of a real media
                product
How you used the conventions of a real media
                     product
•   In our video we have used the dissolve effect to change shots a numerous amount of times. This
    makes changing from different shots smoother. We have chosen carefully where we used it in
    our video for example when smartz is talking about sirens we dissolved the police and
    ambulance sirens into the video briefly with footage we got from recording at oxford circus. I
    discovered this technique used in many Drake videos. Also in Usher’s ‘Burn’ video when he is
    talking about his girl it has a faded shot of her walking out of the room. I also noticed that some
    shots change to go with the tempo of the instrumental for example the drums in Drake’s ‘I’m on
    one’. We used this technique at some points in our video changing the shot after every one of
    Smartz’s lines in the song.
How you used conventions of a real media product


                  We noticed in some official music videos the Artists put the
                  title of the song and the artist or the music group they are
                  representing. The logo on our video will stick in the
                  audiences minds so if they see it again they will recognise
                  it instantly and watch more products from this Artist. From
                  the logo we have dissolved in the clips from the London
                  riots so it makes the audience realise that ‘London’s
                  burning’ in the title is referring to the riots.
What have you learnt from
your audience feedback?
      Question Three
Audience feedback
Audience feedback is essential for helping to understand whether the conventions you
used within your music video was successful and what you can do to improve on them

Techniques used for gaining audience feedback
-Survey monkey
We created a survey on www.surveymonkey.com with the following questions
Do you like the music video?
Do you think the video is representative of other music videos?
What music channels do you think the music video would be on?
Do you think the Imagery in the video match the lyrics in the song?
Does the video make you want to research in to more of the artists work?
-Facebook/Twitter
 We posted the video on facebook to gain response from people we know as to whether
they like the music video or not and how we can improve
Do you like the music video?
Do you think this is representative of a real music video
What music channel do you think it would be
               shown on?
Do you think the imagery
  matches the lyrics?
Does the video make you want to listen to more
             stuff from the artist
How we can improve on our
             product
Apart from evidently needing a better quality HD camera, there are other
techniques we could have used better to bring out the best in this video

-Camera handling
In some points in our music video the camera is shaky which makes it look
unprofessional. There is also raindrops on the camera lens which could have
been wiped off. Steady handling of the camera can ensure all shots come out
clear as possible

-Lighting
In some of the shots particularly the one across the river from Big Ben and the
houses of parliament, there is not enough lighting on Smartz’s face to see the
words he is mouthing, a headlight on the camera would prevent this from
happening.

The logo on our video will stick in the audiences minds so if they see it again they will recognise it instantly and watch more products from this Artist.

  • 17. How we can improve on our product Apart from evidently needing a better quality HD camera, there are other techniques we could have used better to bring out the best in this video -Camera handling In some points in our music video the camera is shaky which makes it look unprofessional. There is also raindrops on the camera lens which could have been wiped off. Steady handling of the camera can ensure all shots come out clear as possible -Lighting In some of the shots particularly the one across the river from Big Ben and the houses of parliament, there is not enough lighting on Smartz’s face to see the words he is mouthing, a headlight on the camera would prevent this from happening.
