This is the feedback we got from our final cut they are the same people as the rough cut feedback so we can see if we made improvements. Below are the images of the feedback.

Arguably, the most important collective group of items in the production of media is the technologies that surround the production stages. It is crucial to have all of the correct forms of technology to be able to construct, research, plan and evaluate throughout the process. I believe the knowledge I have within technology that I have built up over the past few years of my life has given me an advantage throughout the production stages of the coursework. The combination of skills across my knowledge of technology, camerawork and editing have helped me to produce a much better post edit product. Within both the construction of and researching into the product we are building up to produce there was a varied selection of technology that we used to better are research. Firstly, we believed deciding on are target audience would be the best way to start out. We did so by creating a simple questionnaire on word in which we asked a range of age groups the same questions t...

To see this evaluation question you can find it here: https://prezi.com/view/EenBdSTS5jYAY2w0IBub/ I produced this question on prezi to give more variation in media platforms when evaluating our work.

For this evaluation question I put together a survey in order to find out what people thing about the work me and Jordan Rolf have produced. I created a survey using surveymonkey in order to gain additional feedback from our work, the questions on the survey which are shown in the screenshots below have been structured this way because I believe this questions allowed us to find out the best feedback we could get positive and critical. I sent the link for this survey which we be below this text to people and put it on social media in order to gain a wider response to our work, also by sending it on social media I believe that it will reach my target audience which is the feedback we want to gain because they are the people we aimed to please when producing our work. This is the link to the survey we produced: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HHSJJCJ

I have asked four people about our rough cut and what they think through Facebook. I will ask them again when we get the final cut done so we can see what improvements we have made and what we think. The images are below of our feedback.

This is the rough cut for our music video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQVijqaIPeU

We decided to film on two days in order to give ourselves plenty of time to get what we wanted but during these two days we filmed some in the light and some in the dark to see what we would prefer and what looks better. After doing that on the first day we looked at the footage on the second day and decided the daytime looks better therefore we redone bits so it looked more professional. Some of our good points during filming were that we came up with new ideas which will be shown in the final cut of our music video, such as in the song it talks about running from myself therefore we decided it would be a good idea to have the main character running from himself which shows our good editing skills in order to pull it off. A bad point from our filming day would be the first day when we recorded in the light the footage had a green tint to it therefore we had to redo them part which means we lost out on time and the overall time to film increased due to this but we managed to deal with ...

The song choice we are using for the music video  Naughty Boy - Runnin' (Lose It All) ft. Beyoncé, Arrow Benjamin  which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJSik6ejkr0 Is there a common theme to their videos? This music video is based around two people trying to reach out to each other in the ocean, sea or some kind of deep water. They don't really do much but run towards each other which is in the lyrics of the music video. There is no common theme in there music videos compared to this one because it is very unique to any other music video.

A basic overview of our music video is that a guy is experiencing loneliness due to his girlfriend leaving him therefore due to this he doesn't know where to go as he feels so alone. From this we are going to show different shots of him trying to remove her from his life by burning photos and dropping them in rivers to show that he's trying to move on but is finding it hard to do so. We will use three locations in order to have variation in scenery and show that he's walking about a lot thinking about all the time. The costume and props are basic as we don't need to complicate them but make it realistic to the music video we want to create so having the teenage but at the same time represent loneliness of wearing dark clothing. The props will be a lighter and photos so that it can make it clear on what his thoughts are and also using the lighter adds in another kind of lighting type. The actor being used is Aaron, Harvey was there to be more of a backup if we couldn...
