Evaluation introduction

The following post will evaluate my work. It discusses in depth my products and challenges the Andrew Goodwin theory.

My final video

Here is my final music video. Unfortunately, Blogger will NOT allow full HD videos to be uploaded from either YouTube or directly of a PC/MAC, so I have had to export two versions of my video. A HD version (which is available through this link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1e7BYryWGo) or this medium quality version which is the highest quality blogger will accept and can therefore be viewed directly. Next I will complete my blog by uploading a brief commentary discussing my video with peers.  

Questionnaire

Below is the questionnaire I presented to my classmates who completed it and handed it back to me so I will present some results on the next post to put improvements and positives into perspective.

Questionnaire for Ancillary Products Feedback

1.    What do you think of my products as a whole set?

2.    Do you think they are correctly presented and therefore aimed at my target audience correctly?

3.    Do you think they could sell in shops with this design?

4.    Is there anything you dislike about them?

5.    What would you change on any of them if you could?

6.    Any other comments?

Reposted Final Products

To the left are my finished ancillary products. I will ask for feedback using a questionnaire I have created (I will post this as well) and display/discuss the results. After this I will post the finished video, followed by evaluation both in power-point form and a video diary of it.

Finalizing my Work

I will soon post the finished video. Im am currently changing the last few videos to perfectly mimic the words of the song. I also need to shoot around another 90 seconds of combined footage and then I will add some transitions as well as adjust the videos visuals to complete it. I will also repost the rest of the final ancillary products together when I have completed my poster (Poster, CD cover front and rear and the CD design) so that we can remind ourselves of the finished project all in one space. I will then ask for feedback and evaluate myself, my work and outline the improvements. I will then take into consideration all the feedback both from my peers and myself and apply it where I feel change is necessary.    

Final Poster

Here is my final poster. The changes I have made from the last one are minimal but are obvious. As mentioned in previous posts, I had to change the Eminem actor from Tom to Nathan so it meant the wrong actor was on the front of my poster. So I simply replaced the photo so now it is accurate. I was previously happy with the layout and colour so I haven't changed anything else. I will now

Small issues

I have had to use two people in the making of my video which would make it appear that one artist are played by two different actors, however in the real video for "Just lose it", Dr Dre features in part of it and I will therefore use Tom to play the part of Dre and Nathan to play Eminem. That way I have used multiple actors and it also means I can solve what would appear to be a 'problem' of changing actors. I will also make sure that the audience is aware of this fact by including both names in the credits at the end and also including Nathan's face on the poster as HE is now Eminem and NOT Tom as originally intended.

Video editing + progression

Ive filmed the majority of my video now and it needs editing. I will therefore dedicate more time to do that and finish my last poster design. Then I will have all my products and be in the finishing stages of my music video, today I managed to edit the first verse without any changes to the videos themselves e.g transitions, contrast and I also need to remove the sounds on the video and add the mp3 file. Before I add the transitions etc I will finish shooting the footage as I still need to do the three choruses and a small amount in one verse. You will also note that I have posted around 9 of the raw videos, I may post the rest however it takes time and then it will take up a couple of web pages. But at least then it will be apparent what I have edited and how much.

Filming and notes

Below I've posted two parts of the video that have so far been unedited because I haven't shot enough to add it to anything. Therefore today, I am going to shoot the majority of it all if not all of it. That way I can get at least a first draft created and posted hopefully followed by my final. Additionally my other products are done except my final poster which can be done in around half an hour after I get back into school and get personal opinions.
