Firstly we decided to upload the final version of the video onto the social networking site, Facebook as we felt that it would be able to be visible to a variety of different ages so that there would be a different target audiences commenting to see who it attracted to the most...
From this we found the feedback from Facebook interesting as one of the comments was very detailed and allowed us to have a clear understanding of someone else's view of the music video.
After we then used the other social network of Twitter, we twitted one of the original band members of Misteeq (the band which originally sung the song), she then retweeted the link of our video so that more people were able to view it and get feedback from...
This is the final digipack design in which I have created. I have included all the main codes and conventions of a digipack in the design, remembering to include similar qualities of design from the music video.
Today, we felt that it was time to complete the music video, touching up the final pieces that people felt we needed to change due to the feedback from others. We decided to watch the video for the final time and make the final changes, we sat with Amy as she edited the changes in which we felt needed to be deleted and changed.
Things that we changed in this time:
- We cut down the green screen, crime scene shots as we felt from the feedback that people thought it was too long.
- We added more shots of the boy throughout the video so people were now able to see more of a storyline of why the girls have been arrested.
- We also changed small parts of the video that we felt were out of sync and needed to be changed.
Today, we showed our music video to our Media class, this is the second time we have shown it to them. The first time they viewed it we was only half way through our editing. However, now we have come to the final stage of our editing. We also, showed our class our digipaks and posters in addition to our video. Generally the feedback was very positive but according to the feedback we received there are still some minor things we need to adjust. Below is a prezi I made on the feedback we received from our class.
Below are the quotes people used to feedback their thoughts and feelings about the music video produced, these were taken on board after and we decided to use these to edit small parts of the video so that it was the final touched up version, this then is followed by the ways in which we are going to change the video because posting as the final piece.
Good Feedback:
- 'Really, really good'.
- 'Liked the car scenes'.
- 'Mise-en-scene good/appropriate to image trying to convey.'
- 'The colours used in the video: red, black and white.'
- 'Like the crime scenes'.
- 'The editing, speeding up the shots'.
- 'The fast pace walking to the camera'.
- 'Night scene with Laura, the lighting is good'.
The things that need to be improved for the FINAL VERSION: - 'What happens to the boy? Never see him again in any shots after the car park scene with Amy' - With this we decided that we would add the clip of the boy looking scared in the video when the girl group is coming towards the screen so that it could connote that they are taking control and he appears more so it's less of a mystery.
- 'Too much crime scene at the end' - With this we are going to cut down some of the song towards the end so that the scene is shorter as people felt it went on for too long.
These are the scanned feedback images from our class pitch of the first draft of our music video of Scandalous. The higher percentage of the feedback was positive and was helpful for our group to listen to as we were able to understand what people who haven't yet witnessed the video thought. There were still gaps in the video, including some black out shots and missing video but we wanted to show what we had made so far.
The feedback below shows evidence of what people rated and thought of our music video at the stage we was at.
The final effect we wanted to add to the music video was adding text to the video which linked to Goodwin's theory in which we previously researched at the beginning of the project. This was decided as we wanted to think of new effects in which could be added to the music video, we liked the idea of covering the screen with a variety of different texts and words across the screen throughout the music video so that the video would look more chaotic, linking to the representation of the group being 'scandalous'.
This then lead to the research of the music video of Rihanna, 'You do one', this video included text throughout that video in different fonts. These texts also included the relationship between lyrics and video due to the lyric words showing on the video when the song was being sung. We all really liked this idea and decided that this was the final effect that needed to be added to our music video before we could officially say it was finished.
The next stage of this we then decided was to start looking at different fonts and words in which we would add, including the designs that could then be added to the music video final piece.
At this stage of the music video coursework, Megan has almost completed the editing of the video as we have given ourselves the deadline of the end of the week as we want to get it uploaded and finished. Megan is at the stage of tidying the music video up, making sure that the lip syncing to the music is all correct and that everything links to the music beat.
This included making sure that all the shots of the green screen images were tidy and all matched up with each other.
Remembering to include different shots in the music video, the decision of a split screen of each band member throughout the video was added.
The last thing in which needs to be done to the music video is to add the text and the beginning of the music video and that is the final stage of the music video.
