Answering Evaluation Q's 2 & 3

I have created a survey to collect data to find out how well my media products work together as a whole. This will help me with evaluation questions 2 and 3. I hope to find where I have done well and where I could have improved. This information will be very useful to me. I created the survey using www.SurveyMonkey.com. I will email out the link to the survey along side the link to my music video and I will attach the images of my advert and Digipak.

Work on my digipak & advert can be found in recent blog posts. Final changes to the products are being made now, and the confirmed final versions will be on the blog by Monday...

Evaluation Introduction

Now that I have completed my music video, advert and digipak, the final step in the process is to evaluate my entire project by answering these questions in great depth and detail. I will use a multitude of different medias to create detailed responses: such as online questionnaires, videos and press. This will offer me the final opportunity to showcase the skills that I have gained through the duration of this two year course. 

Below are the questions which I must respond to for this evaluation and I will be completing thorough responses to these questions in the coming days...

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

• How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

• What have you learned from your audience feedback?

• How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation  stages?

Digipak Final

 Final alterations needed to be made to my digipak before I could confirm it to be complete. I have added in the text of album name, band name, and record label to the white side slips of the digipak after I realised my mistake in originally forgetting it.

My teacher did then point out that my digipak didn't in fact feature the name of the album on any of the covers; I pointed out that hugely successful album's like Arctic Monkeys debut 'What People Say I Am Thats What I'm Not' or their newest album 'AM' didn't feature the album name in the digipak. The solution that came of this discussion was to have a sticker on one the versions of my digipak, which would be meant for CD stores like HMV (which might insist on having the album on the cover for advertising reasons), so that is what I have done and the result is below.



As you can see I have used a block from advert to make this sticker on the cover of my album, which when produced would simply pull off if one wished, but it would remind them of what the album is called, which of course is effective advertising. The use of my advert in my digipak demonstrates the consistency and synergy between the two products, as it has given me something practical to fall back to when necessary to use.

Album Poster Done

Digipak Nearly Done

My Digpak is nearly complete. As promised it is completely made up of screenshots of music video which have been meticulously edited using Fotor, and Abode Photoshop; to enhance, blur, and to add text and writing to images.

 

Final Cut

Pretty sure this is my final cut, as little sound and timing glitches have been corrected. Enjoy!
