Evaluation Part 2,In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

EVALUATION


Introduction: Within theses two video are all the explanations about the music video we've done, this also help us to talk in detail about each convention we've use and the impact it had on the video and the viewer.  These two videos are point of view from the target audience but also a summery of our experience and the skill gain compared to the production that we have done last year. in the first video we express the different way in which we've been challenge by the different form of convention that exist in real media product.the evaluation i have done to help me create and adapt my music video to the Target audience. this video has been really helpful to give feedback about the music sound, asual as the feedback we ensured that a different ethnicity and gender have been take to express their point of view about the different question we had








The three product that me and team members have product have been examined by potential target audience student who give me and my group the ability to reflect on our production. Positive points as well as negative point have been express trough out the examination. The colour were well represented in the video as it reinforce and conform to all convention present in R&B music video. The protagonist is perplex each situation as he is more than explicit on his lyrics, facial expression or things that it may do (straight facial exppression ). The simplicity of the artist with and gold watch express how the target audience can identify him as( simple and wealthy). The final magazine have been made with loads of changes in comparison to the draft that I previously done. The draft incorporated the face of Ratlin seen as a close up with key props to relate to the music video. Never less me and my group have decided to make it more simple and using specific colour to relate to the digipak and give a them to the three production ( romance, passion, heart broken). When the target audience were talking about the music it directly conform to all convention that we used. 
Many video have been taken as inspiration as the target audience is the same. Therefore the reason why i can say that i tried to follow as many code of convention as possible as it enables me to work efficiently and to ensure that by three product are directly recognise as R&B genre videos. This also conform to the  repetition and difference theory, here the same convention are used but with a different storyline, so the target audience can be captivated and still find it eye catching. We tried to mix different r&b video together. Firstly the 50 cent song (21 question) lyrics relate to the lyric of my chosen music song with question about love, adding to that both rappers uses the same method of singing by rapping. The first video on your left is a story life which same as my video conform to real life story and late the target audience relate and emphasis in this situation. I like the emotion given to the viewer as it subvert to the actual stereotype of gangsters who are known as individual who don't have feeling and reinforce their reputation throughout the action they do (murder, robbing).
To reinforce the fact that the main character had money and ware wealthy it was considerably important to look at r&b video who show through their customs and props how successful they were. The featuring of Usher and R-Kelly were taken into consideration just to attract the target audience in a way. Mainly used for the gold and bling bling affect to let my target audience aware of the desire of the protagonist who have everything but still stay unhappy about the fact that the woman he loves mess around with him.
Same as the video of Kelly Roland and Nelly we wanted to merge a story line and the performance together. Going on the same emotion and narrative this video is exactly the same emotion we wanted to use as example. The final production of my music video have been edited in the purpose of letting the audience captivated and relate to or if not thinking about this issue and have visceral pleasure are (a feeling of revolted)






conclusion:

The idea of selecting a different category of people helped me and my group members to differentiate our target audience but also to get different point of view in the way we can make our target audience more attracted and maybe attract other target audience categories.

Weekly focus evaluation and editing 3





Evaluation:


I have made some video and analyse them but I find it not really interesting because my questions and the students’ answers were not going to depth. This helps me to realise and to search for question that will raise the difference between the target audience and me as a producer.  During my time of planning I was also doing some of my coursework such as the digipack and the cover magazine. We had to use Photoshop to make the image professional and it was a bit difficult for us because we never use this before. But with time we manage to work with final cut pro and implement some picture and play with it, during time of using photoshop we had different ideas and it help us to enhance the quality of our digipak and our main cover magazine picture. each colours were used for a specific purpose and it general we could identify the synergy of it. We believe that in the future we can use photoshop for new production, adding to that we gain loads of skill by sharing the work and ensure one helping each other the team work skill was on point and we had fun learning the and using these different platform. the only issue we had is the uploading process where we had some difficulties to add new video and etc...

Evaluation Part 1 Brief blog entry with hyperlinks § permission email


Chosen Song
Veronnica Wolpendz

       I ordain

Genre : Soul
Will i see you in my dreams?
The universe tell me dead
What I see could be
But you’re so fare
From me
The universe scripturis
For the replay   to begin
I ordain that ocean to become dreams
I ordain that mountain moves
May my way be stronger than today
Space and time so that you can be one
My desire call you near
No you’re nowhere near you’re now here
In my heart
I ‘am you and you're me
Nowhere but now here that’s where
Will be
I ordain that ocean become dreams
I ordain that mountain moves
May my way be stronger than today
Space and time so that you can be one
Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Haaaahaaahaaaaa



I decide to choose a soul genre music video because I liked the idea of being different and create a piece of work completely different to others. Usual as the fact that I wanted to be unique I believe that this music video would challenge me in different way such as finding conventions and ensure that the protagonist is seen as a star as personality.

Analise :

The genre of this song is soul,  from this song we can denote the meaningfull lirics and sad feeling expressed. Throught the song melody and lyric we are able to found the genre of the song, i believe that the instrument used within the song reinforce the soul character and stereotype sensible and fragile femal image that the target audiance may have with feeling such as the sad feeling that you ear from it. Within this song we can connote the emotion as a mix of reality and imaginary as we can read on the first verset. Link to the singer musical influence and character i am able to denote the expression that the singer want to express. The sensasion that the combination of the lirics and the melodie express sadness and reinforce the soul genre target audiance, which search for sincerity and and tallented voice or good equipment song.  This song have a multitude of interpretation tis is interresting in order toatract a variaty of people.From the soul music video called “ I ordain”, I was thinking to show the sensational and“spiritual” emotion that the music tried to express. I would use one or two character maximum within the music video however I believe that the best location would be outside in a park or next to a natural place. My artist was….A black woman who took inspiration from stars a personality such as Sade or Alicia keys which sing different songs however they style incorporate their own version and style to their song.

This music video appeal to a niche target go individuals. My target audience is emotional and sensitive people in reason that the soul genre of music is often slow with interesting lyrics and tone voice. The song genre come from gospel, blues and jazz music therefore why the majority of the target audience is black,
My target audience is principally based on  female gender depending on the artist and the musical influence that it have. Soul genre as for connotation sad and think full.

This can impact the target audience because it involve feeling and meaning full words. In order to be related to people life style.
20 and older
Male<female
Emotional and sensitive
Black and white (globalisation)

The theme of this song is purity and escapism because of the genre and the fact that its a female can tell more about her character, sensible dreamer and real. this music and the principal theme says a lot about the artist for instance it show that she is a star as personality as she's creating  she now type of music.

Weekly focus evaluation1

Evaluation:


This week was interesting because i was able to look back to my final video and ,
make some changes but most importantly i revise the first part of my exam coming up and i notice that everything was about what i have done last year and this year.last year compared to this year my work was inefficient because i didn't put a 100% of myself with may teachers who were not allay in, i was a bit lost. however compare to last year this year was better as i was able to get more knowledge of i used to do thing such as the photoshop or blogger that i never used before. the teacher play a huge part of my progress because it teaches us all convention and key factor when doing our production. i learnt a lot this year and i mostly enjoyed every whorl and research i have done so far.

Production





The production that I have done so far was fantastic because I had the time to do everything I was planning to do and the cast members were willing to act and work efficiently for the technical part to be done. This part was when I went to the house of a friend to do my storyline, I decide to meet up with the one of the team members and go the house of a friend with all the props, costume and element needed to finish of the seen at home. 


What skill and other key element satisfied you from this period?

Well.!  think that the fact that I manage the situation and that the cast member was ready showed me that they wanted to help me for my video. On top of that I tried to use many angle and many shoots so repeat the same scene many time. In overall I really like it because we had fun doing this video and people were relax and not frustrated angry time I was doing anything. As want it to make sure that we won't have to redo the same scene and exaggerated on the different element used such as the cigar.


The next step is the part on the lift were we see the women cheating on her man with another man by meeting him on the lift.
