Digipak- Final Version

Below is the final version of our digipak, it's come a long way since our first draft. We decided to go for a 6 panel instead of a 4 panel to make it look more like a digipak rather than a CD. Each panel has strong links to our music video, and the bold colour scheme is in place of the animations.

Survey Monkey

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/B5Q2NSG

Here's the link to the survey I created to get some anonymous feedback on our video. I thought that a survey would be an easy way of getting a fair amount of feedback from a variety of people as it can be distributed simply by sharing a link. As well as this, as its anonymous, it allows for respondents to be more honest than they would perhaps be face to face.

Possible Survey Questions

Here's a list of some possible questions to include in our Audience Feedback survey. As we are using SurveyMonkey to create and distribute our survey, we can only ask 10 questions so a couple of these will have to go.

For our evaluations, it is important to get a wide range of audience feedback so that we can learn from and improve upon what we have made. A survey can be easily distributed to a vide range of people of different ages, locations, etc, and are a quick and simple way of getting feedback.

Audience Feedback- Mary

After showing Catherine the music video she went home and filmed her mum watching it for us! This was really helpful as it allows us to get an adults perspective on it, rather than all teenagers. I think Mary enjoyed it, especially as it's a song she already knew.

Upside-down Vlogs

Something we've noticed with our vlogs on some of our posts is that they're all uploading to to YouTube upside-down. When they're preparing and uploading onto YouTube they're the right way round, but as soon as they publish they've been flipped upside down. I've Googled ways to fix this but to no avail, and I've even tried to rotate the video outside of YouTube, but it's still not working. It doesn't make sense as they were filmed on different days but it seems that they just will not upload properly. I'll keep trying to find a way to fix this.

Audience Feedback- Catherine

Our friend Catherine played a really important role in the making of this music video, so getting her opinion on the final product was great! Though she was in it, we only filmed with her for a few days so she really had no idea what the shots from other days were like and how they were going to be put together. The animations were also something she'd never seen, and from this we can see she really liked them.

Audience Feedback- Sophie

In this video, Sophie is watch an incomplete version of our video. At this stage, we've added afew animations but not all of them, and from this you can see that she agrees there should be more. We had already planned to add some more animations but its great to get an audience's opinion too!

Audience Feedback- Class

In class today we got some initial feedback on our music video from the other groups, and were able to ask them some questions about what they got from it. Though we didn't show the completed version, the footage is edited together the way it will be in the final version, but we are yet to add animations. Once we have finished our video completely, we will get some more feedback.

From this, we learnt that all of the audience understood the narrative of the story and accepted the dominant reading, but there was a comment which suggested that we could make it more specific and clear as to where our character would be in London as it's such a large city and impossible to cover all of it in a day. Other than this, there were no issues and our audience liked the use of the colour red and the handheld camera.

Audience Feedback Questions

1) Apart from some shots being too long, are there any issues with shots?
2) Is the narrative clear?
3) Does the feel of 'London' come across? (through locations, etc?)
4) Does the song fit with what's onscreen?
5) Does the handheld camera work fit with the idea that the protagonist is rushing?
