Finished evaluation!

Apologies for not blogging in ages, we have had a very hectic time finishing up our ancillary products, music video and now our evaluation. Finally our evaluation is complete. Here all four questions are:

Question 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?




Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and your ancillary tasks?

Prezi question 2

Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?



Question 4: How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?






Enjoy :) THANK YOU!!!

Final magazine poster

This is our final magazine poster advertising the CD that our track would be on, we feel it fits with a generic magazine poster and contains stereotypical aspects that a poster should have.

FINAL CD SLEEVE



(Don't take notice of the 'front cover' 'left cover' as I used different ones for each cover)

CD SLEEVE

We have finally finished the CD sleeve yaaaaay!!!

Before I post the CD sleeve itself, throughout the process I create a very brief powerpoint showing each stage I went through to create the entire CD sleeve. I think it shows each layer really well so I'll pop that up first!

A little look at our evaluation so far

Here's a very very rough draft of our evaluation - 
Ruby has almost finished the 3rd question however it was on her computer so it would have taken an aaggeee to get it over to my computer then import it into the powerpoint, but we will add that into our evaluation as soon as it's finished. 
The movie clips we have added in are not complete either - this is really just a quick look at what our final evaluation will look like! 



Update

Over the last few weeks Ruby and myself have been extremely busy, and similiarly throughout this half term holiday we have been busy each day with rehearsals hence the lack of blog posts. So here's a quick update of where we are at;

SO, two weeks ago we made plans to reshoot every single shot that we needed to redo and also to do the photoshoot with Amber and Max that would help us finish our ancillary projects. However, about 3 days before the reshoot was planned Max unfortunately broke his leg, and 3 days after needed to go in for an operation on it - of course this meant we were unable to reshoot for the time being and also we were unable to decide when we could reschedule due to Max's injury being extremely bad.

We also realised that with his injury Max has to be on crutches constantly, and also has a mechanism on his leg keeping it all in place - this would have a terrible impact on the video in terms of continuity, after discussing with our teacher we decided there was nothing really we could do for this and it would have to become a 'joke' throughout the video that in one shot he has crutches and the next he doesn't. Ruby and I wanted there to be another way around this as we feel it will just make the video look terrible but in all honesty there's nothing else we can do for it. 

In the holidays we tried to schedule a day that we could all reshoot the footage and shoot the ancillary task photos. Unfortunately there wasn't a single day that everyone could make, this was because of things like Ruby, Amber and I all having university auditions throughout the week, and then the whole cast were at full day rehearsals 3 of the days. Again there's nothing we could do about this.

Ruby and I have discussed our options from here, we both feel we would really like to reshoot as much footage as possible but next week we have a school show wednesday- saturday, and I am away the Monday and Tuesday. After this we have a group of Americans coming to stay with us for two weeks and by this time the deadline will be over. The only thing we can think of doing is to try and make the music video look as good as possible via editing and cutting and chopping parts of it - we are aware that at the moment our music video is no where near as good as we want it to be but in these circumstances there's little we can do. 

Today we are continuing to work on our evaluation and our ancillary tasks, the latter is difficult without the photographs we want to use so we would like to take some photos when we are back at school in a lunchtime possibly. 

Bye for now!
