Completed Webpage

Here is a screen shot of my new webpage, with the upload f my music video.

Focus Group - Music Video

For my focus group I am going to get people of my age and also my form tutor to get involved as they are my bracket for my target audience, my form group is actually very small so the number of students in there is a reasonable number for a focus group. My focus group will be shown in my form group on Monday 31st January in the morning. From my focus group I am aiming to find out what people actually think of my music video project. And I am hoping that everyone who is involved will be honest and willing to tell the truth about what they think. This will make my questions I ask more reliable and more useful to me. In my focus group I am going to film my responses of what people think. This is a easier way to receive the information people give me, and I will not miss anything that someone says especially if I was to miss something that was very important to me, which could help me out in researching what people thought. After filming my Focus Group I am going to place a link on to blogger so it is easy to find.

Focus Group - Music Video Questions

As a group we have decided that we are going to organise a focus group which we film to show what people think of our music video. We have decided to use a focus group as I believe it is much more effective than a questionnaire as it is more useful as we are more likely to receive more sensible answers than a normal online questionnaire. It will also be easier than waiting for answers from out online questionnaires from SurveyMonkey which is linked to my Facebook and twitter account.

1. What was your first impressions of the project?

2. Do you feel that you understood the narrative (story)?

3. Did you enjoy watching this video, did it hold your attention?

4 What did you like about this music video?

5. Is there anything that you think would make the music video better?

6. After watching this music video, would you be interested to look at the website, or the single cover for the song, why?

7. What was your favourite part of the Music Video?

Changes on my webpage 19-Jan-2011

Today I changed my idea of my banner on my webpage as I believed that my first banner was not very well edited so I decided to change the banner to the single cover. Which shows that my banner will change a lot depending on when new singles or albums are coming out. It almost gives the audience a sneak peak into the music video. Also instead of having 'Fan Uploads' I decided to change it to "Behind the scenes' as I believe the audience to my webpage will be more intrigued in seeing images from behind the scenes of the new music video. Also I decided to move the social group logos from the top of the page to the bottom as the target group being more around my age of 18, I would click straight on to the Facebook logo and this would turn me away from the webpage. This would lose the audience from my webpage. I also updated the webpage by changing the album which was on there to my own DigiPak which is my single.

This is a image of how my webpage looked before I made changes to it.




Here is the new webpage with the changes. Their is also one more change that I have to change and that is just to upload my final video. A video is on the page this is where my music video project is going to be placed.

Below is a screenshot of the design in which I used to create my project.



Here is my final digipak project.

Blog Update 5th January 2011 and class feedback

Today we carried on editing our music video and the only problem that we had was the rendering of the video. This made the video hard to edit as it was taking to long to load. This also made the video hard to watch, which made it difficult to find mistakes. We began to use different effects on the Mac which we used colouring, such as black and white.

Group feedback;

In our class today we went round to everyones video project and suggested what could be changed and what we liked on their video. The feedback for my groups video was as followed;

- The black and white is a good effect, it makes the detail stand out more and has greater impact.
This is good feedback for my group as this is what we were aiming for we wanted our video to be different. The black and white effect does not last long because as soon as our tramp puts the headphones on the colour goes back to bright.

- It goes from having no children in the shot, to loads (like they just appear out of nowhere).
This I found interesting because as a group we did not even notice this mistake as we knew why there was more children around. But to a different audience they did not. We have decided to put in a black out after the shot of the teacher at the window as this makes it look like time has passed.

-Someone is filming in the left hand corner
Something that my group did not spot. We are going to fix this as it is a good shot to keep. To fix this we are going to trim the frame of the clip to cut me who is filming out.
