Evaluation

Me and Sofia realise that the lip sync of our music video may potentially let us down a little as it also effected other areas of the video which the audience pointed out. Bearing that in mind we think that the rest of the video had a positive outcome with mostly good comments about the video and both our ancillary tasks. We were lucky enough to have audience feedback throughout the process of this project, so we did take it on board to make slight changes to our music video, web page and magazine advertisement.

Both me and Sofia have done separate evaluations, but I have not got the original music video saved onto my area (it is saved on Sofia's computer) therefore I will not be able to show it on Movie Maker, instead I can show you print screens and I will put our final music video below (or next to) the first evaluation question so that you can access it easily.

Information that you should know:  As you now know, our band consists of different ethnic minorities, the name of the curvier band member with the fringe is Jess, she plays the keyboard, the band member with the red hair is Alice who plays the tambourine and finally the band member from a black ethnic minority is Genelle-the lead singer.
Unfortunately, some of the pictures for question one haven't shown up and instead came up with a black image, I think there was a problem when trying to publish the video.
Question 1

Final music video (please refer to it when looking at all four questions)

More points in relation to question one

I think another convention we could talk about is how one of the band members (Alice) is represented. By this I mean that on the bands official website, the fact file on Alice says that she is the bands 'drummer', but as you can see she is playing the tambourine in this music video. This is distinctly showing her musical talent of playing different instruments and kind of gives of this hippy image as it is a tambourine, which is again challenging the conventions of Soul/RnB music video.

The slowed down effect along with tracking with the camera gave a more dramatic effect here (below)

...as seen in Mary J Blige's video 'Why?' (below)

These are the videos that I made links to in question one

Coldplay-Fix you

The Script ft Will.i.am-Hall of Fame

Question 2-How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Question 3

Question 4

When I was trying to upload the video from my documents onto the blog it didn't work for some reason and a message from blogger said that there was an error. Therefore I uploaded it through YouTube on my channel. Below is the error message. 

Overall, we did face some problems, some were easier to over come then others, such as replacing the school camera and finding a location and having our models ready to perform as well as the website and magazine advert being constructed quite easily and well. Whereas other problems included the change in location and of course the lip sync not being in time and the video not being able to publish after quite a few attempts. I am happy that we started our ancillary research and construction while getting ready to film our main task, I think over come all of these problems we should have started our editing earlier so we could have avoided any errors.
