FeedBack on Ancillary Tasks

To receive feedback on my ancillary tasks I sent the images out on Whatsapp to six contacts. With the feedback I received it has helped me understand what my target audience like and dislike about my products. This helped me with the final decisions on whether to re-edit my final products. In the end I decided that overall there was mainly positive feedback, so I decided to keep my products the same, as they suited my target audience well. 

Target Audience Research

My main target audience will be people aged from 11-18, all though it will be aimed at boys and girls; I feel even though I aiming for both boys and girls, girls will be more drawn to it. It will mainly be aimed at this age group as I feel they will be more interested in my video, than other people who are older. Children that are younger might be interested in it and watch it, but I don't think they will mainly aim to watch this type of pop video. I feel that girls will be mainly drawn to this video as its a pop video, and will be more about love, and fighting/travelling for each other. Boys around this age group aren't interested in the themes for this video they are more interested in games, fighting and sports.

Questionnaire

To help with research into what I should add to my music video and what my target audience are into I sent out 20 questionnaires to boys and girls around the ages of 11-18.
This is the questionnaire I sent out.

Change of Mind

After getting more audience feedback, I have decided to change the song to the original version by Disclosure. After letting a few people watch my video, and after getting their feedback I have decided to re-shoot some parts of my video.
I will be using all the scenic shots in the verses, and in the chorus I will be having Georgia lip syncing the chorus. I will use different shots  of Georgia singing, to create a variation of images. I will film Georgia from different angles and styles to create a variation; I will use mid-shot, close-up, long shot, low angle, high angle, etc.
I will either be shooting Georgia in front of a plain white background, a coloured background; a light yellow or orange colour. I'm also think of shooting Georgia in front of a white black ground to later on create a green screen affect, by putting the shots of Georgia on holiday and all the scenic shots behind her. This will create an affect of representing the holiday as a past event, so she's thinking about it.

Third Draft of Alevel Music

This is my third draft of my music video, I still haven't completed the video, as I feel the storyline isn't coming across, so I need to consider my options of how to betray my storyline better.

Amelia; Likes the song choice, she also likes how the song works with the fireworks, so when the beat goes off, so does the firework. She also likes the storyline, she feels that the storyline was about a girl that goes on holiday and about her life; she also feels like it’s about a relationship but you never see the boyfriend. She likes how I have added the fireworks more than once.

Sarah; Sarah feels both the pool scenes are too long, and that they need to be cut down. Some shots need to edited in terms of colour and picture, but otherwise she thinks its really good.

Becca; Becca likes the song, she also likes the fact that it actually filmed abroad, and that there numerous different locations. She also likes how it shows her journey. She feels its a disjunctive narrative. She likes how I have added the fireworks into the same beat in the song. She feels that if i had gotten shots on the plan it would've made more sense. Becca feels like i need to add more editing techniques. She likes the fact that I've choosen a song that is a remix, so its not well known popular song.

Abbie; Abbie likes the locations of the videos, and how its different in most shots. She also feels the lip syncing was really good, and stayed in time to the music. She feels that Georgia could've acted better, and looked less grumpy during some of the shots. Abbie doesn;t understand the storyline, which is a good point, because at the moment its a disjunctive narrative video. Abbie also feels that the fireworks shots are too long.

Audience Feedback

I have asked several people to watch the video I have produced so far, and give me their honest opinions of how I could improve, what they like and what they dislike.

Susan -
Susan feels there are some fantastic shots so far throughout the music video. However she feels there is no storyline, and she doesn't understand where the storyline is going and how its going to end. Susan feels the scene where Georgia is talking into the camera doesn't work as she can't hear what shes saying and also that the scene of Georgia in the pool doesn't work, as the camera isnt stable enough. Susan also thinks for the chorus I should add a shot of Georgia addressing the camera singing the lyrics; she thinks that Georgia should be dressed up like she would be going out for the night. Susan also feels that I should reverse shot in the mirror for this scene, with a midshot closing up into her face landing on her mouth.

Tayla -
Tayla thought that the landscape shots were really good. There are some good transitions into different scenes, but she doesn't understand the storyline and Tayla feels that the video jumps from different scenes. Also one scene goes from night sky and fireworks, to daylight which doesn't contrast well. Apart from that she thinks its really good and well done so far.

Lily-
She likes the way it doesn't jump cuts, its solid throughout the video. Lily also likes how I filmed it abroad in America, rather than a typical video in England. She also likes how the fireworks and the beats work with the song; she also likes the shot where I'm filming Georgia biking, but I'm also biking behind her so it's following her.

This is the draft that everyone has watched and given me their feedback on.
