Music Video Evaluation (Barrington)

Evaluation

How did that Video work?

The video worked through the hard work and consistency of the producers, editors and actors as well as the audience they all worked as a team for.

We all learnt many lessons from the experience, for example; We learnt how to take leadership roles, make quick decisions and/or improvising where necessary, the procedures, advantages and disadvantages of filming music videos; only naming a few.

 What would make it better?

It would have been better if we had more money to fund our production. This means we may have had more lighting equipment, better cameras/actors/props, and overall more variety in the video without as many limitations.

Also if there were more people working on the project, we may have got work done faster, with less effort and to a higher standard.

 What did the people who Helped, Watched or Shot the video think?

They thought that there were a few minor draw-backs throughout the project’s duration. However only small changes were suggested. These changes included adding Aspect ratio, different background footage and a more detailed story, which after explanation were withdrawn and understood.

What will I do differently next time?

Next time, we’ll hope to begin working MUCH faster and be hands-on with the ideas and processes we’ll need to take on. We also hope to add more locations and equipment with better funding or different providers to contribute towards our project. We will also choose our editing software beforehand to ensure quick, reliable movement with no delay through the course of our work.

600 Words

I had many targets, aims and objectives I had to achieve during my time creating my six-week media project. They were all self-made and had to be structured in a specific manner.

This included: 

Form/meaning

Structure/Strategy

Realism

However these must be broken down before adding to the ideas.

Form/Meaning: Meaning where and how it will take place. This includes locations, People needed to help create the project and the equipment/resources needed

Structure/Strategy: How it has been planned (It's order of occurrence) and how it will actually happen step-by-step planning. Structure meaning the formation of what ever is taking place.

Realism: Is the target reachable, achievable and realistic.

The targets I met include filming my Video profile (Six Week Project), Planning my video out according to my preferences, establishing the task in hand and learning about what I’ll need to do to help turn any ideas I had into a reality, Editing my Video Profile and Evaluating it.

Strategy wise I had to display a large range of various skills in the process of completing my Video Profile Project over the six weeks I had.

This included:

·      Learning and listening

This meant I had to learn what the task was, where I had to do it and how I was going to achieve my goal of completing the task. This also included brief lessons on basic shots and the types/ forms they can come in. I also was introduced to new programs and platforms for publishing (e.g. Prezi, Blogger and Google Mail) in which I had to use to publish my work in stages during the process of my task, used to and a way for me to show my progress and how I was coming along with the task at-hand.

·      Planning

Before I could actually begin my Video Profile I had to plan the stages and steps I’d need to take in order to achieve.

I used a variety of methods including targets, goals and objectives, my log book which helped me to keep track of and have easy access to my targets, goals and objectives while allowing me to jot down my progress and review my own work, I chose to use story board boxes to allow me to draw visual imagery to help pitch my idea and help me to gather the necessities, precautions and visual work-frame needed to make it happen. I also used scripts and spoke to my classroom peers, friends and family in order to acquire help and assistance in the production, editing and planning of the video; I even obtained feedback in the form of the 5 comments on my video.

·      Filming

This was the practical side of my work, the shots, locations and organization needed to take into editing and producing my outcome, basing my practical production on what I wanted the end result to look like, helping me by making editing less of an effort.

I learnt more about my classmates, made friends and even used them to help me in the long run toward my end result.

I used their skills and resources to help for example, I used Ash, Kiana and Elizabeth to help me to film the actual production, using Anton to help me also films, I used Kiana again to help me record the narrative then used my own skills to edit with slight assistance from Sue, Kiana and Barrington.

I learnt more about myself in regards to what I can actually achieve with little time to obtain the high standards I am consistently searching for and learned more toward my ability to work as a team and leadership skills.

Analysis of Television Adverts

Analysis of Television Adverts

Example 1:

Cow & Gate: Supergroup (http://www.bestadsontv.com/ad/48008/Cow-Gate-Supergroup) (Platform for advert was Television, however this specific platform is a chart on best adverts of 2012 found on 'Bestadsontv.com')

In the Video (Cow & Gate: Supergroup) we see a child walking into a room, looking lost she stumbles upon a range of instruments. A congregation of children gather and are intreged by the instruments and begin experimenting and playing with them. After a small test-run of the instruments. The toddlers begin to play music in sync. The whole concept of the advert is to 'feed their personalities', implying that the product will help them do extraordinary things, keep them creative and self expressive; which seems healthy and as the better option to any alternatives. The target audience are parents of babies or toddlers, which explains the use of toddlers and babies in the advert making the advert fit for it's purpose.

The image and audio quality is clear, professional and almost like a short film, however I am unaware of the memory size or file format. There are a range of different camera shots from establishing, C.U(close-ups) and M.S (mid-shots)
