Final draft of the digi pack and advert (Anciliry task)

Our final music video

Below is the final draft of our music video: -

Q4: - How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

I initially used various search engines such as Google, Wikipedia and YouTube to look up bands and songs connected to the genre. I also put many on my blog. I then used things like scribed, keep vid, Jing, Live Type and Imovie to get the ball rolling on starting to create our music video. I then used an arrange of media's to help make our project look more professional these include Da font, pick nick, Photoshop and picsearch (these were only used during the making of the digi packs).

Q3: - What have you learned from your audience feedback?

My audience commented on the pace of editing stating that it was on the beat and that it was in tome with the lyrics. They also said that the costumes and equipment being used were very fitting with the type of music we were doing and connected to this when I asked them to comment on the sort of colours being used they were appropriate and that they didn't look out of place and that they would have expected to see them and other similar variations. This screen capture best displays that in my opinion.

When I asked them to say what they would change they suggested changing some of the cutaways in particular they mentioned the one where Freddie is performing with tape over his mouth because they felt that it didn't make sense (as shown in the screen capture below) and also that it didn't fit in with the music video's message. They also stated that in parts they suffered form viewer fatigue due to some of the performance extracts being too long so possibly quicker editing or more cutaways are needed.

Q2: - How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

I believe the combination of both our music video and the digi pack and the advert is very effective because they both complement each other well and vice versa. If these were to be used in a live situation fans would easily would be able to identify with the genre of music being played and able to grasp basic information through the advert and digi pack enabling them to gather a basic idea about what Burnt Through Your Mind are about and what their message and ideals are.

We achieved this also thought the use of genre related fonts and colour schemes that also help with band image and purpose for instance Burnt Through Your Mind and Blood Red Ocean make me thin of the colour Red so Red is the colour we used for the album name.

Below are copy's of our front outer panel  of our digi pack (left) and our advertisement poster (right). We  originally had both the band name "Burnt Through Your Mind' and "Blood Red Ocean" the album both in red. We then changed this and moved the band name up into the top lift hand conner when people started getting confused as to which was the album name and which was the band's title it didn't help the fact that these hear are the final draft (Right) and the second draft (Left) were even harder to differ between the two.

Q1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Similar to other digi packs and adverts within our chosen metal genre ours have a similar colour scheme, image and style. We specifically looked at things like framing of images clothing of performer and colours used within the adverts. We came to a decision after we came up with the band name Blood Red Ocean.

Our music video mostly complimented the genre we had decided also looking at things like performer/ band identity we all thought about it in depth and I believe we all had our own individual traits and image for instance my character always wears gloves both in the advert and when performing.

For both types of image we framed them similarly and again used similar colouring also in terms of Mise en Scene we wore similar costumes that fitted in with the chosen genre and with the video as well.

Below is a copy of our Director's commentary in which I explain some of the conventions we used and why we used them: -
