Music video questionnaire feedback.

I have made a short PowerPoint on the feedback from the music video questionnaire. I got 7 responses overall and I am very please with the results shown below. The responses from the audience show that my main media product is made to a high standard as I haven't got a score below 4 out of 5. I am very pleased with these results and shows how much effort and detail I put into my work. The comments show the personal responses and I am happy to see them.

Music video questionnaire.

With the main product being the music video I decided to make a simple questionnaire and ask as many people as possible to watch my music video then fill it in. I made questions easy to understand and chose questions which will be useful for me to know for future involvement in media products. I managed to receive 7 peoples feedback from the questionnaire and here is the questionnaire I asked them to complete after watching the music video.

Website completed.

I have now completed the website to the best I could. I am happy with the outcome and think it looks effective as an artists website. I have added a link to the website on the blog. To complete the website I updated the images on the Home page and the Gallery page so that there was different images on each for more interest. Also I added to the 'About' page and wrote a paragraph about Alex Steel's personal life for the audience to relate to him. I touched up the Home page adding a new album to be released and some upcoming news about the artist. This is all shown on the website and looks great linked in with each other.

Last text to complete.

The website www.alexsteel.webeden.co.uk is yet to be finished, I am currently using my time effectively by concentrating on this particular now that the music video and the digi pack is complete. As the deadline is today, I am trying my best to complete which I am confident it will be finished to a high standard by the end of the day.

Completed digi pack.

The digi pack is now completed. I put the images onto photoshop using international paper at a height size of 126mm and a width size of 121 mm. This size fit has been chacked and fits into the digi pack cases perfectly. I am very pleased with the overall outcome of the digi pack I created and believe it looks professional.

Track list questionnaire results.

Here are the results from the questionnaire I sent out to 15 people. As I asked each person to tick 5 responses I got 75 overall. I have put all of the tracks in order of preference and put the number of of responses next to each track. From the results I have decided to use the first 10 of the audience choice so the alnum appeals most to them. To stick with my original idea of 11 tracks from the research I did, I will choose the 11th track from the remaining tracks. I have decided to go with 'Nightlife' as the 11th track. This track did have 3 votes from the audience so is still quite high up on the preference list. I will be adding the track list onto the digi pack tomorrow to finish it off.

Track list questionnaire.

After researching track lsts for alternative rock albums I have made a list below of the quantity of songs they have on each album: Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto - 14 The Sript - Science & Faith - 11 Paramore - Riot - 11 The Pretty Reckless - Light Me Up - 10 The Vaccines - What Did You Expect From The Vaccines - 11 U2 - Achtung Baby - 12 I have created this questionnaire which feature names of songs for the track list to go on the back cover of my digi pack. The questionnaire will help me decide which songs will intrigue the audience and are appropriate for the track list.I have asked 5 members of the audience to tick 5 titles so I get a varied response from the audience. Out of the highest rated titles I will choose 11 tracks as from the research I did the quantity of songs varied from 10 to 11 and 11 was the most common number. However, although 11 is my aim I will be lenient if I think there is too many or too little.

Digi pack images analysed.

This image is the front cover of the digi pack. The audience helped make the decision of this image so it should appeal to them as they have chosen this image. After researching Ed Sheeran's album '+' I saw that he was emerging out of the colour which I liked so I thought to link the front and back cover together I should add some black towards the fold of the cover to link the two sides together and for it to look interesting.I have also used the rule of thirds so the image is easy for the audience to look at and to have his face as the main focus. By choosing a close up of Lyndon with eye contact it is more persoanl and expresses a connection with the audience so they are more intregued by this digi pack. I edited the image so the background was black and white and using Ed Sheeran's album '+' which I researched to mould the background into his face to show a connection. The background isn't vibrant so I can add text on to so I will add the artists name and album title onto the image for the audience to recongnise the name and title. The reason I chose an image with the leaves as the background is so that it links with the music video I created. This shows a connection between the artist and his music, and also gives a hint to what the album track list is consisting of.
This image is the back ground of the digi pack. It links with the front cover with the dark background so it shows it all in one. This image was chosen as it was immediately interesting to the eye and the use of the fire as lighting showed up the artist in the image in an interesting and intriguing way. I hardly edited this image but I think it looks great as the back cover of the digi pack. This image also uses the rule of third so it is easy for the audience to look at and the fact that he is showed on the right side of the cover which is opposite the front cover, it shows a difference between the two close ups. A close up was chosen, even though I chose a close up for the front cover, this image has a strong connection to the audience and is more personal for the audience to look at. The text for the album track list will be added to the left side of this image where it is plain black.
This image is the left inside of the digi pack. The flowers represent the loving of the album and I edited it to black and white so that it links with the outside covers and also adds the mysteriousness to the digi pack. I edited this image so that just one flower is colourful which is quite hard to see, I found this looked interesting and creates wonder in the audiences mind. Using the editing tools I made that one colored flower the focal point whilst the surrounding image is blurred.
This image is the right inside of the digi pack which I cropped from the left inside image. I decided to use a close up of that one flower to add interest and I thought it looked very nice with the black and white effect with the flower in color. This image also links with the music video as the setting was outdoors in the natural surroundings so this image fits right in. I didn't want anything too heavy on this page as this is the page where the CD disc is situated so i tried to work around the centre instead of in it. By doing this I used the rule of thirds which will make it easy for the audience to look at and enjoy. Overall I am happy with the outcome of images and the way I have structured them to create a full digi pack. I shall now be concentrating on adding the text to the images and using photoshop to do so.

Audience choice.

Since asking the audience which front cover they thought was best out of the two I edited, I have managed to use their decisions including my ideas to pick the best cover. The audiences votes were very close between the second and third image, however I felt that to relate the digi pack to the music video it would be more appropriate for brand identity to choose the image with the leaves background to show the link between texts. I am pleased with the outcome and now I need to finish adding text to the pages.
