Questionnaire for Evaluation

 
 
I decided to produce a questionnaire after finishing my music video. I thought this would be helpful when completing the evaluation questions, I can then see if the video was successful and achieved the intention I wanted to create.
 
1.What do you think the main message of the music video is? - I decided to choose this for my first question, as it is vital that the audience understands the meaning of the video. If they dont understand the narrative it won't produce the effect the video is meant to create, which is to highlight the reality of the effects of cancer, and the strong relationships that get ruined because of it.
 
The second question asks the audience the emotion that the actor is portraying throughout the video, again this is important as the intended emotion is sad and was important for the actor to get that across. There are also emotions of happiness involved in the video, this highlights the relationship between the two sisters in the video and the happy moments they shared.
 
The third question asks whether they enjoyed the video, this is an important question to ask as although the video is sad and is menat to be emotional, it's purpose is to be enjoyable for the audience and to leave them walking away thinking about the video.
 
The next question asks about what the audience would change, it is important to recieve constructive critisism from the audience as it then will help me in the future if completing this task again. It makes me realise what I could of improved and what the audience sees from their prospective. 

The final question asks the audience about the future of the song and whether they would be intersted in similar products like this. Again, this is an important question to finish the questionnaire with, it leaves me knowing whether the audience feels the product I created can go further.

Final Digipak All Together

 
I wanted to put the digpak all together to see what it looked like as a final product. I am happy with the way it looks, and can see an improvement from my first draft to the final. What I learnt from the first draft was that there was little colour, which was a danger as it could be seen as 'boring' and 'dull'. I then thought it was vital to include slight colour to attract the audience and create more interest.


Final Draft Back of Digipak


Above is the final draft of the back of the digipak, I am pleased with the outcome. I added colour to this as I thought it would then make the track names stand out. I maintained the colour scheme of grey and burgundy throughout the digipak, therefore it looks more professional. The track names are in capitals and isin the same font that I have used throughout the ancillary tasks, this shows the consistency of the product and with the use of capitals the traks stand out. The image I chose represents the artist looking natural in deep thought, with suggests the theme of the single 'Treasure Time'.

Final Draft Inside of Digipak


I chose this image for the Inside of the Digipak as it is a natural image of the artist playing on the piano. This image represents the type of artist that she is, that she is passionate about music, which is reinforced with her playing an instrument. I wanted to include some of the lyrics of the single written on the piano as I believe it looks effective and suggests that the lyrics comes from the music she plays. This is displayed in white, which stands out from the jet black piano.

Final Draft Front Page Digipak


Above is the front cover of the digipak. The image I chose is a close up, this focuses on the artists face, noticeably the artist is wearing minimal make up, this emphasises the type of artist that she is, that it is purely about the voice, not the looks. The name of the artist is located bottom right, I chosee this position as if I put it at the top it would distract the image of the artist. The name is in captials, which makes it stand out, and is in white against a light grey background, again the remains in a subtle colour scheme. If I completed this again, I would make the name in a burgundy colour font, this way it matches the magazine advertisement font.

Final Draft Magazine Advertisement


I am really pleased with the final draft of my magazine advertisement. I believe the colour scheme works well with the image. The magazine advertisement is simple, however effective. I have cleverly used the words to make sure that the title links with the artists name, and believe the advertisement would stand out for the audience, and fits in with the 'indie pop' genre too.
