Evaluation

Now that i have completed my album cover, poster and music video I decided to get feedback by creating a questionnaire to give to 30 members of my targeted audience, these were all girls aged between 12 and 18.


This is a sample of the questionnaire I gave out to the targeted audience. I asked them to circle numbers between 1 and 10 with 10 being the best and 1 being the worse.

Yes / No
Would you watch the music video if you saw it on TV?
Yes / No
Do you think that the video setting is believable and relevant to the song?
Yes / No                            
On a scale of 1-10 how much could you relate to the story line?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Did you think that the storyline went well with the song?
Yes/No
Did you think that the video had a wide range of camera angles and shots
Yes/ No
Do you think that the shots were synced with the music video? (e.g. lip syncing and cutting of the shots etc)
Yes / No
On a scale of 1 – 10 How much does my music video follow typical conventions of other music videos of a similar genre such as Miley Cyrus’ and Taylor swifts?

Construction - Main Task

Now that I have created a storyboard and a time plan and also sorted out actors and props that i will be needing, I can now start constructing my music video.


To film my music video I used a Sony HD camera. By using a HD camera I was able to get my music video in to good quality. I used this camera when filming in front of the green screen and also outside in other locations. I made sure i used the same camera through-out to keep the same video quality. 


Filming with Green Screen
To edit my video I used Adobe Premier. I was not to familiar with this software so found it hard to edit the first bits of my video however after a while I found it easier to use the software and was able to use the cut tool, add transitions between clips and was also able to change the green screen colour to edit my music video.
I found that when it came to putting all the footage together on to adobe premier I had a lot of unwanted filming. this was due forgetting to press the record button off after filming a shot and having a lot of out takes this took me a while to go through everything and cut unwanted bits out. After this I was able to piece each section together. I found it easy to lip sync the artist and the song as I had got my actor to sing along with the actual music when I was filming. This made it easier to piece together each shot.

This is my final music video
