EVALUATION: QUESTION 4

Here is my evaluation question 4 response:

EVALUATION PLANNING: QUESTION 4

Evalutation question 4 involves aspects of new media technologies, and how I was able to/ worked with these technologies within my construction and research, planning and evaluation stages.

For my final evaluation post, I am planning on creating a video which involves me talking about the different uses of new media technology and how I have involved them into my work. I will also plan on using Final Cut Pro to edit my video and to involve images/ examples of the aspects which I will be talking about.

Below, I have created a draft timeline. This timeline involves all of the new media technologies I used, and is presented to show when and why I used each one.
This technology timeline I have drafted out is to help my basis of information for when I was preparing for writing my script:


From my planning, I think I am going to do a personal video response, and in this response, I will talk about how I used these new media technologies within my work, and I will include screenshots/ examples to help me evident this.

EVALUATION: QUESTION 3

EVALUATION PLANNING: QUESTION 3

Today, I started to work on my evaluation question 3. This question involves reflecting back on my audience feedback and how I was able to improve from this/ which points were helpful/un helpful.

From my planning I am going to think about how I will be able to display this information and how I will be able to make this interesting but also informative.
Some ideas are:
a visual recording of myself talking about my feedback aspects, but then having example images of what I am describing (shots in my music video or aspects of my digipak)
an emaze powerpoint explaining each method of feedback I received.

EVALUATION: QUESTION 2

EVALUATION PLANNING: QUESTION 2

EVALUATION: QUESTION 1

Eval q1 from georgiastaf

EVALUATION PLANNING: QUESTION 1

I have started to plan for my evaluation. Question 1 is my starting point. The above image is of my notes which I have created within the process of researching the task brief and what aspects of information are needed to obtain a good mark.

i have started to plan how I will present this evaluation question.

I am planning on presenting my findings on SlideShare. This is because I feel that this is a clear but profiecent way that I will be able to present my research and information for this question.  

FINAL CUT FEEDBACK

From my feedback, I have been able to overview and make final choices to my product which will then consist of my publishing my final cut.
The feedback which I received:



This has helped me to finalise my product. This is due to certain aspects of my feedback, such as the suggested improvements on sound of some shots and maybe adding a few extra shots in,(which were present in my first cut) that I took out through my editing process, and didn't think they'd fit with my new product. This feedback has helped very strongly with my final cut and has ensured my confidence within my product, as I was informed only small changes were needed.

REFLECTION ON THE PROCESS SO FAR

From reflecting on the process so far, I have been able to look back on how much my ideas have expanded. This has been a benefiting factor as my work being improved will help my build towards a strong grade in my media studies A2. I have thoroughly enjoyed the editing process, and now almost being able to compare between my first cut and final, to help me see how much my work has improved.

Most of the improvements have been helped by my audience feedback. This is something I have been very thankful for, and which has helped me a lot. Audience feedback has helped me because it has always pushed me to improve and work harder on my products. Whether it is my music video, my ancillary products, or my overall blog, I have been able to keep improving, and audience feedback has helped.

I feel 95% happy about the process so far, and I hope my final few weeks of finishing my coursework are the same :) 

FINAL CUT: ARMIN VAN BUUREN- THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

FINAL ALBUM DIGIPAK

FINAL MAGAZINE ADVERT

ANCILLARY PRODUCTS: PROCESS OF CREATING DIGIPAK 1

I have first started to edit my images for my digipak on 'Pic Monkey'. This software allows me to edit my images and add/ import: text, edit overlays, stickers and editing effects.                                
                                                                               











Here I have been testing out the editing overlays to see how they look. This could be a possible effect I may use.

Here I have started looking at another possible effect. This effect involves both black & white and the original effect of my image. Here I have started to test what both effects can look like combined together. I may possibly use this effect.

ANCILLARY PRODUCTS: PROCESS OF CREATING DIGIPAK 2

Today, I have started to create and build my final ideas for my digipak. From the screenshot above, it shows how I have started to create the front cover, inside cover and back cover. These ideas may change as I may have the song list on one of the inside covers.
The photographs used are my own photography and I am conforming to use some conventions in which my artist also uses. These are such as: having the 'artist' on the front cover, and including a song list.

ANCILLARY PRODUCTS: PROCESS OF CREATING MAGAZINE ADVERT 1

I have started to edit my main image for my magazine advert on 'Pic Monkey'. I have used 'Pic Monkey' to edit my image by adding filters and changing slight effects such as the exposure etc..

I have then started to create my own functioning QR code. I will create this QR code to be presented on my magazine advert and have it linking to my music video on YouTube. As my final music video is not uploaded to YouTube yet, I have created a temporary QR code which sends the user to the Apple Music page for the download of 'This Is What It Feels Like' -Armin Van Buuren'.

Here I have imported the edited image from 'Pic Monkey' into Fireworks. On here I am able to add my other aspects which I want on my magazine advert, these are such as my star ratings, temporary working QR code which sends the user to the single of 'This Is What It Feels Like' on Apple Music, and logos such as for 'Armada Music', 'Spotify' and 'HMV'.

EDITING UPDATES: 2/12/16

Today I have started editing my performance element. This is being edited because I am aligning my shots with the music, and finding which aspects of my music video are best fitted for each scene in which my performance element is needed.
This process will involve cutting, trimming, and adding effects onto each individual shot of my performance element.
 

ANCILLARY PRODUCTS FEEDBACK ON IDEAS: MAGAZINE ADVERT

From my feedback on both of my magazine adverts, to has helped me to construct and create a strong final idea which I will start to plan to create for.





































This feedback has helped my construction of ideas within my draft ancillary products. It has helped me think about the areas in which I need to improve up on such as my choices of colour and text. From this feedback I am hoping to be able to construct strong and interesting final ancillary pieces. 

ANCILLARY PRODUCTS FEEDBACK ON IDEAS DIGIPAK

These are the drafts of my ancillary products. I have created two drafts for my digipak and my magazine advert. In class, I obtained feedback from every student in my class and this feedback will help me asses and take each strengths out of each idea to create a good piece for my magazine advert and digipak.

-These are the questions I've asked for my digipak feedback

Below is the feedback I received from these questions. When the respondents refer to A & B, A is the digipak on the right and B is the digipak on the left.

From this feedback I received, I am able to focus on the constructive feedback and be able to pick out the aspects which need improving. Examples of constructive feedback I obtained was: the use of imagery I chose to present and the colours (mostly on B) were of good choice. Feedback reflected that the colour schemes I chose could attract the audience well. My ideas also reflected on feedback that they linked to my music video well and worked in the style of my chosen artist well. Everyone who gave feedback were able to easily know what the genre of my chosen artist's music was (pop/dance).
Constructive feedback was aspects such as moving the QR code to a different place, as it is more stereotypically to have it on the back. On idea A, it is a bit plain and could include better scenes and more colour. This feedback also made me think about the spacing of the disk placing as some feedback was saying I should move it to a different panel.
From this feedback, I am able to re-assess my ideas and put together the strengths to be able to create a final piece dig-pak with help with all of my feedback.

DRAFT IDEAS FOR MAGAZINE ADVERT

These are my draft/initial ideas for my magazine advert. I have concluded ideas for every aspect which generally goes into a magazine advert. I have also evidenced all areas in which I think should be included.
