Evaluation Planning, Q1- Ancillary Products

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


Digi-Pak

Plan:


We decided to have a picture of Jeff (our performer) on the stage at the back and with songs down the left hand side. We thought that this would be effective yet simplistic; it would still attract the audience’s attention. We thought about having another photo of Jeff on the front cover, we decided maybe the magazine advert. This way people would be able to recognise the album because they have seen the magazine advert, also as Jeff is shown mostly in the music video. We thought about using a clock on the fold in panel, this is because we wanted to promote our music video and the single 'Clocks' more. Therefore, as soon as they open up the product the clock is the first thing they see. We thought about having a review page on one of the inside panels, this would be seen as they open up it up, by putting the reviews on that page the audience are likely to read them as they see it straight away. The reviews would be about the album or about the songs featured on the album. We decided to use a piano on the second inside panel because when they opened it out more they would see that a piano is used in one of the songs. A picture of a candle is used underneath the CD holder, this is because it is similar to a graphic match as the candle is circular and the CD holder is, also the flame of the candle would be in the same place as circular hole of the CD. 





Magazine Advert





We decided to conform to conventions by using a simple font, and having the basic album information, an image of our 'artist' on the magazine advertisement:

However, we decided that it would also make the magazine advert more effective if we were to add reviews of the album (which we found from http://www.rollingstone.com/and http://www.nme.com/).

Evaluation Question 1- In what ways does your music video use, develop or challenge conventions of real media products?

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

She Moves in Her Own Way- The Kooks
Our original idea was to do a music video for the song 'She Moves In Her Own Way- The Kooks' but part way through production our ideas changed. Therefore, my evaluation is assessing our completed product for 'Clocks- Coldplay'. However, during planning, I had previously briefly answered a few questions on, and made reference to, some conventions I had planned to use in The Kooks video-



Clocks- Coldplay

Evaluation Planning, Q1- Music Video

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

She Moves in Her Own Way- The Kooks
Our original idea was to do a music video for the song 'She Moves In Her Own Way- The Kooks' but part way through production our ideas changed. Therefore, my evaluation is assessing our completed product for 'Clocks- Coldplay'. However, during planning, I had previously briefly answered a few questions on, and made reference to, some conventions I had planned to use in The Kooks video-



Clocks- Coldplay
First of all I began by discussing the question in detail with my classmates to decide what elements we used to include, and which were the most important. I noted down the points I felt were most important and thought of some specific aspects i could include and discuss. 

Despite it being a long process, I decided that I would go through each individual shot from our production and analyse the conventions either broken or conformed to in the shots. I will be using the internet for research into details and examples to back up my explanations but the majority will be done by hand allowing me to analyse each shot in much more detail, with much more ease.

Coldplay, Clocks Final Audience Feedback- YouTube

We used a variety of platforms and collected feedback from a huge range of people! Below is the feedback received on YouTube:





  • Good smooth transitions between frames, nice use of camera angles.

  • esther hesketh
    I liked the time lapse on the clock and the connotation used throughout. The piano playing and sound track also fitted together well.

  • TomCantellow
    The small man then the big man in the same picture was pretty cool
