This is an example of our questionnaire of our audience feedback, we asked people to view the video for the first time and then fill in the sheet.

This was the opinion of a 17 year old male. He said that he was able to understand the narrative clearly and the narrative fit with lyrics of the song well. He said that he liked the transitions of the video though some parts of the video were slightly boring because it was repetitive.

This is the feedback given from an 18 year old female. She said that understood the narrative and enjoyed the music video because she loves fashion and can relate easily. She agreed that the narrative fit with the lyrics of the song though didn't like the repetitivness and thought the magazine could have had more conventions to maake it more realistic.

This is feedback given from another 18 year old girl. She too understood the narrative and liked the transitions we chose to put in the video. She said that she didn't enjoy that it was repetitive and thought the editing could be improved.

We found that many people enjoyed the music video though thought it was slightly repetitive. The audience feedback allowed us to understand what we could have done better and where we were strong.

I also decided to use Facebook; a type of media platform so we could get feedback from different areas. This was to make my results and feedback more reliable. However, since Facebook mainly consists of my own friends and isn't anonymous the results should of been more biased and less reliable than an anonymous questionnaire.

First draft of video (Sabrina)

 

First Draft of Magazine Ad (Sabrina)

I like the design of this but I feel it needs more colour and is a bit top heavy. The name of the artist also isnt mentioned which is an obvious convention of album advertisments.

Ansillery Text / Magazine Ad (Sabrina)

 

 

I used the webiste 'picmonkey' to edit the picture of my model I removed blemished brightened her eyes, slimmed her down and made her teeth whiter. I also used a blue tinted filter to bring out the colour in the picture and make it look better quality.

 

Below is my process of choosing and positioning text according the the conventions of magazine ad and the genre of new wave. 

Digipak First full Draft (Sabrina)

 

To create this I carried on the theme, colours and font of my front and inside cover. The song numbered on the back of the album are the album 'Fashion' is in by David Bowie. I used leopard print as the common demoninater throughout the album and i used simplified fashion drawings for the CD's. I really feel this digipak capture the essence of New Wave, which commonly used bright colours and animal prints, and also sums up the song and video.

album cover front and inside drafts (Sabrina)

I used photoshop in my process after i finished the 'fashion drawings'. To create the red splats on the dress below I used secondary source images off google and rubbed out the edges to give the impression that the dress has red splats on it. I also added red lipstick and a necklace to this image so it is different to the other pre-dress which i also used in the video.

 

 

Once I was done with the images I used the select tool to remove the white background.

 

 To create the final image I used a plain background with a leoprint image i got off google and added colour to it. I then layer my drawings next to each other.

 I seperated my drawing into two images because i felt it looked better have the middle one stand out more.

I used my final dress in the music video as the middle drawing in this image to make it stand ou like it does in the video.

 Below are my various drafts of type I used, which i got from the website 'dafont'.

 

These are my final images that I am going to use in my digipak, I am very happy with them and I feel they reflect what my music video and song are about.

Filming Day Eight 19/02/14 (Emma)

After Sabrina and I had made the dress by splatting red paint on it at my house, making it unusual and unique and funky to look at, we allowed it to dry and I brought it to college for the glamorous scene to be filmed. Sabrina took the job of doing our models hair and make up because she has become very good at doing this with the experience she has had. She gave her colourful/new wave style eyes and bright red lips along with big hair to make her stand out more than she did in the previous makeovers.

As I had the song (Fashion by David Bowie) on my phone, I played the song like always to make her dance in time with the beat and framed the shot right to match the previous shots I had recorded. I also set up the lighting boxes in the same way I usually do to make sure that each shot matched and the continuity was strong.

We made our model act confident and really enjoy the outfit she was wearing because in our music video this is the one that wins the vote from the professional model. We gave her stand outish jewellery and made the handmade dress look extremely glamorous.

This was the last scene we needed to film before being able to complete the editing, and by this point we came across no problems because we had learn from mistakes we were previously making like almost falling over wires around the lighting room, which was solved by moving them around the edge of the room before actually filming. I believe we got all of the shots we wanted to and they have come out successfully and support the new wave genre strongly.
