Evaluation 4: How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Evaluation 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Evaluation 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and your Ancillary texts?

Evaluation 1: How does your media product use, develop and/or challenge the forms and conventions of real media products?

Script Draft

My evaluation question is to look into how well my main media product ('A Girl Like You' Music Video) and our Ancillary Task ('The Chase' - 'Lotus') combine together.

Our two pieces of work are made to fit into the conventions of a typical Indie Rock Band. A few examples of bands we looked into include
Two Door Cinema Club, The Vaccines or The Wombats. We hoped that through research we could learn how to make our own Indie Rock video and digipak.

2nd Draft of our Music Video

Working on our 2nd Draft

These are a few shots of our group in the process of shooting for our music video. As you can see we have a very dark set and the only source of light comes from either a white or red stage light. The reason we chose this room is because we could make the entire room dark and change the set around to make it look like a new location; we took advantage of a minimalistic set.

New Shots (Chess Scene Development)

These are a few screenshots from the reshoot that we had started from our music video. The purpose of the reshoot was to add in some of the shots from the improvements given to us from the assessment of our first draft for our music video. We needed to film some shots between the girl and boy in order for them to present a little more of the narrative and concept of our video, the two of them playing a game of chess against one another. Also we need to reshoot because our lead singer has had a haircut and in order for any of the shots to fit together in our video he needs to have a similar look throughout the video.

There is still more reshooting that needs to be done in our video, we still need to get some band shots added in to really show this is an Indie Band rather than an Indie solo artist.

Digipak Inside

Digipak Outside

This is the second draft of our Ancillary Task and we have made a few changes. We have given ourselves a band name now rather than go with a solo artist since our feedback had shown that people were getting confused by the name 'Alex Zain' and the girl on the front cover.

Working on Ancillary and Music Video

These are a few images of us working on our Ancillary Task and Music Video. To create these things we have to use the programs like Photoshop and Final Cut Express.
