Our final
video ‘Fire in Your Eyes’ by ‘Forever Young’ is at the very top of the page
followed by our digipak and then our website link to click on. Down the side of
the blog is a list of labels whereby you will find all the work I have produced
during this project.
We have
worked hard to produce what we hope is a well presented piece of coursework and
have put in alot of effort in doing so.
In the questionnaire we conducted we asked 20 people of
different age groups to give us some feedback about our video to help judge if
it was a success and achieved in representing what we wanted to portray. Here
is an analysis of what we found.
1.Most of our audience were between the ages of
16-19, nearer to our target audience with a few exceptions of the older
generation to see what their view point on the video was.
2.All ratings of our video were between 8-10
meaning they all enjoyed it for similar reasons which we later found out .
3.All males and females asked found they could
find conventions we had followed of the drum and bass genre in our video. When
we asked what parts of the video followed these specific conventions some of
the outcomes were the clubbing scenes we included, a few said the drinking and
lighting and others said the drums and balls shown throughout.
4.When it came to defining what sort of video
this was the majority circled ‘Performance’ and ‘Concept’ with a few suggesting
‘A bit of all three’. We found this inviting because we infact left it open to
the human eye as to what they really thought. We found elements of all ourselves
when making it.
5.All participants of the questionnaire said
the parts they enjoyed most were the clubbing scenes, the fast upbeat pace throughput
the video and the locations whereby I took the camera out driving with me and
filmed outside different night life attractions. By doing this, we found it
brought it more to life and enabled people to see the buzz and lighting effects
of a fun night out.
6.However, like every good video there are
negatives. After the questionnaire we looked at the results and found that the
walking scenes were an issue as they were classed ‘unsteady’ along with repetition
being an issue, a slight lip syncing error and too long on the drinking scenes.
Luckily the issues raised here are not major things and with some touch up can
be corrected very easily.
7.Finally we asked about any improvements that
could help up make this video a greater success in the future. The feedback we received
included Gemma’s walking to be steadier with the camera, making the story
clearer if there was one and touching up the lip syncing and the transitions
between shots.
All
together though the video was a hit and we feel personally that the audience feedback
showed this enough through their positivity and when watching it, it had them
gripped the whole way through.
We sent an email to someone at the company of MTA Records
who work with Chase and Status and own the rights to their song. We told them
what it is we will be doing with their song and why we chose that particular
one. This is what the email looked liked.
Our video is FINISHED! (Well basically).
Today Gemma was absent so we finished of the video as much as possible.
Everything was filled in and after running through it we are happy that the
video is complete enough for our audience to watch. We went through each part
and added effects to it to try and make it fast and quirky. I think we achieved
this successfully and hopefully the audience will understand the large use of
concept behind it.
We discussed some shots
that we felt needed to be added into the video as final snap shots and decided
we needed some sort of fire to make some relation to the song. I went home and
with the help of my mum we filmed the fire in the fireplace and decided to film
a cnadle near her eye for a reflection. I will then take the footage straight
into school tomorrow to upload and hopefully complete our video.
The morning after the night before! Last night I took the camera to the party I attended to gain some more footage. I managed to get about 20 minutes of recording throughout different moments in the night of the lights, dj and people dancing. It looked really good when I went into school today (it’s still half term) and captured that along with the driving shots I took and began to place them into the video. I have completed quite a lot of the video now and there isn’t much left to fill. The music is really in time with the pace pf the dancing and club scenes giving it a great effect. I am pleased with the footage we managed to get.
This now means we only need to finish off the last off 40seconds and its finished! J
