Final Production - Music Video

Dear Moderator,

Welcome to my blog! I have been recording my progress throughout the A2 course on this blog, including the research I have carried out, planning, production, post production and evaluation. This has been done to create my Music Video, for Mausi's "Sol", and the promotional package to go with it. I hope you enjoy reading, and watching my work.

Thank you.

Aine Buller.

I have created a PowerPoint, analysing my website, identifying the features I have included.

Ancillary Text - DVD Album Cover

This is my DVD album cover, and below I have analysed it, identifying the features I have used.  

Evaluation Question 1

For this question, I have done a directors commentary, using my music video, and incorporating real music videos that have inspired my decisions.

These are the songs I have referenced during my video:

• Taylor Swift - 'Style'
• Ellie Goulding - 'Your Song'
• Colbie Callait - 'Realize'
• Calvin Harris - 'Outside'
• Lana Del Rey - 'Summertime Sadness'
• Karmin - 'Broken hearted'
• Taylor Swift - '22'

Evaluation Question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Below is my answer for this question, in which I will discuss the importance of ancillary texts, and how mine go together.

Evaluation Question 3

For this question, I filmed 3 responses to the four questions which are written in the video. I then added my response to their answers and what I have learnt from the feedback.

I have also created a survey, in order to find out form a random audience what they thought of my music video and ancillary texts. I thought it would be best to ask short and simple questions, in order attract people to answer as it would not take up much time. Not only this, but it will also avoid confusion amongst those responding. Below is a PowerPoint on the feedback I have got from the responses.
