Evaluation Q3:What have you learnt from audience feedback?

Evaluation: Q4 How did you use new media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?

Evaluation: Q2 How Effective is the Combination of your Main Product and Ancillary Texts?

The combination of my media products overall were ensured to compliment one another in a bid to show the skill that was used to make them. The album poster began the sequence of the 'out of this world' idea whilst I watched my music video over and over. The digipak was a must when it came to selecting a background otherwise the poster became irrelevant; however post-production will explain that the rest of the digipak will have to tone down in terms of the background and colour scheme to ensure that the audience isn't bored or shocked by the overuse of the design.

Evaluation: Q1 In what ways do your media products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Overall I believe that the conventions of my media products have challenged media products today. In the respect that I wanted my music video to be the best that it could, I didn't have a total disregard for the original music video or for others but there were always other music videos that my partner and I examined together to look for ideas to ensure that we had a professional looking end product.

Final Product: Stolen Dance by Milky Chance

I'm extremely excited to present my final product. This music video is called Stolen Dance by Milky Chance. It is performed mainly by Aaron who plays the main male and Lauren who plays the main female. Enjoy!

What Went Well, What Could Be Improved?

Now that the music video is finished I'm overjoyed that I can now present our hard work to everyone. Looking back I was adamant that the song was a fantastic choice and the idea behind it worked well.

WWW(What Went Well):
Personally I am extremely pleased by the shots that we did take and the storyline that we stuck to through endless hours of discussion over the adaptation and change of the original narrative. The shots that we took were set up well and filmed properly. I have to say thanks to my team mate as I was ill one filming day and she had to take over main filming. As well as this, I was happy with the fact that our editing was also stress free and worked out well. It was clear to us that editing isn't easy and being an amateur at using Final Cut Pro, I was worried that the music video would have an amateur look to it. Now that it's finished and audience feedback has agreed, the video looks perfectly professional and our use of effects within the editing stages showed my partner and I knew what we were doing. 

WCBI (What Could Be Improved):
As many would say, I don't think anything should change as this process was extremely hard and I'd never gone through it before, therefore I'd change nothing. However in seeing the video done and the evaluation stages closing too, I believe there are a few changes I may have made.
Firstly in listening to a song every time you edit, it become monotonous and bland, therefore I'd change the song originally; same genre but maybe faster paced. 
Secondly, I'd integrate the actors we used and my include more so that there was a variety to look for, but this could become confusing.
Lastly, I'd have planned our schedule's better as I live a long way away from my partner and I feel if we managed our time better the music video would have been completed quicker.

Complication: Editting update

During the filming stage of the creation of our music video we came across complications with certain aspects of our original idea. Firstly, we've decided to stop  using the children idea that was originally going to be at the beginning of our video. We've done this because, we couldn't work out a suitable time for the prime filming to take place; therefore we felt that we had enough footage to go without this part. Secondly; we have changed our filming location for a part of the music video from Brighton to Southend. Numerous reasons that concern this complication mainly roam around the fact that it takes a long time to get to Brighton and it's hard to get the time for our actors to film at this time as well. Therefore we felt that Southend was just as good a place to use for a beach scene as it's a rock beach like Brighton and has a better atmosphere to show emotion. That and it's also an hour closer.

16+Permission Slip

Due to the fact that my partner and I have decided to use children in the beginning of our video, it is imperative that we stick to the laws of filming outside of school walls. If a person or persons are under the age of 16 then a permission slip must be handed to a parent or guardian for them to sign to allow their face to be on camera and for the footage to be allowed to be used. Within our video we are using a young boy and a young girl who will be walking dogs together, symbolising the time that our two main characters meet. The form includes important information that must be noted by parents/guardians and that also we have to know. For example, allergies are a very important thing as we are using two dogs within our video. If one or both of the children are allergic then we must find a way to shoot the scene without causing harm to our young actors. A simple way around this is the dogs we are hoping to use are hypoallergenic; by this we mean that the dogs fur isn't contaminated with possible bacteria that can cause an allergic reaction.
