Evaluation question 3

What have you learnt from your audience feedback

Evaluation Question 2

How Affective is the combination of your main product and ancillary task.

 Digi Pack









Poster

Music Video











The combination of my main product and ancillary tasks are very affective because, as it is clear from the images and screen grabs above that there is an obvious style that is apparent through all of my products, the quite gloomy rustic cool derelict feel. The fonts are all the same throughout my digipack and poster , as are the images to keep the conventions the same. Although the images differ, it is clear to see that they were all taken during the the music video shooting at the derelict buildings, this keeps the same style and doesn't add any randomness to my tasks.

The colors which occur within all my tasks are all very similar also, there are lots of dim grey colors and there are a lot of parts in my video and poster and digipack that are dark and dim, so again there is a clear continuity and fluency throughout all of my tasks, in my feedback i was told that i could perhaps use some images from the second half of my video as it gets brighter and is more focused on the smiles and the beach.

Here i have also included the "lil wayne" album cover which was part of my inspiration for the black and white dreary album cover. Maverick Saber is not such a dark rapper than most of the rappers that have similar posters or album covers but his music and character and the cloths he wears are still very gangster and aggressive.

Ancillary Task

I feel that my digi pack and poster follow the conventions of the generic  music video publication posters, i wanted to include everything that i have seen on the major  music company posters.

I preferred this final piece becuase ti also follows the general conventions of a digi pack , with the close up of the Artist, the simplistic dingy back grounds and the bold texts.

Construction

So i started looking at different effects and cut shots  . The cut shots took a while to perfect because it can look quite shaky and unprofessional, i found editing the clips to go with the music worked better and seemed like it was meant to be in the vid.

Adding em-burns to my video brought a different                                                                                                                   aspect to my video, i feel it looks a bit more professional

More ideas and actors !

I have decided to have a very large number of actors of all ages and sex's. this will obviously be a lot harder to accomplish but i feel lie it fits well with how my video will end. I have made a rig that attaches to the best and holds the camera in a position to get a shot of the face, this will be attached to all of my actors as they walk around and do the different task i have set for them as they lip sink. I will still have a main character that starts of the song but after that the characters will change.

I am going to try and achieve a shot where the actor is walking down a lane, i will then swap the rig o another actor at the same position and carry on filming, if i can pull that off then that is how i will film the best part of my video.

I have recruited
4 males from my school.
3 females from a girls college.
1 mother.
1 father.
1 middle aged sister.
1 lead guitarist from a local band.

Audition and camera practise

Goodwin's characteristics typologies

1. Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics.
   (e.g. stage performance in metal videos, dance routine for boy/girl band, aspiration in Hip Hop).
2. There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals. The lyrics are represented with images.
   (either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting).
3. There is a relationship between music and visuals. The tone and atmosphere of the visual reflects that of the music.
   (either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting).
4. The demands of the record label will include the need for lots of close ups of the artist and the artist may develop motifs which recur across their work (a visual style).
5. There is frequently reference to notion of looking (screens within screens, mirrors, stages, etc) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body.
6. There are often intertextual reference (to films, tv programmes, other music videos etc).

 All of these images display genre characteristics of a gangster rap music video, with the expensive cars and bling and girls spread across the bonnets and the male rappers, also the rappers are drowned in bling and expensive clothing.

 In a way there is a relationship between lyrics and visuals, as the song is about the rapper making his way back into the rap scene, he is coming in in cars and a big attitude also lines like "still not lovin police" link well as they are committing illegal acts.

 The relationship between the music and the visuals is very strong. The music is quite laid back and slow and so is the relaxed attitude of the gangsters rolling through the streets. Also shows the confident attitude of the rappers as they are easy with driving around slowly , almost searching out the area.

 Close up of the artists occur alot through this video. In the car with the "babes" and aggressively rapping to the camera, you can see this rappers motif with his rapping hand gestures.

We are invited into the life of the rappers but always made to seem smaller, these are mighty and strong famous rappers and even though we are in a club with them or driving with them we still feel quite nervous and 

All of the intertextual references are simply from the generic image of a gangster rapper, how they are seen in films and other music videos is directly portrayed through this music video

I really liked this take on the song, i feel like this actor did the task quite well, it has led me to decide that i will have a variety of actors and actresses of all ages, through the song.
