Evaluation 1 Conventions

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Digipack Presentation

Digipak Process: Hugo stark
This is a presentation to show you the stages which we took when creating our digipack.

QR Code

We decided to create a QR code which can be added everywhere and anywhere including things like adverts, websites, magazines and social networking sites. Once someone scans it, it takes them straight to our video.
This is our QR code please feel free to scan it and hope you enjoy our video.

Audience Feedback

When our video was completed we showed it to an audience who filled out our questionnaire once they had finished watching it. With the feedback we got we realised there were a couple of little bits we needed to change.  

Music Video



This is our final music video, apart from a few minor changed for example voice syncing and some audience feedback it is completed.

Evaluation Research

I researched some websites and tools that I can use on my evaluation to make it more interesting.
The first one I found was a website called MindMeister it is an online creator for mind maps and brainstorming.













The next website I found was Mix book this allows you to upload photos and organise them in to well structed folders etc and then upload them online. Again there are templates you can use to start you off and once these have been made I could upload them onto my blogg.

The third website I found was called Prezentit, this is an online programme which allows you to make online presentations and then share them online, I could also use the embed code to put on my blogg.

Finally the fourth one I found was Animoto this website is used to turn videos and music into video slideshows. It could be a good way to present 1 of my evaluation questions.

Song Timings

We worked out and wrote down timings for the song






Period 3:
We decided to roughly plan out the main storyline of the video and condense it into scenes, here is a rough draft:


We also discussed certain things to do with each scene, for example the flashback where he loses his wife, she was initially going to be a girlfriend but we decided that this might of been hard to film as the scene would be in silence, therefore we decided that if it was his wife, we could use a shot of her throwing her ring at him as a symbolic ending of the relationship.
The flashback of him losing his house was also initially supposed to be him bankrupt, but after toying with ideas of a gambling addiction (too hard to film as we are not 18 and would not be able to film in a casino), him handing over wads of cash (would be too repetitive) and him checking his bank balance (too boring, wouldn’t engage the audience) we decided that it would be much easier and would look more effective if he was to lose his house/ his ex wife has changed the locks and he sees her in the upstairs window with another man.
