feedback

We put the results from our surveymonkey audience feedback into charts so we could look more clearly at what our audience like about our video..
We collected results by sending the survey out to people via facebook and email, this got us a few responses but overall isn't the most reliable way to procure feedback, as some people give silly answers and others don't even fill it in.

Digipak and Magazine advert..

We used the same images and fonts from our album cover, on the magazine advert. This brings all the products together, and links with the video's vintage aesthetic as we used photographs taken at my Granny's house. The looks is supposed to be fairly simple looking, and the fonts and washed out colours represent the genre of indie music and culture.

Filming evaluation...

Because it was just the three of us in our group, organisation was very easy. My Granny only lives fifteen minutes away from college as well so it was very practical to get the equipment there in time etc.

Also as we were only using one location and it being filmed predominantly indoors, we didn’t have to worry about weather or extra transport.

For these reasons we were able to start filming on time and the only complications we had were with my Granny getting in the back of shots by accident.

We progressed well throughout the day and managed to finish earlier than we had expected, as we didn’t really need to alter the set, move far, or wait for anybody. This meant that we could spend some extra time just gathering additional footage in case when it came to editing we needed more shots.

The second day ran just as smoothly, the only problems we encountered were with the tripod, and how to keep it standing up right.

Overall I think the filming process went well; we organised ourselves and managed to get a lot done in a shorter space of time than we had planned, which meant we had more time to gather extra shots and think about how to put the video together.
