Question 3 - What have you learned from your audience feedback?
View more presentations from Nana Oppong.
I have learnt from our video feedback that our music video was enjoyable and fun to watch. There were aspects of the video which we could have improved. For example the lack of change of scenery, little lip singing, and outfit change. But a positive was the various camera angles, shots and quick editing. I have learnt that we should have tried to get all the filming done on the same day, because the lighting changes and we was not able to make the contrast the same, which was shown through the video. We could have used a blue screen to then use an animated background to improve the lack of scenery, and we could have shot scenes in various different places, to make the video more appealing. Our music video did fit the genre we wanted to put across in the digipak, magazine advert and music video. The digipak was eye-catching and bold as well as the magazine advert. They were very appealing and fitted the theme that we wanted to show. We were complimented on our costumes, dancing and how we put the video together, by fast cuts and the fun friendship aspect. We were also complimented on showing our friendship throughout the whole media products (digipak, music video and magazine advert) which we strongly wanted to perceive.
Overall I think with the feedback that we retrieved our media product was a success but with room for improvement. I am happy with the end result and hope you enjoy it too!

Screenshot of editing my music video
Using final cut pro - at this stage we were in the middle of the editing stage putting in fast cuts, and adding the lip singing in.
My magazine cover for my group
This magazine cover was designed based on our music video idea. We tried to incorporate the idea by wearing dresses and a clubbing type of dress. We used photoshop to cut out the images our ourselves to place it onto a simple black coloured background. we then added texts to attract attention from our target audience, and the texts gives information about our single.

Screenshots of working on the macs - final cut pro
These are just a couple screen shots of us on the macs working on our music video editing stage. The last editing day on our music video putting in any effects that we wanted to include, also the second image is the footage of our feedback video from the viewers, being edited in order to use this with our answer to question three. We were using final cut pro with all our editing footage because we had previously used it for another project, so we knew the programme well enough.Treatment
My overall idea of my music video will be an entire dance video, which I thin highlights our positive skills. I got the idea of this video by watching the original video to the song that I had chosen.
The way that I wanted my video to be was four girls in total dancing but for the dance video not to always show the four girls. I think this was best to do for the song that I had chosen because it followed the lyrics of the song, which made it easy. The way me and my partner decided on the song was by listening ot numerous amounts of songs and viewing their music videos. This narrowed down our ideas and pointed us into the direction that we wanted to go in.
Choosing our setting and locations were a bit difficult because we couldnt always use the places that we wanted to. Originally we wanted to use about three to four different settings and locations with different characters, but we had to cancel that idea because it was always difficult to film in certain areas. We then chose to just film in one location, simply using the studio for a white background to our dancing, and this worked well.
I think the music video that I made was a typical music video with the fast cuts, camera angles, dance moves and lip singing.
I am pleased with the results of my final music video and proud to show it off to others, recieving any feedback and taking critism well.

music video analysis
I think during this music video there is a lot of high key lighting, and this is what I would also like to portray throughout my music video. I have chosen to analyse this music video because I feel that it is also a dance video which I will be making. I can take a few ideas from this video, and incorporated it into my own. There is of costume and location changes in this music video, but I feel that my music video will be in one location and in the same costumes for my dancers for a theme of consistency. I think this will be effective for our target audiences to be able to recognize our music video easily, and I think the high key lighting will draw attention when viewing the video. This music video has a range of camera angles and fast cutting, which is a convention for a dance music video, and what a viewer would expect to see. There has been many medium and long shots whilst the dancing scenes, and a few close ups of the main person in the video. I think the close ups are used to let the viewers recognize her importance, and that she is the main character to be focusing on. In some scenes there are low key lighting and this is in contrast with the type of song the video was made for, I think this was done fro effect. Panning movement is used to show of the main characters body and this has an effect on the viewer to make them keep watching. Something that this video had which made it more attractive was interactive background images, and this makes the music video better.

Analysis of music video
Whilst i watched only the first minute of this music video, the camera angles, shots, editing, mise en scene and lighting that i noted were a variety of many. First there were long shots of the artists to begin with showing a background and her whole body. This could give the viewer a chance to see the scene. Close ups and medium shots were then used when another character was introduced. Close ups of the artists inparticular showing the viewer her facial expressions whilst interacting with the second person. A panning movement of the camera was used especially to show off the artists envious figure, starting from her foot upwards. This engages the audience. The second artists who was rapping had a number of medium shots for the audience to view him, but not too many because he is not the main artist in the video. The lighting changes throughout this part of the video, there is a change of high lighting and low lighting. The low lighting is mainly used for the scenes with the male dancers and the high lighting is when the main character is on her own.
Keri Hilson Turn My Swag On
We first thought to use this song as our chosen song, and mix it with Beyonce - Get me Bodied. But we changed our mind because we thought it was too much of a risk to do two songs.
