EVALUATION; What Have You Learnt From Your Audience Feedback?
At the cinema we experienced a few technological problems when it came to showing our video , due to this our music video didn't get played; however we still managed to get feed back from the people in our class.
Here is what I thought I learnt and what I could change if we was to do it again.

(Evaluation) Question 4: What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
From the feedback that we have had, we are very pleased with the positive and pleasant reactions of our audience.
Unfortunately, we do not have a video of our audience giving us feedback after the cinema screening. Due to some technological problems, our music video was not shown in the cinema, so instead, we were given the chance by our teachers to watch everybody’s music video again during our media class, and from there, we received some written feedback .
One person wrote that we used great match cuts and a good range of camera angles. Another person also wrote that the costumes work well with the mise-en-scene and this person also mentioned the storyline and the performance of the girl group and said that it works well following generic conventions of songs genre.
However, we also got some feedback about the things that we could improve on to make our music video even better. Again, from the written feedback that we received, someone mentioned that the performance of the girl group could have been better. I would agree with this comment, as a group, we were already aware of this when we were editing our music video, the reason for this is we were lacking of energy due to the amount of times that we had to re-film both the girl group performance and also the narrative. But I would say that despite of the amount of times that we had to re-film , it made our music video even better as we improved and corrected our mistakes such as; bringing lights to prevent having scenes with dark lightings and also checking the auto and manual photos to prevent blurred shots.
Another person said that we could have added colour effects for the mood. We were also aware of this, as we thought that some scenes looked dull, but because of the lack of time that we had, we only had the time to add some colour effects on the quick cuts of the locations in the beginning of our music video.
By reading some of these written feedback, I am glad that we have reached our audience expectations. Also, if I am asked to give some feedback for our music video, as part of the audience, I would also comment on the performance of the girl group, and the colour effects. But if I was able to do this again, I would maybe choose a better setting, encourage the girl group to give more energy with their performance, as they are the ones who will attract the audience and maybe experiment and use more of my editing skills.

EVALUATION 3. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
evaluation 2 on Prezi
On photoshop i used the magnetic lasso tool to cut around the picture and paste it on to a plain background , it was quite difficult and time consuming to use this tool as i had to go around a big picture but the result was great. ( click on the picture to make it bigger , to see how i cut around the picture)
On photoshop i was able to play around with the different texts , i used the text tool to decide on which font i wanted to use. I was able to resize the font and rotate it if i wanted too.
This is a screenshot of my final digipak on Quark
I did not use Quark as much as i used Photoshop, i only used Quark to resize the digipak and to add the black spine , i used the shape tool in order to this
