From analysing music video’s that have the same genre as ours and now comparing it to our final video I can see how we have developed a typical genre such as indie/rock itself. The music video that we produced is kind of divided into two sections having two different views of the actress/artist used. From research I have not seen this done. The way we have this is to go with the beat of the music. “Lorena” the actress in the video is seen to be troubled, distressed and hurt in the beginning, leading into the second verse of the song we see “Lorena” turn demonic, devilish, grudge like; completely changing her character from the beginning. The way we made this so effective is from the camera shots. We used loads of close up shots, showing full expression to the camera not leaving much to the imagination. In the second section of the song we used a tilted shot to show the actress to be inferior to the actor (Bradley). We tried to challenge the conventions as much as we could by using very low angled shots; we used these to emphasise parts of the song for example when in a part of the lyrics it says “You Throw Stones” we have a shot of her throwing the stones then a very low angle to give emphasis to the pain she is in in the song, showing the stones fall hard and rebound, this kind of represents her feelings. In comparison to a music video such as Black Parade by Green Day; they have mainly performance.
- How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
From my point of view I think that there is an obvious link to my main product and ancillary texts as I used a clear image showing full features of the actress from the video. Also on my ancillary text I used a black and white picture, the reason for this is that in the video the all the scenes are black and white; by me keeping this theme I think it allows the public to see a apparent link to the between the both. Since I have used the black and white I needed to make certain parts of the ancillary texts stand out which is why I have used a deep red and light grey to balance out the colours. Another reason I used red is so that it can show the side of her that we see in the video, the ruff, devilish type that she became. The combination of my main product and ancillary texts in my opinion work well together as there is a clear theme that has been used in both that connects them.
-What have you learned from your audience’s feedback?
Commencing to our audience feedback we has seen that they way we have constructed our video that it has given the effect as intended when we was planning. For our feedback we used a various amount of ways to get optimum reviews. First or all we used “YouTube” to get a wide range of view form everyone and anyone, some of the comments said “The video is awesome” by Jsuieurck;
this is a comment from someone from the world wide web and it shows us that he has actually sat there and watched our video and gave us a positive comment. I then forwarded the video from “YouTube” onto my “FaceBook” 
give it more recognition. Other ways in which we tried to get public views was to gather members from our school of which were different age ranges and sit them down in a room, show them the video and get them to write down there thoughts of the video. This was also a good way to do so as we could see full expression of the viewers. Some of the comments said “I thought it was very excellent, it was a bit scary but that’s what made it good, the song went well with the video. I did not think there was anything wrong with the video. I thought it was really good”. Another comment was “I think the video was good, it actually looked like a real music video, the storyline suited the song. It did not look sloppy at all. It was really good. It looks like you put a lot of effort into it and the results are brilliant.” These comments prove to me that I have achieved the result I wanted. Some comments were constructive as there criticism was that we used a lot of black and white shots and just use more diverse colours. the actual video represents alot of what i have displayed in my digi- pack and ancillary texts. the bold colours represent the roughness and harsh tone of the song. the construction; using the background i made was to show the dynamic look and not to distract you from the artist but to make the poster itself look advanced and stand out. in the background i used splatter, shapes, patterns all of which cannote the song and public image that the artis has.
-How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Throughout the stages of this coursework i have found it productive, it has made me more creative, comprehensible and enjoyable. For my research i used technologies such as the Internet Google Earth to search locations ans see what they looked like, directions and how quick it took to get there. In planning we used YouTube to research existing music videos to show me what techniques are used with conventions and different genres. When using the media technologies to assist me in making my work what is is i found it very easy to learn how to use packages such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illistartor and iMovie;
these packages were the best possible to use as they let you do pretty much anything to make our video professional, look good and to have a high quality. Adobe Illistator is what i used to form my layout for my ancillary texts and Photoshop is where i edited images to perfect them to my needs. Blogging has helped to present our work online quick and easily, on this we could upload images, texts, videos and more so we can present our work to an optimum. When creating our music video we had the priveledge to use high quailty DV cameras which made our work look professional, with assitance of a typod. In the contsruction of the video i filmed a number of scenes of which we used in the draft of the video and in the actual video, i also used iMovie to edit most of the video alongside my other group member Lorena, where we deliberated and tried a numebr of different shots to make the video look at its best.
