Evaluation Question 3

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

• Before creating our main task we did research into the indie genre and the demographic that we were aiming for. We asked our peers and general public what kind of music they were into and what kind of stuff they liked to see in music videos. This led us to developing ideas surrounding young people and the things they deal with on a day-to-day basis.
• 
  
• Before creating our video we had to decide whether we wanted it to be performance, narrative or  combination if both. After producing a video of ourselves lip-syncing to the song we had chosen and showing it to our target audience we gathered that the video should be narrative, sticking to the things we had gathered about what kind of indie video people like. Something downbeat and that told a complete story, like Kodaline's High hopes video.
• 
  
• When editing our video we took frequent breaks to upload our video at the stage it was at to show our peers and gather more feedback in order to create the best product. By doing this we were able to edit any small details that stood out to our audience and determine which parts of the video were strongst in order to uphold the quality.
• 
  
• When we completed our music video we garnered feedback from people that allowed us to make any minor tweaks before we had to submit our work, luckily the feedback was mostly positive and we were able to submit our final product.

Final Poster

This is my completed magazine advert. I took inspiration from many other indie magazine adverts, keeping with the simplistic to the point nature of the ad in order to sell the product efficiently whilst keeping a strong link between this and my music video as I still use the same actors.

Magazine Adverts

In the indie genre magazine adverts are usually simply an image of the band or album cover with simple text explaining the album name and where it is out, this is what I wanted to recreate with my advert.The text is very simple and straightforward for the purpose of selling the album or show, this is what I tried to replicate in my advert.
