- Start is a nice setting so the audience has a better understanding of the character.
- Two males could be in a relationship but are just friends.
- Leans forward so it is a friend giving him comfort, telling him that his dog is going to die could normally be a girl because they’re known to show more emotion but it is just a boy.
- Looking down on the dog so we could show the dog on his own so the viewers show emotion for the dog and feel sorry for him.
- Sat down and looks vulnerable, understand and feel sorry for him as we’re starting to get to know the character better.
- Got Jordan to look down at the floor so people can see his emotions more.

Final Music Video
Evaluation Question 4
Here I have answered Evaluation Question 4 which is 'How did you use new media technologies in the construction,research, planning and evaluation stages?'
Evaluation Question 3
Below I have answered evaluation question 3: What have you learned from audience feedback?
After this we then used it throughout the production of filming and editing so that we could stay on time and complete it to the standard that the target audience would like to see so word of mouth gets around through them potentially telling friends and family so more people view the music video. The evidence below shows this as we got audience feedback throughout to keep their individual needs satisfied with our music video.
There's a variety of different ways in which I conducted my audience research. I used the internet to create online surveys through survey monkey as well as using social media with sites like Facebook and Twitter as I know a huge factor of my target audience (15-21) use these social media sites daily making it easy to get hold of people and advertise the progress I've been making throughout. I only did it twice being at the start to gain more ideas for the production of the video as well as when I had completed the rough cut of the video so that I could gain constructive criticism in order to complete the final completed video to the best of my ability.
As well as this I also showed my music video to Media Studies classes on a regular basis so I could gain a lot of feedback as well as people being able to tell me if they thought it was being improved when they pointed out something that was wrong with the music video before hand. As well as this I went to a couple forms in upper school as the students are 14-16 year olds which meant I was getting a great range of feedback from people aged (14-18) boys and girls which is a big range of my target audience. I also know a few students in year 12 who are taking Media Studies who gave me more constructive criticism with one of the main issues being that the video didn't stick to it's narrative which I then spent time in changing by making the actor show more emotion and adding more scenes for example, him sitting down looking upset with a picture of his dog on his electrical tablet showing his dog is no longer with us.
Through the feedback I gained from the audience a lot of them felt as though the music video was quite sad when they realize that the dog dies which makes it a very emotional video. This response was mainly showed by females but some of the males that we showed the video to also felt quite heart broken from the dog dying which was good as I really wanted to catch some of the male audience to feel emotion as the video contradicts the stereotypical male and conveys the actor in the music video to being emotional and showing his feelings which really helped with the audience feedback.
Another big impact the audience feedback made was on the production of my ancillary tasks. This is because I continuously asked people in my Media Studies class if they thought there was anything I could improve upon within my ancillary tasks which helped me keep updating them and making them to a higher standard such as changing my font type because it didn't link to the genre Indie-Pop that I was trying to achieve as well as also changing images because some of them didn't interest people enough to want to watch the music video if they saw it.
All of the audience feedback that I received was based on the fact they knew that the work I was producing was for my A levels and not professionally. This is because I hadn't been trained or taught before doing this task that I was set apart from creating a music magazine consisting of a front cover, double page spread and contents last year for my AS which is why I am a practitioner on 'Adobe Premiere-Pro' because I haven't reached the best of my ability on it yet.
Overall I would say that the audience feedback that I received was so important and is what i needed to make my work reach the level I wanted it to fulfill. It helped us especially in the creation of creating the sub-genre Indie-Pop in fulfilling it to help it look professional as well as adhere to the conventions and narrative.
Audience feedback has made a big impact within the development of my music video because without it we would have struggled to gain our target audience's attention this effectively. Through the research we gained an idea of wanting to base our music video around the Indie-Pop genre but without our audience feedback we defiantly wouldn't have had such a confident idea of basing our video around this throughout the development of the video.
If our music video didn't appeal to our target audience then it wouldn't be effective or professional. This also helps us gain more opinions on our work and made people be very critical about it so we could get it created to the best of our ability. This made the production of the video better as it enabled us to be more confident with the decisions we were making as we knew it came partly from our target audience who agreed with what we were doing.
Throughout the course we used a lot of audience feedback including the planning stages where I created a survey on surveymonkey.com to find what people's favorite genre's were to help give me a better insight into finalizing what genre I wanted to create my music video on.
After this we then used it throughout the production of filming and editing so that we could stay on time and complete it to the standard that the target audience would like to see so word of mouth gets around through them potentially telling friends and family so more people view the music video. The evidence below shows this as we got audience feedback throughout to keep their individual needs satisfied with our music video.

The first thing I did when I received my audience feedback was to make sure I had it all down in pen and paper so I wouldn't forget the feedback that I had been given, after these improvements were made I then put them onto my blog so that I could show the impact of my target audience and how they've helped me develop my blog dramatically. We had to re-film quite a lot of our recordings though as the camera that we were using was faulty and would only film for a certain amount of time before cutting out which made us a lose a little time which we then had to catch up on.
Through the feedback I gained from the audience a lot of them felt as though the music video was quite sad when they realize that the dog dies which makes it a very emotional video.

As well as all of this from my audience research I was able to know what the best shot of the music video was which is an Establishing shot when the actor is running with his dog (at Escot church) and we then faded the dog out with the actor on his own showing that the dog has passed away.
Overall I would say that the audience feedback that I received was so important and is what i needed to make my work reach the level I wanted it to fulfill. It helped us especially in the creation of creating the sub-genre Indie-Pop in fulfilling it to help it look professional as well as adhere to the conventions and narrative.

Final Poster
Here is my final poster for the creation of my music video. I have used a Mildeast font for the title with the font size being 48 compared to 10 and Oldolive font for the sub text, I used these font types as they're unique and original helping them link to the Indie Pop genre I'm trying to achieve as well as making the title 'arc' as not many poster use this feature very often. I put stars and text in the middle of the image to use up gutter space so there's less of it with there being text in line with the social media logo's at the bottom of the poster to help gain more publicity as a lot of promotion is through Web 2.0 so using these social media sites will promote the video dramatically. I made the house style look consistent through the whole of the poster with the record label also being in the top left of the corner.
