How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

When making my CD booklet i tried to create an outdoor style to the leaflet. I made sure that all of the photos ere taken outdoors and in locations that i thought were interesting or naturalistic. I like the idea of creating the same kind of feel as the one in the video and so this is why I have done this. I also liked the comments written in the CD booklet of Heathen Chemistry by Oasis and so i tried to re-create the same kind of feel by writing a comment from each band member.

I think that i could have added more images of the band performing from different gigs, however this wouldn't have really fitted in with the naturalistic style of the booklet. We could have used more photos of the band together outside which would have looked better than all of them being photos of us on our own. I think i could have also changed the colour of the photos to make it look much older like i did with the video. The leaflet I think needed much more information about the band and possibly more thank you sections. I think the leaflet lacked what the first two pictures had which was photoshop editing. The idea of me and Alex playing the guitar on the same wall and then mirroring one another was a good idea.

I think that my photoshop skills have improved greatly but i could improve much more as i was often needing direction on how to do certain things. I also think i have improved in my planning towards my ancillary task and i think this shows when looking at the way i've linked

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

I have definitely used conventions of a indie/rock video. I have used shots that are similar to those in the video songbird by Oasis. The mid shots that i use of me playing are very similar in the way that they are slightly low angle and i play a acoustic guitar like Liam does. I have also decided to choose a location outside where their are trees and fields etc. just like Songbird. The rest of the band doesnt feature in Songbird and so i have decided to follow this convention in my video as well. I have done this simply because it makes it easier for me to film as i am not relying on others as much.

I have also followed the fashion trend of Oasis. They often wear jeans, sun shades and jackets. I have chosen to use Fred Perry as i have seen Gem Archer from oasis wearing this clothing label.

Construction

Whats going well? - The filming is well under way now but i feel as though i have started this process too late. I feel as though more planning could have gone into my filming but i think that over all i planned reasonably well.


What do i need to improve? -

Shooting schedules

I plan to shoot several time during the next weekend and then if possible, each lesson.
Dates that i will film on:

19th february
20th february and then when ever possible during the holidays.

Target Audience

Our target audience is mainly the younger generation that are into indie. I think that the video will appeal to the younger generation as
