podcast

Listen!






I did a podcast for the evaluation, as a different means of presentation.
In this podcast I answer these four questions:
-In what ways does your media product usem, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
-How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary products?
-What have you learned from your audience feedback?
-How did you use media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?

Evaluation

We decided to film our selves in front of the camera and talk throgh our powerpoint. The first draft powerpoint had some missing parts so I went home and looked at other people's evaluation style and got the idea of how to answer the questions better and present it.

As I was doing the presentation I felt comfortable because there were pictures to help me and key words. Last time when we had to evaluate for the opening sequence of a film and did our evaluation in front of the camera with just the questions I felt uncomfortable. So this time preparing the power point really helped me a lot. The power point is there to evaluate our final product but the blogging I believe is the evaluation of everything and without research and experiments we would not have achieved what we have done already.

If we had more time, I would really think things through in more depth and prepare at head of time because you don't know what is going to happen and always have plan B. Through this assessment I learnt things like being punctual, orgnised and write every detail like what we said and why it would work or not. But overall I really enjoyed it becasue it was a time where I could learn other types of music rather than the things I usually listen to and learn the backround and the culture.

Types of editing

These are some screen shots of our music video, I want to talk about the types of editing we used in detail because we used the technique to show the relationship with the lyrics/visuals and visuals/sound. Also to give more effectiveness wthin the music video.

For this we used peep hole editing to create voyeurism and the lyrics matches the visuals as she says the words. Also its a shot where all the members of the band are shown which indicates their unity of one as a band.
 This shot we used water colour, first we thought we had to put some editing to look good but when we applyed it, it made the guitarists to stand out from the graffity backround. Also this shot shows therelationship between visuals and sound.
 For this we used colours to give the filter affect that we could not do due to some problems. As I expected it worked really well withthe style of punk music.
This one we used clour TV and old black and white, as it is how like an old TV. It is a good shot with two guitarist placed diagonally one pointing to the other. We used this to show different techniques and the characteristics of the guitarists because both of them are quite shy and quite.

The technique above is N-square and edges, its our second scene of our music video we though to start with the guitar as there is guitar sound only which matches the sound and visuals. Also N-square is used to show that the artist is falling apart, her feelings and thoughts and she is confused. Edges used to show her dark side and it matches well with the guitar shown.

Through out the video we used the same editing skills to show continuity of the scenes.
