Audience Feedback

We got a group of four 17/18 year olds to watch our music video from our audience demographic. We asked them their thoughts:

What did you like?

  •         The jellyfish are in harmony with the music and add to the music video
  •         General feel of the video is good
  •        Said that this video would influence to buy the song more than if they’d heard the song by itself and they’d be more likely to watch and listen if it was being screened rather than listening on the radio
  •         The juxtaposition of Calvin and Adam was good





What would you change?

  •    Thought the beginning, Adam in the park was incongruous because of Calvin in the same location later on
  •      Possibly make Calvin seem more isolated through filters on the shots (e.g. make them less vibrant than Adam’s shots)



Any other thoughts?

  •      Adam is better when he’s relaxed – for example in the last shot when he didn’t realise he was being filmed
  •       Thought that the genre was ambient dance – this is different to when we asked the focus group without showing them the video, who thought it was indie rock

Digipak

 
 
 
 
I took the lead with the Digipak, below is a first draft of the design, using Photoshop.
Above is one of the first stages in making the top upper right panel, I created it by using different layers of images, with the magnetic lasso tool I deleted sections, placing it on an invisible background so that you can see sections through the other images.
I hand drew a tripod for our tripod productions ident.
I decided to use screenshots taken directly from the video so as to give a strong sense of contingency between all the main task and ancillaries.
We used this template as a blueprint for our digipak design.
