Evaluation: Media Technologies Question 4

Youtube Stats

Youtube Stats

To focus on our target audience we wanted to research the source and styles of viewings of our music video. We went into the youtube video stats page, from there we were able to view demographics, geographical maps and general stats of the video. We found out that the majority of the views where form the UK, this is probably down to the social media promotion. 

Survey Monkey : Gaining Feedback

Survey Monkey : Gaining Feedback

Promoting the Survey Via Social Media:
We decided the best way to promote our video and to gain feedback was social media. We created a post that was shared, it explained how to fill out the survey and where to find the video. We posted it on Facebook  making sure people where liking and sharing it so it then was viewable on their timeline. We repeated the process for Twitter, we also hast-tagged to gain global feedback.

Collecting Result:

After a few hours we started to gain some really good feedback on our video, the majority of people found the music video enjoyable and were able to follow the story. We are still promoting the survey via social media's. Overall we have gained very positive feedback, people enjoyed the music and thought the genre suited the video.

Final Outside Cover For Digi Pack

Final Digi-Pack Outside Design

How we made our final digi-pack design on Photoshop Cs6 software. 

We decided to keep to the same photo's from the my (Ellie's) draft as we agreed that it suited the theme more with a young male on a beach, looking through the male gaze like a reoccurring theme in our music video.

For the Front cover we decided to chose a different font that will suit the album cover theme more. We also used curves to adjust the lighting and contrast in the cover, but did not want to adjust it too much so reverted more so the the colours that were first edited.

We also changed the font in the Back cover to match the front, by doing this it shows consistancy.

After editing both sides we changed the size of the canvas and placed both sides on the canvas. By grouping the layers to move the images as a whole.

We carefully lined up the horizon of the sea when adding the background cover as this is important for the panoramic view. To give the effect of before and after the wave has hit.

By adding the line of separation it highlights the front and the back cover better, making the image flow.
