(Post 23) Audience Research

In our audience research, we are trying to find out what age groups are most interested in music videos and other media products such as films, streaming networks and cinemas. We are interested in finding out the differences between the people we will be interviewing in the Wymondham town center and the people from our school.
The age bracket we will be looking to focus on specifically will be about 40-70 year olds compared to 17-18 year olds. The older age bracket is quite a wide range however, the people we will be interviewing in the town centre, are expected to mainly be in this age group. Depending on the person interviewed, we occasionally adapted or changed some of the questions to make them more suitable to the interests and answers of the person.
  1. When was the last time you went to the cinema and what did you see?
  2. Do you stream films online?
  3. Do you tend to stream more films or tv programmes/series?
  4. When was the last time you watched a music video?
  5. (If they can remember the music video they last watched) What did you like about it?
  6. Would you recommend watching music videos to friends?
  7. Would you recommend a good film to friends?

(Post 15) Ancillary Task 1 Practice

Image
We were given a task in groups of 2/3 to create a film poster in response to a ready made one from a previous film. Our poster was Rocky V: (this is the original) The one we made: We took some photos of Luke in the same position as the man in the Rocky V poster. We took a wide range and then selected the 2 most similar ones to the poster that we were given. We then moved them over to Photoshop and layered the two images over the top of an American flag, which was as similar to the original poster as possible. We then cut around the full body image, in order to get rid of the background of that photo in order to place it on top of the American Flag. Then we added the close up image of Luke behind the full body image. we put it all together, and in the end became a successful poster.

(Post 22) Forms and Conventions

Image
The forms and conventions of a professional music video include many different aspects of video making which we'll try to conform to, but also challenge in some areas. In terms of camera angles, professionally made music videos tend to use a range of different shots such as close-ups, long-shots and mid-shots which all help create emphasis on the singer or band, the location they are in and the emotions their song is trying to bring across. Camera movements such as tilts, pans, tracking an crane shots all help follow and trace the artist. Most music videos have the performance of the artist as the main part of the video, sometimes a story is added to the performance, either enacted by an actor or the artist themselves. The transition between storyline and the performance of the artist is often created through the use of jump cuts or fade and dissolve effects, which allow sudden changes from one scene to another. Besides the filming and editing techniques, miss-en-scene is a h...
