Evaluation question 2

I chose to answer evaluation question 3 'How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?' through a power-point presentation, which I narrated over.

This is my flash animated answer to evaluation question 3 -

'What have you learned from your audience feedback?'

As the programming language Actionscript 3 (which I had to use) is completely new to me, there may be slight issues within the animation and it is fairly limited in interactions - but it is a good start.

Evaluation question 4

One aspect of the advanced portfolio course is using new media technologies in the research and production. It's worth evaluating how I used them and what their strengths and weaknesses are so that I can make even better use of technology in future projects.

All physical production work (digipak and magazine advert) in FULL SIZE

Note: These are the full sizes of my magazine advert and digipak covers, they are unlikely to fit very well onto the screen but if you want a more detailed version of the work, this is where it is.

Last editing update and final music video

Although I was happy with my music video already - I decided that I wanted to see if I could improve it even further with the feedback on small details from my media studies teacher. A form of audience feedback.

Minor improvements I have made here include removing a clip of footage at 1:36-7 and replacing it with a longer door-peep-hole shot. Before, there was another cut back to the very quick bathroom scene - but it didn't contribute much and instead seemed to make the quick cutting a little too repetitive and uncomfortable. 

The second change I made was replacing footage of the actress walking up a hill at 2:39, with more still footage of a close-up on the actress' face. Following the climax of the argument between her and the male character, I was advised that people might want to see more of her emotion and less of her just walking. I therefore used a close-up shot so that you can relate to how drained she feels through her expression, which combines with the skeleton make-up to a great effect. 

The final change I made was uploading my video in 720p HD and this time without letterbox bezels on all sides of the video.
