Evaluation Question 4

http://mattholden27.wix.com/evaluationquestion4

This task helped me understand and summarise all of the online tools, technologies, and softwares that I have used throughout the course. By using these technologies I have learnt a lot about presenting work, and how both online and offline programmes work.

Evaluation Question 3

 This task has helped me understand what the audience and other people think of my music video. This is the essential feedback that is needed for any media product, and can help to improve, verify or change any parts of my final piece. Overall, this is something that all directors do and will help to see if my task is successful or not.

Evaluation Question 2

From doing this task, I have a bigger understanding of what I have been doing and what I have learnt. This includes my development from my digipak to my music video, and in what ways they have changed and they haven't. This means that I can clearly see how my editing, creative and camera styles have changed over the period of the course.

Evaluation Question 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

By doing this task, I have increased my own understanding and added clarity to my project as a whole. This is because I have gone through my video detailing and explaining it to the audience. As this is just the first cut for the video, this task will really help me when it comes to editing and creating my second cut, enabling me to emphasise certain points that I don't think were clear enough, and tone down on others that aren't too important. Overall, this task has not only helped me and the audience understand the whole project a lot more, but also it will make future cuts and editing simpler.

Final Cut

This is the final edit of my music video. A few final cuts and edits have been made, but there is not too much difference to the second rough cut. Overall it is a lot smoother and looks more professional. I am very happy with how my final product came out and think it is a good representation of how successful my products can be.

Rough Cut #2

This is the second cut for my music video. This cut is near completion. There are some minor synching issues with the performance sections, however the narrative is complete. The only adjustments to the video will be synching the vocals and maybe slightly adjusting the length/position of the narrative clips. Overall, this is a very near complete video, and our final product will pretty much look like this.

Issues With Guitar Synching

During the filming for the performance, we ran into some issues with the guitar synching. Our main actor who was also lip synching in the video and being our artist couldn't play the guitar, and it looked very unprofessional. We got around this by using another friend who could play the song. We carefully recorded him playing the song, so that you couldn't see it wasn't our original artist and then synched it perfectly with the song. This ended up really well, with the synching then being perfect and the whole project looking more professional.
