* We did an audience feedback session with 19 people, 14 girls, but 5 boys as well aged between 15-18.



* Every person that we asked said that the video looked professional. Some of the main reasons why they liked the video were: the changing clothes shots, the effects, there was lots going on, it is eye catching, quirky and fun, with nice bright colours.


* Others music videos they compared it to are Duffy – Warwick Avenue, Kesha – tik tok and Dolly Rockers, which is interesting because the first two of these were some of our references.


* The majority seemed to get that our video is performance and concept based. And that the changing clothes was the concept. People identified the themes as being: lost love – break up, London, femininity and youth, independence and fun.


* They all got that the genres was pop, some even specified retro pop/alternative pop – this is good as it meant that the genre came across strongly in our video.



* When asked about the identity of the artist our feedback described her as; quirky, likeable, young, pretty, individual, appealing, fun to watch, original, fashionable, flirty/sexy


* They listed a lot of mainstream music channels that it would be shown on such as 4music, MTV, The Box, TMF, The Hits, MTV hits, NME, Q


* They listed a lot of mainstream magazines that it would be reviewed in such as Time Out, Smash hits, mainstream music, NME, Glamour


* When asked if they wanted to watch it several times over 74% said yes, 10% said no, 16% said maybe – which I think are pretty good results.



* About half of our audience said they would spend money to download the single


* Some of our audiences favourite moments included the clothes changing, the split screens, the end shots, a lot of people liked the reaction shots, and loads of people loved it when Skye danced with the random guy.


* When asked for criticisms people noticed that some of it was out of sync, they thought the change from b&w to colour was too sudden, they wanted more retro clothes, more random people in the video and one person didn’t like Sian’s green lips on the album cover.


* Everyone said they liked the album cover and MySpace and that it fitted well with the video. They said it fits perfectly. It glamorous, it looks very professional and the SKYE cover is great.

Impending Deadline...

Ok our deadlines Friday 27th November,

We have made a start on our Myspace page and have filled in any gaps on our video sequence.

Myspace:

It has the basics of a good myspace page, however we need to add in our photos of the shoot and write up somemore interesting information about Sian.

Majorly we need to think of a name for her, as this will need to be changed asap.

We've uploaded photos of Sian from everyday activities.

Video:

thankfully now all the spaces are filled which is great cos it means we can focus on putting in effects and trying to make it look good.

We need to get feedback from miss before we are complete, hopefully get this by wenesday so we have enough time to alter anything and also have our screening on the Thurs.

Shoot:

Today was meant to be the shoot but unfortunately due to washing the dress, it was dripping wet today which meant we were unable to do it.

Which is why we have now made sure our myspace is getting done, therefore we are technically ahead of schedule as the album cover shouldn't take as long

Artist Name

Soo, we have been thinking a lot about our artists name and we have narraowed it down to three.
1) Sparky
2) Skye
3) Sapphire (Saffy for short)


No one that we have asked so far likes Sparky because everyone thinks it sounds like a childrens tv presenter or a dog's name.  So then we did a poll of Skye or Sapphire with our target audeince and the results were that 60% said they liked Skye better and 40% said Sapphire. We agreed with our audience and so we went with Skye. I am very pleased with this as i think it is a really original and memorable name and it is girly but also shows off her quirky personality. So its perfect!

Teacher Feedback

Yesterday miss gave us our first proper feedback on our footage. She said...

*Our "camera movement was the best out of all the groups"! (OO YEAH)

* Some shots she felt were too long, and we agree. We need to cut them up and put other shots inbetween to keep it interesting.

* She thought we got a great performance out of Sian, but that her lipsyncing wasn't always perfect so we need to play around with the editing to get it as good as we can. Or we can just make it so amazing that no one notices.

Changing Clothes Editing

Over the last couple of weeks we have been trying out some of the changing clothes wdits that we wanted to do.  I think they are going pretty well and are looking really good. We have a revoling door one, and lampost one, and a walking towards the camera clothes change. We have also been trying out some split screens and i am happy with how they are looking as well. Look out for them in our video... :)
