Art of Peer Pressure Website

This is the link to my website

http://joewhitbread.wix.com/jcwmediaa2

My website was based mostly on Kendrick Lamar's color scheme with Grey and Reds
I have put the most things that are important to a music related website such as sharing the website
or the music, a store and a picture gallery of the artist.

This a link to the advert to our music video which at the end shows the
contents of my Digi-Pak and there is montage of scenes from the video
from what is shown it looks like both medias fit in well together as two separate but
related pieces of work.

Evaluation 3

What have you learned from your audience feedback?






 To get are audience feedback, we made 8 people watch are piece and fill out are questionnaire, the people who had filled it out where completely random and we got some mixed opinions from those we had asked.

Pros

- The video does link to its intended audience.
- The effectiveness of some of the shots used
- The song fits the intended genre
- Use of car
- Range of transition and effects
- The characters well chosen

Cons

- Cliche
- The story does not fit together.

Evaluation 4

How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
 These Images show us working with both laptop to edit are work and use various programs e.g Wix and Blogger.

The second image shows us working with the camera for various pieces of work.

Media technologies in this piece had helped us greatly in all aspects of are work. For the planning stage we used it to research artists, locations and props a lot of what we saw on the internet had made its way into the the music.

The technology was used obviously in the filming and development  partly for editing and filming but more importantly for the Digi - pak.

When finishing the only technology is only used when updating the the blog.

Final Music Video Making 4












These Images show that we had create various effects such as slowing down clips
and reversing theme to have them show what we wanted for example there is a shot of feet getting out of the car, we reversed that to show the person getting in the car.

These images are showing some of the cuts we
where making in the process of re doing the video.

There is also an image displaying the 'just ridin'
clip we had added in during process of editing
there has also been subliminal messages put into the video which are done in a similar style to the
'just ridin' clip.

These Images show some of the effects options we had
used in our knew redesigned video there are some notable changes
to our videos SFX mostly at the start and driving scenes we added a unfocused filter to give the piece the right atmosphere to start the piece of and for driving scenes we added a camera recording logo to give it the look of a home video.

Music video draft





Website set up change

I have changed the layout of my website as the layout I had been using seemed outdated and when
looking at the websites of mainstream artists, I noticed that they each have a certain defined look to them

This is an example from the Eminem music video  the page opens up to promotional image of both Eminem and Rhianna promoting a new song or album. I went a similar route with my own website when I had made the changes to my piece replacing my menu page with the front cover of my C.D.

    I had also looked at dedicating an a page to tour dates, I took that
from other mainstream rappers and other artists websites to add to my own websites plausibility.

Health and Saftey

Are music video features props that look extremely realistic the most obvious of
which was a gun which was used at various points during the video, this gun is a fake
it was a bb gun which was unloaded.

There was another scene showing acts of of physical violence I would like to point out that scene
was acted out no form of assault actually happened.

The driver of are music video was fully qualified to do so and safety precautions where taken even
though it looked otherwise through the video.
