Evaluation Question 2 & 3-




2.How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
We found the running themes of indian culture and the red and gold worked effectively according to audiences.  We seperately presented the room with our music video and thne went on to show our other anicllary texts, which had the positive reponse that this could easily be presented as one project with the same running themes. However, our target audiences felt their was a lack of red colour in the actual music video itself, which is critism we take aboard.

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?
The feedback we have received after our completed project has given as a vivid outside point of view which has definitely lead me to see my project in a new light. Where I was insecure in some aspects, having received positive feedback on magazine advert which I truly wasn't sure on had left me with some content. At the same time the digipack being a more proud aspect of the project, some felt could be improved with a couple tweaks on the background being a little too repetitive. None the less all extremely useful criticism which is much appreciated. Also we had put our completed music video on facebook where we also received a good range of feedback as well as youtube. I was quite surprised when we had more feedback on facebook then youtube although the youtube video is accessible to all. This showed us our target audience was indeed people in our own age group.

Photoshop

Throughout this project one of the most hardest obstacle to overcome was definitely my lack of ability to use Photoshop!
I really struggled at first to edit the photos of Yinka for our Digipack but eventually whenI got a better hang of its tools and gizmos i'd like to  think im a pro now. (Well comopared to what I was like!) However, I still fell I would love to give the digipacks another shot as I would hopefully do better!

Developement Stages

If me and Yinka thought the filming and photography 
was hard work we had no idea what was coming!   
When it was time to sit an delegate who was doing what I was extremely ecstatic to give Photoshop a piece of my mind but ti wasn't until I tried the tools, that the green strokes on Yinka's photo proved it wasn't going to be as easy as I had anticipated.
But we both tackled our phobias on the Mac's and pulled through!

Problems we faced!!

Changes

Shisha Scene  
Once we had finished filming all the footage we required we felt there was a lack of representation of the cultures especially the indian theme. Therefore we decided to add a scene where the lead (Yinka) smoking 'shisha' a traditional hobby for people of the asian ethnic. This was a really enjoyable scene to film as we the crew all got a chance to relax and we really bonded with loads of laugh out load moments!

Behind the scenes!!




This takes you back stage in between all the madness and pressure we were experiencing- this really made me feel like a pro director! We had practice sessions and busy scedules, even where I was unable to attend one of the filming sessions but was happy to have Yinka's sister step in as an assistan director.
