Q3

Media Video Feedback:

Me and the group asked a person who had viewed our video a few questions about the song as well as the video. We done this to see if what we wanted to achieve, was accomplished. From this video we realised that the male proatogonists within the video would be stereotyped due to the characteristics portrayed. Also our main objective was to help people realise situations which are happening here in the UK. This means the song is educational as well entertaining. From the feedback, I realised I achieved this objective as the interviewee tells us people need to understand problem which are happening within our community effecting lives around us.

Magazine Front Cover And Advertisement:

1. What type of things would you expect to see on a hip hop magazine advertisement?

2. Would you prefer the product to be text based or picture based?

3. Does the cover of the album have any influence in your choice of buying the item?

4. Are you a regular reader of magazines?

From the research feedback, I grasped the idea that the majority of the public are into the urban scene. This allowed us to know which type of magazine to locate the magazine advert. However, we needed to know what specific details must be included for it to stand out and to suit its customers satisfaction. From our research I also identified that even though the the colours which portrayed throughout the productions are dark, I knew we had to keep the same dark contrast, However, the professionalism of the magazine advertisement will be shown by creating a sophisticated product behind all the darkness captivated. This also metaphorically explains the use of binary opposition as the the contrast between dark and light refers to the good and bad represented within the music video. As well as this, Allowed me to develop on the initial ideas I had for the magazine ad. Therefore the audience feedback strengthened the audience satisfaction levels.





After the research and planning side of the production, immediately after all products where completed we asked for feedback from the audience. The videos above thoroughly explain what people first feel when they see the advertisement. I got feedback from two different perspectives to show me a wider understanding of the audiences feelings towards the product.

Digipak:

Immediately, when you see the album cover, you see what you expect to see. An album cover which includes darkness. The use of dark imagery has been shown all the way through the productions. The scenery which is portrayed includes the use of pathetic fallacy creating a dark and mysterious atmosphere, again relating to the way the music video was edited. As well as the scenery the use of graffiti text show that this is an urban genre again connecting with the text used for the magazine front cover. Finally, I put the parental advisory sign on the bottom right of the cover. This was done to show that explicit and violent language is used within the CD warning people before they buy it. The reason behind making the rating a 15+.
