Media Evaluation Question 4 (Scott Jenkinson)

Evaluation Question Four (Joel Lampkin)

First Draft Music Video

Below is our music video, we are currently looking for audience feedback to tell us where we can improve and what we can do better. By doing this we can take on board other things that people from different backgrounds intercept as good or bad which will ultimately make our music video the best it can be, bare in mind that this is only our first draft and in no means the finished article. If you would like to share any views regarding the video please comment below and we will try to take on board some of your suggestions, Thank You (Joel).

Updated poster

In this picture you see both members of the band Jack in the background and Joel in the foreground, When editing we had an idea that we should incorporate both the instruments, this is also making a clear understanding of who is who. 

This picture was originally our main  design for the album cover, then we decided that we could try adding different texts to male it a poster. In this screenshot it is showing a recently updated version of the poster, this version adds the '5 stars', quote and 'Coming soon' - each new addition adds to the overall quality to the poster and the work.

Here is a screenshot showing our updated version of a poster, the updated version contains the title 'How to save a life' and the date of the release for album - '20/06/14'

Audiences Response to Questionnaire

With these results we decided to go with The Fray - How to Save a Life. This questionnaire gave us a stimulus to bass our music video on and by this we knew what the audience would like to see in the music video. This determined how our poster would be and the theme of the whole music production. We decided that we would make it all black and white to give a sense of mystery, and making it seem sad.

Group Blog Reflection

During the previous week, we have been piecing together our final production of our music video by editing the video scenes together. Myself, Jack and Scott have been working hard to make sure that the syncing of our music video is in line together and then piecing together which piece of the music video goes where.


We have been looking at other groups music videos as well as the chief examiners blog in order to gain extra tips for improvement in order to achieve top marks. Our music video is extremely close to being the finished product but we are still experimenting with certain editing effects, but we are confident that our music video will be uploaded through our various social networking sites by Friday the 15th march. Our blog posts are updated regular and our group reflection blogs will be updated weekly in order to keep pur teacher and other pupils updated with our blog and progress.

Group reflection - so far

Group reflection

In this blog post we will be talking about our reflection/thoughts on our progress so far, we will be covering the video, blogger posts and our overall work!

Music video - We have recently came to the decision that our video is close to being finished, the finishing pieces evolve around the editing process - applying the correct transitions, in time with song and the overall piece. The recording process of our group is done but all that is needed now is to apply the edits to the video.
