Analyse of questions from survey monkey


Today i went and looked on survey monkey to see if we have had any response back, which to my surprise we have had 5 completed questionaires back. Here are a shot shot of the page and individual screen shots of each question, which below will have an analysis of what the participants said.





This is a screen shot of the web page up on the screen, this is to show what we could see.







The first question is: are you male or female?


Out of the 5 participants, all of them are females. This isnt a good thing because, the views wont be balance. This is because men have different views on things than women.





The second question is: how old are you?


Which 1 person answered they are under 18 and the other 4, said they are between 18 to 21. this is a good mixture of ages. This is because everyone have a different opinions on the things they like, but espically at different ages. Has people younger tend to like upbeat songs, whereas older people tend to go for more down to earth songs. Which uses the Levi- Strauss and binary oppositions, because both things are oppisite to each other.






The third question is: what genre of music do you like?


Where over half of the participants like indie/ rock type of music. Which is good for us, because our song is indie, and the fact that they like this genre, means that they are more likley to like our song we chose for the music video. While one of the females like R & B, and the last one like any sort of genre.





Question 4: Did you enjoy our music video?


This was very surprising because all of the participants who completed the survey answered yes, that they enjoyed our music video. Which is incredable and if they like it, then theres a greater possiblity that other people may like it.






The question being: what was a key moment for you in the music video?


4 of the participants believe that the flash backs was the best feature in the video. the flask backs being between the good time she had with him, then clips with the female character being on her own. Which fit in very well with the story line, of the relationship breaking down. another key moment one of the participants enjoyed was the flying umbrella. which people we have showed it to, loved. we manage to do this by a bit of strong wind.






The sixth question we asked was: out of 10 what would you give us for our overall video?


Which 3 of the participants gave us 9 out of 10, and 2 of the participants gave use full marks. these marks given to us are extremly good, because we know that they enjoyed the video. which makes us feel that we have achieved producing a good music video that people enjoy.




The last questions was: for downloading and marketing purposes would you purchase the song?


Which all participants said they would, so we know that they did like out song and music video. also the idea that the music video did increase the value of the song, as people are willing to download the song, whereas before they may not.

question 2

I maked this slide show on slide share. net, where i found it very easy to make and produce. The only difficulties i had was when trying to upload it onto my blog. Which in the end i manage to achieve the task of uploading it.

Evaluation part 1

Question 1:
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenges forms and conventions of real media products?
Through out our music video we have used a number of conventions of real music products. In a real music video you would see:

Here are the conventions we used within our music video:

In our media video we have all of the above. Our story line is about a relationship that breaks up, but the girl cant forget about the good times she had with her boyfriend. Which concludes the idea of switching from present time to the past, that uses different camera shots from close ups to mid shots to long shots. Our lip syncing is good as its in time with the lyics most of the time, and the instrument used is a guiltur.

Throught out our music video we uses various locations including:

--------- regents park

---- drama room

----------oxford street

Our locations used are locations that people use everyday, they are realitity locations. While other videos like Wham and Duran Duran uses escapistim in their videos to give a sense of escapistim for reality.For example the picture below:

Our music video is postmodern in the sense that nothing is new, as most of the idea have been used before, so they are somebody elses old ideas. The locations that we used were realistic and following the urban grit, we chose this so that many different types of audineces can relate to this video. In my opinion our video does captured the mood of song very well by. The ideas we researched for our videa are involved in our theme and fitted those well with the idea that we came up. The table shows we used lip syncing, which was to a standard. We decided that our music video should tell a story and not be a dance video as it is a folk, indie style song. Which having a dance wouldnt match the genre of the song. The song was quite emotional, so we thought about useing a very sensitive subject of a relationship breakdown. Our music video didnt follow all of the conventions of media products. For example in misic video the glamourous best looking and skinny girls are used. Were as in our the average girl is used. Which put the point across that everyone has once had their heart broken.

evaluation Link between twilight and our music video

Throughout our music video we have used a variety of ideas from the popular film Twilight. We used ideas such as the bed room scenes where Bella wakes up and sees edward, but when she wakes up again he's not there, because people enjoyed them. The ideas we immitated are scenes which people from the public will recongise because its so popular.

The bedroom scene

As you can see from the photos above we tired to immiate this scene by first having the male character looking at the female character in the corner, which is meant to represent Edward stands in the corner watching Bella sleep. Next we filmed the the part where she wakes up to find that he actually is'nt there and that she was dreaming he was there. This idea went well with our music video because he express the emotion the girl was going through of losing the person she loved. by imagining he there with her, when in reality he isnt.

The tree scene

The next idea we gathered from twilight was the tree scene where they are standing there having a good converstation getting to know each other, and having a good time. we used the tree because is was something different and looked good. we used this in our past events, which showed how the couple got on and how they was meant to be.
