Today I showed my video to my other teacher Mr Michie. He stated that he liked the music video however the main improvement that he suggested was that the pace needed to be picked up right after I got into the car. This is because he felt that the video slowed down when the music started to pick up. One of his suggestions to improve this was that the car should be driving off immediately after the lights come on. He also suggested that the camera work needed to be improved in order for the video to sustain its atmosphere. I will take these improvements on board for when I go out and shoot more footage.

Feedback from music video first draft
Today in class we presented the first drafts of our main tasks. The main objective of this was to gain feedback from everyone for what was going well with the project and what needed improving. This will help me in improving my project when I go to re-shoot it in the future.
The main strengths that I received were that the music was interesting and kept the audience engaged with the video and fitted well in general. This is very helpful to me because I now know that I am on the right track and the idea is intriguing to some extent. Furthermore, people said that the editing of the shots and transitions between them fit well with the music. This is good because I know that I should keep editing the video like this as it seems work very well. It was also suggested that I used a good range of shots in the video such medium shots and close ups which is good because this keeps the audience engaged with the video itself along with the music.
People have also suggested a lot of improvements to the video that could be made to make it a better music video. Some of the main improvements that have been suggested our that there needs to be some colour correction in order to make the shots look good and effective and night time. It was also suggested that some of the shots were held for too long and so i need to try and create some more shots to maybe keep the viewer interested. I also got a lot of feedback suggesting that the colour of the title makes it hard to read and so I should think about maybe changing the colour or increase the spacing between the letters to make it much clearer to the audience. Some also stated that it was hard to see the narrative/purpose of the video and so maybe I should work on trying to improve the way the narrative is told and to try and give the character more of a purpose.

Music poster advertisement Second draft
This is the second draft of my poster advertisement for my digi-pack. I have kept the same layout from my first draft as from my research I think this works best in terms of an advertisement poster. I have mainly tweaked the colours of the poster and have also added the updated version of my digi-pack to the poster. I think matching the font and colour of the digi-pack is essential as from my research into posters and digi-packs this is how artists create a brand for themselves and so I have chosen this route as well.

Digi-Pack second draft
This is my second draft for my Digi-pack ancillary task. I have made the image a lot more striking in its appearance by changing the background to a purple and blue smoke. I have done this as I think it suits the theme of the music video and the whole synth-wave genre. I have also changed the font and made it pink to make it stand out more, however I still feel that I could change this a bit to suit the overall theme of the music video and the genre of music. I also still need to create the other sides of the digi-pack to expand on what I have already done.
