Evaluation Questions and Mark Scheme

Here are the evaluation questions that we must address, concerning our music videos. Below is the mark scheme and criteria that we should follow, in order to achieve a high mark. It is also quite helpful, as i am able to distinguish what is needed in each evaluation and what vital information i should incorporate overall. 

Finished Magazine Advert

Here is my finished magazine advertisement, illustrating the band album cover so that viewers immediately know the band and can recognize the album.I have also kept with the same colour scheme and theme, as the digipak for continuity purposes and associations that viewers can make. At the top I have also included the release date for the album for selling purposes. The song 'Deep End' which we produced our music video for is at the bottom, illustrating, as well as some reviews and star ratings to attract interest. In very small text i have also included the record label so that it is a continued feature throughout, and so they are also recognised.

Finshed DigiPak

Here is an image of my finished digipak, showing all four panels, and including the spine.

 

Concerning the text on my digipak, on the front cover I have used the band name 'ARLA' and the album name 'The Waking Hour.' On the back panel of my digipak I have listed all 12 songs, including 'Deep End' in which our music video was made for. I have also inserted a bar-code in order for it to look realistic. In the right hand corner i have put the record label, and the websites of the band and record label. After researching various CD covers i decided to include this, once again for my digipak to appear realistic.

The FINAL Product - Deep End

So here it is, our final and finished music video for Ellie Goulding's 'Starry Eyed' which we renamed 'Deep End.' After a long period of time and hard work, that consisted of research, planning, filming and editing we finally managed to finish our Advanced Portfolio project in time! Hopefully everyone enjoys it, just as much as we enjoyed producing it!

Finished Product Vlog

In this vlog, i am explaining how we have just finished our music video, as well as an explanation of any changes we had made to our Advanced Portfolio. 

Dinner Scene Representation

Here are some screen shots from the 'Dinner Scene' that we filmed for our music video. The reason for filming this particular scene was to present the differences between our female protagonist Rosie and her family, as she appears as isolated and the odd one out throughout this scene.

Mise-en-scene was highly considered when filming this scene, therefore we included props such as a teapot, teacups and a plate of cakes. This made the scene appear realistic and illustrated the characters of Rosie's family. These props also signified our 'Alice in Wonderland' theme as it was like the 'Mad Hatters Tea Party' which again conforms to the idea and representation that Rosie is alone and lost, just like the character of Alice.

In this scene that i have taken from our music video, you can see the contrast between Rosie and the rest of her family, as the drinking of the tea appears to unite her parents and sister, whilst Rosie is left alone. This isolates her from the remainder of the family, presenting her as an outcast.

The editing was significant in this scene, as the fast pace and layering of the clips creates a chaotic atmosphere. This illustrates the confusion and chaos surrounding Rosie and her life. Also, in this scene we see Rosie again appearing isolated and different to her family, as her dad shouts at her, presenting conflict and Rosie as an outcast from the rest of the family once again.
