Evauluation of UNIT 54

My evauluation on this unit:

In this unit we did digital printing and digital editing - we made three logo's for three different music stations/radio stations, this was a fun thing to do because we learnt a lot and got a lot of new ideas come through as we was working through this task. In this task we learnt how to make the logo's.

We worked as a class to make one before we did decide to go on alone and carry on with it, making it at first was quite stressful because there was a lot of things we had to remember to be able to make these. It was fun! Making these was to draw onto Photoshop the shape and image we wanted for the three different images for the three different music stations. one of them was called 'BUZZ'.

I will use this as my example as of explanation of how we did it:
  • making the image
  • choosing the colour
  • fitting it to the screen
  • detail
  • any extra detail
  • adding text
  • changing colour/font
The different stages of this quite pacific and can be quite difficult to remember, we were given ways of remembering on how to do this, this was a clever way.
I think I worked quite well in this unit because I focused really well on the brief that we got given for this unit, it was effective and it was a very interesting and easy blog to follow.

Overall I think I did really well on this UNIT.

Article on research


Article

Being the media researcher that I am, I conduct primary, secondary,  qualitative and quantitative research.  It is important to conduct research so that you can accurately target an audience. My most recent that I had was to complete audience, market and production research for a music video. This was an interesting job for me to have and I learnt a lot of new things.
Audience research: this is when we do research into our target audience. It is important to do this because you need to understand what your target audience want and how they want things to be. This is important because we need to understand our audience so that we can target them directly for our music/video. Doing research into your audience is the most important part of doing research because it relates back to most of the work. Primary and quantitative research is important and this involves questionnaires to find out the likes and dislikes and we will also need to build a audience profile in this case. Qualitative research a good idea to find out information would be doing vox pops videos to find out the audiences interests then we will have a lot of information about our audience, allowing us to create a audience profile.

Market research: this is when we do research into existing products and competitors this is extremely important because we need to know who we are competing with and how we can maximise the audience. We have to decide the best way for this research to be complete. For the primary it would be the best to do focus groups to find out viewing habits, secondary would be reading you tube comments/forums for the best outcome and another secondary would be look at existing videos for conventions. Overall, market research gives us a clear idea of the current market.

Production research: this is when research into how to actually produce the video and why it is important because it allows us to be well organised and therefore save money during the production. Quantitative research would be looking at the budget we have for this certain part of the research. Then the primary would be the location and what we have ready for this location and how we are going to be using it. Primary research for looking at the personnel and the interviews for the rest of the interview and the media, which will be involved.  We will have to have the props costume and actors organised to do so also.

It is proposed that the music video will be of 4 minutes duration, filmed at home and in the school and edited at our Sutton facility. This is extremely helpful that we have a close area to the school and to the home area so we don't have to pay for the travel of the music video filming.


The music video will be aimed at young teenagers. This is because the people in the music video are young and are singing about things teenage girls may be going through. Main target is girls. This is because it relates more to girls because it hasn't got a lot for boys to relate to.


The music video will represent the girls who are in love with boys, this will show how much they want the girls to be involved into the several locations that have been involved or visited in the shortlisted music video. This is because it is put together well and has different ideas about the music video this is rare and may take only a few try’s to get the location visit sheet ready and shortlisted.



Several locations have been visited and a shortlist has been drawn up:

Suggested locations are:
House
Bedroom
Green screen in school media
Outside walking


Structure

The music video ‘Love Drunk’ will have different shots of people getting involved in the video and will have different structured ideas of how the locations have changed and what the bedroom location may look like outside. The walking ways of how the distant and start of the green screen may only take a few try’s to get the location ready. The structure is very important and can cut too the singing about teenager boys.

The music video will start with the 2 girls singing and dancing around in their bedroom and making a new idea about what they are going to be doing for the rest of the day. They are going to be together in the bedroom to be having a girls sleepover and enjoying the time they have together. This will be effective because it has the idea of the girls being together and being able to have them all as a group and let them work together as one.

Titus Andronicus Storyboards

these storyboards are showing the different ideas we had for the titus andronicus piece we created these as a group and made them add in together - they all had a good idea of how the pieces would be coming together; the choice of these were as follows: we thought of them as a team which made more sense because it had a better idea about how the different forms of the writing were made, we thought these storyboards had a different idea of how the showing efforts were made. this shots are the most important because they have the pieces of the storyboard being created and adding them in together and showing the different ideas we had for the titus andronicus and that we thought that these because they had showing efforts of the different forms and the writing were made in different as follows. we thought that the screenshots and the blogging spot on the work screen had to be changed and the storys on the board weren't that accurate.

Risk Assessment Music Video


Risk Assessment

No.
Hazard
Existing Control Measure
Risk Rating

Crossing road – getting hit by car
Could be very hard to control and have a lot of problems.

Loosing something & having different choices.
Could depend on what it is you have lost – could be something quite serious or something not so much.
medium or high

Breaking props.
The seriousness of this could be high.
medium

Loosing someone
Could end up in big danger if not sorted out straight away.
high

Risk rating:

High: Current controls totally inadequate with serious consequences, death(s), serious injury, long term illness, health. Or there is a very high probability of the hazard occurring.

Medium: Current controls still poor but consequences less serious: Minor injury, short term ill health with no lasting effects.

Low: Current controls are adequate to minimise the risk so far as reasonably practicable.
