6. I thought about my target audience due to I
thought what music will I listen to and I
thought that young people’s listen to hip hop
in my environment , also I wanted it to
appeal to all teenagers and young adults
due to it relates to a hectic teenagers
lifestyle (16-25 years , to inner city schools,
colleges and young adults starting the
working lifestyle).
7.
8. In addition, my target audience was the
general public aswell because I needed to use a
song that related to everyone that’s going
through relationship problems. The choice of
song could appeal to everyone and this could
help my fan base increase.
I thought by having a broader target audience I
could get more people relating to DEEDEE
music feel her pain, struggle and sorrows!
9. We researched Beyoncé
Like a Boy to relate to
our main project
because it portrays the
on going stress and
sadness that
relationships bring to
people and how it
effects there life
dramatically!
10.
11. We learned how to straight cut an image to
explain another part of the story… then bring
it back to continue with the story so the
audience can understand the message we are
trying to convey and see and understand the
whole concept of our song.
12. We done a questionnaire around the
college and we asked them why do
teenagers and young adults
relationship never last, and the
majority of females said it’s the boys
fault and its because they cheat on
the girl and they do not stay faithful!
One girl even said ‘Relationships are
a WASTE’
Therefore, as a group we chose to
base our theme of our song (OVER
MY DEAD BODY) on relationships !

19. As a group we have received a lot
of comments about our main task
and generally it was a good
feedback.
On the contrary, students admired
how we put together the scenes in
the right places. Also how we first
put the good parts first; when the
girl is remembering when
everything was good then
suddenly how everything altered.
In a flash when she saw her
boyfriend doing the unthinkable!
20. I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO USE THE
BRUSH EFFECTIVELY IN
PHOTOSHOP TO MAKE THE
IMAGES FIT WELL WITH THE
BACKGROUND AS YOU CAN SEE IN
MY ANCILLARY.
IN ADDITION, I HAVE ALSO
LEARNED ON PHOTOSHOP
HOW TO DUPLICATE THE SAME
IMAGE AND TURN IT AROUND 90
DEGREES!
21. THIS IS MY POSTER
PROMOTING THE SONG WE
CHOSE AS A GROUP (OVER MY
DEAD BODY). THIS APPEALS TO
OUR TARGET AUDIENCE WHICH
IS 16- 25 YEARS OLDS BECAUSE
DEEDEE IS THE NEW
UPCOMING TALENTED ARTIST!
SHE IS TELLING THE AUDIENCE
HER EXPERIENCES AND THE
PAIN SHE’S BEEN THROUGH...
SHE ‘S INFORMING THE
AUDIENCE ABOUT HER
MISTAKES AND HOW THEY CAN
LEARN FROM THEM – IN OVER
MY DEAD BODY.
22. My main task is a sentimental rap song
created by a female rap artist called DEEDEE
, both tasks genre is on rap and represent this
in numerous of ways. Both my ancillary and
main task relate to the ‘male gaze’ in many
ways, aswell as males may find female rap
artists attractive. Some of what the artists
lyrics say may also attract males, because
they might have been through this
experience aswell.
23. From my audience feedback I learned that I
should of used a more friendly image on my
cover, although some agreed with that opinion
others say that the image suited the genre of the
CD because its too sad to be a poster. All of my
target audience agreed that the colour scheme
of plain dull colours worked well and connected
with the main theme of the song in a way as it
showed the dark side of how the artist may be
feeling and going through.
24. I chose to explore the different types of
music booklet that are normally displayed on
the street and how they differ from one
another. I found that artists CD Booklet tend
to have the same image or theme as there
poster. When I produced my own product I
wanted it to be realistic. I wanted it to look
professional as possible so I used the same
themes as my poster so they can be linked.
25. Although I had many ideas
as to what I wanted my
ancillary task to look like I
decided from quite early
on in the project that I
wanted it to be a sad
sentimental cover .
However, my researched
showed that it is rare for
an artist to have a cover
that reflects just one song
on the single.
Nevertheless, I didn't want
to send mix messages so I
stuck with one theme
melancholy and
depression.
26. My main task is a sentimental rap song
created by a talented upcoming female rap
artist called DEEDEE, both tasks are based on
rap and represent this in many ways. In my
opinion all of my tasks follows the typical
conventions of the cultural rap theme where
pain is portrayed.
27. On my ancillary task 2
I got a lot of feedback
some good, some
bad;
however, generally
the audience
members gave mixed
opinions on my
ancillary task.
Negatively, some
people felt it was too
sad and did not make
them happy only sad.
28. We made a variety of changes in the
main task: the scenes in particular we
chose to change the colouring from the
original to both black and white, and
sepia to portray sadness and pain. This
was to separate the difference in the
scenes so that it is clearer for the
audience to identify the alteration.
We also changed the sound scope of the
ending of the video because it just cut
out as soon as it finished, instead it
slowly fades out along with the video
29. I was pleased with what I had
produced in my first draft. Also my
audience feedback was good and
felt there shouldn't be no changes.
Minority of the feedback said they
did not like the images because it
was too dull; however, I disagreed
because it went well with my theme
and it made my poster look good.
30. I was pleased with what I
had produced in my first
draft. Also my audience
feedback was good and felt
there shouldn't be no
changes. Minority of the
feedback said they did not
like the images because it
was too dull; however, I
disagreed because I felt
that if I changed my images
then my whole message
will change and I did not
want that.
31. My tasks were all effective as a combination because
each task promotes each other( all has the same
theme and conveys the same message).
My main task helps to advertise the artist and creates
entertainment for the audience, aswell as enlightens
the audience on everyday life and the situations
couples go through.
The poster and the CD booklet helps to promote the
artist and her work. All my products represent the
target audience because they all tell stories and is
based on relationships and everyday life – for
instance: the male cheating on his girlfriend!
