Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses the feedback Amazon Rose received from audiences throughout the process of creating a music video. They identified their target audience as fans of indie-pop bands like The Kooks through research and a survey. Using Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the Young and Rubicam model, they determined their audience fits the "Explorer" profile that seeks discovery. Additional surveys and interviews were used to create a detailed audience profile. Rough cuts were screened for feedback, and changes were made based on the feedback. Classmates and teachers also provided feedback during the creative process. Feedback was also received on additional promotional materials.
Evalution question 4
The document discusses the various media technologies used at different stages of creating coursework, including a music video and digipak. At the planning stage, the student used YouTube to research other works, SurveyMonkey for a survey, and WordCloud to analyze survey results. For construction, the student used Final Cut Pro to edit the music video, adjusting colors, brightness, and adding transitions. Photoshop was used to create graphics for the digipak from photos taken, and Microsoft Word was used to layout the digipak. The same technologies of Photoshop and Word were used for the magazine advertisement.
Kes
Ken Loach's 1969 film Kes portrays the harsh realities of working-class life in Northern England through the story of 15-year-old Billy Casper. Using unknown local actors and authentic locations, the film achieves remarkable social realism. Billy, a neglected boy who is bullied at home and school, finds escape and praise through training a wild kestrel. However, his brother kills the bird out of revenge, taking away Billy's hope. The film contrasts the dreary scenes of Billy's life before the kestrel with brighter scenes depicting their bond, showing the positive impact the bird had. Kes provides a gritty depiction of working-class British youth in the 1960s.
Digipak analysis the xx

The consistent and cohesive design creates a sense of synergy and a finished professional product.
Digipaks layout
The document discusses different layout designs for digipaks, including two-way and three-way fold designs. The two-way fold provides one extra panel for imagery or lyrics, while the three-way fold allows for two inside covers and more graphic space. Key areas for graphics include the front cover to catch the viewer's eye, the inside front cover, and panels that fold over the disc. A track list is typically on the back cover. Insert booklets can be used to provide extra imagery, lyrics, or credits if space is limited.
Digipak analysis jack johnson
The front cover of Jack Johnson's "in between dreams" album uses a yellow and black color scheme to reflect the sunny, upbeat acoustic pop music.

A 17-year-old said her age group prefers indie or acoustic pop and finds unsigned bands on YouTube. An 18-year-old attends music festivals and watches talent shows, and prefers performance-based music videos that feel familiar. All three recommended keeping music videos simple and suitable to the song's style.
Human traffic -glorifying drug culture
The document discusses the themes of drugs, alienation, and relationships in the film "Human Traffic". It examines whether the film glorifies drug culture by showing characters taking drugs and experiencing euphoric highs. However, it also notes the film shows the comedown from drugs is not worth it and that drugs can cause paranoia and create false personalities. The document analyzes how the characters become alienated from society through their drug use and how drugs negatively impact their relationships with families and each other by causing arguments and distrust. Some relationships, like those between Nina and Lulu, are portrayed positively.
Updated storyboard with lyrics, transitions, lighting and camera angles
The document provides guidance for filming a music video to match the lyrics and tone of a love song. It suggests using close-up shots and pans to introduce characters at the start of the song. As the lyrics discuss "letting go", it recommends an extreme wide angle. It then provides suggestions for lighting, angles, and transitions to match different parts of the lyrics and build emotion, such as using natural lighting with a low angle shot or crossfades between shots of waves.
Results of Target Audience questionnaire
The survey results showed that 70% of Kooks fans who responded were male. This surprised the author, who initially thought the gender split would be even. Most fans were ages 17-20, reflecting the band's age and audiences relating to similar-aged artists. When asked how they view life, nearly 45% of fans selected "As a voyage and adventure of discovery". Additional questions confirmed fans are primarily "Discoverers", interested in traveling, attending festivals and gigs, and valuing friends above other priorities like status or control. The top music genres of fans were acoustic, indie, rock and folk, and their descriptions of why they like The Kooks used words like "changing, different, new, exciting".
Shot List
This document outlines various shots needed for a film including shots of crashing waves at the beach from different angles and distances, shots of characters at the beach and in the forest, and close-up nature shots of leaves, trees, and forest areas. All shots will be captured using a Sony HDV Handycam 1085i video camera mounted on a tripod. Location shots will take place either at the beach, dependent on weather conditions, or in the Wells Pine Woods forest area.
Shots 14
The document discusses test shots taken at a beach and woodland location being considered for a music video. Shot 1 is an extreme low angle of trees that provides an alternative viewpoint and could work for positive sections of the song. Shot 2 was taken later in the day, creating dramatic shadows that could demonstrate emotion. Shot 3 combines the beach and woodland, providing a mystical atmosphere suitable for fantasy or mystery. Shot 4 frames part of the forest and beach to give a sense of mystery. Shot 5 plays with light patterns and calming colors. Shot 6 is a panorama showing the whole location, including the woods, beach and huts, creating a sense of isolation relating to the song's lyrics.
Music video analysis-
The music video begins with blurred shots setting a mysterious tone as it focuses on hands and feet in nature. It then reveals the band members removing animal masks as they gather tools. Throughout the video, it uses a variety of camera angles like low angled pans, high angled shots, and point of view shots to keep the viewer engaged as the band searches and digs up a mirror. It concludes by showing the band performing amongst the forest and leaves the viewer with an image of the masked band holding smoke canisters to increase their publicity.
Coldplay analysis
The video starts with a dark and mysterious scene of crashing waves at night on an empty beach. A dark figure is revealed walking towards the camera along the beach, which is revealed to be the lead singer of Coldplay. As he sings, addressing the camera and walking alongside it as it tracks backwards, the sky in the background gradually lightens from very dark to sunrise. The video ends with a reverse pan back to the waves, now at sunrise, providing resolution to the journey through the night depicted in the video.
Results
The document summarizes the results of a survey of fans of the band The Kooks. It finds that:
1) The majority of Kooks fans who took the survey were female, surprising the author who initially thought the genders would be split evenly.
2) Most Kooks fans are 17 or younger, with the rest being 18-20, reflecting the age of the band.
3) Kooks fans see life as a voyage of discovery, and are interested in traveling, identifying them as "Discoverers" according to a classification system.
4) Kooks fans' top enjoyed activities - attending festivals, gigs, and traveling - also align with the profile
Artist Profile- The Black keys
The Black Keys perform on stage with the drummer in the center and singer in front, surrounded by lighting focused on the players. Their album artwork consistently features their iconic font with the album name and dark, rustic American imagery. Their website at theblackkeys.com maintains this dark color scheme and font, making it easy to navigate while promoting the band's music.
