Extended Project Evaluation AO4 (Evaluating the project)
The document discusses the evaluation of an extended project. It summarizes the time management techniques used, difficulties experienced with software and meeting deadlines, thoroughness of research conducted, how the final outcome differed from initial intentions, skills developed, and audience feedback. Key points include poor time management, software issues causing delays, research could have been more thorough by including more primary sources, and the final outcome was improved from initial ideas through an iterative design process. Feedback was generally positive but indicated some aspects like colors and images could be improved. Reflection on the experience will inform doing the project differently in the future, such as improved time management and more primary research.

Music videos audience survey
A survey was conducted about music videos and their effectiveness as a promotional tool. The following key points were found:
- Pop music and R&B were the most popular genres among respondents. Combining a pop song with another popular genre like indie could appeal to both mainstream and niche audiences.
- The majority of respondents said they prefer to see the artist in the video so they can better connect the video to the song and artist. However, some artists use other actors which can tell a story but risks not promoting the artist for a new, unknown artist.
- Most respondents said they enjoy videos that have a storyline to help understand the song's lyrics. Narratives also make videos more interesting.
Film Industry: New/ Digital Technology Issues
New digital technologies are impacting all stages of film production, distribution, marketing and exhibition. This includes using CGI for set creation and visual effects, non-linear editing, and harnessing both traditional and digital filming technologies. Distribution is evolving with vertical and horizontal integration across different platforms like theatrical, DVD, and online. Marketing utilizes viral strategies, 360 degree campaigns, and interactive websites. Exhibition is expanding through digital cinema, streaming, and portable converged devices. Audiences now have more control and choice in their film experiences.
Carol Vernallis- Functions and meanings of music video editing
Carol Vernallis theorizes about the functions and meanings of editing in music videos. She discusses four main categories: camera work, editing, narrative, and diegesis. Regarding camera work, she notes that music videos commonly use close-ups of artists and establishing shots of locations. Editing in music videos often breaks continuity rules by changing clothes and settings between shots. The diegesis or world of the video is sometimes revealed gradually, leaving the narrative open-ended and uncompleted to engage viewers.

BBFC Regulation Of Music Videos
The BBFC regulates music video content in the UK by assigning age ratings of 12, 15, or 18 based on factors like drug use, dangerous behavior, sexual content, violence, and language. They partner with YouTube and Vevo to apply these ratings to music videos online. The goal is to help parents control what their children are exposed to. An example given is Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax" video from 1984, which was controversial for its sexual imagery and banned by the BBC and MTV at the time, though the banning backfired by increasing its popularity.
