Our media products
Here are some print screens of the other blog that we have.. please take a look on the actual blog the pictures are a lot more clearer.
Presentation
This is a separate blog spot that we have made for our media product. On here we have uploaded our media products. i will also upload them to this blog so you can have a look at them.
Audience Theories
Audience Theories
Audience Theories. 'All the worlds a stage, and all the men and all the women are merely players' Some people see media audiences as being easily manipulated. Masses of people can be persuaded to buy products through advertising or to follow corrupt leaders through propaganda.'
The Hypodermic Syringe Theory: 'Media injects ideas, attitudes and beliefs into the audience, who as a powerful mass have no choice but to be influenced.' Our music video has a sensitive subject (domestic violence,) because of this we were thinking of putting an age rating on the video because we thought that people might be directly influenced by it, but after carefully going through the lyrics and discussing it in our group we decided that an age rating would not be needed.
Uses & Gratification: We have thought about the uses and grafitications for our media product and have decided that people will be watching our video for entertainment, escapism and social (to feel sympathy for our character.
Andrew Goodmans Theory: We have decided that our music video is going to contain some visual interpretations for example we are going to include some 'subtle' scenes of domestic violence to match the lyrics, this matches with the Andrew Goodmans theory.

Semiotics And Understanding Images
Encoding And Decoding:
As producers we are expected to encode the text with ideologies and codes and conventions that are appropriate to our genre. As consumers, we have learnt to read (decode) these. In our text we are going to encode it with ideas of domestic abuse and violence. We are going to encode these ideas through camera angles, costume, narrative and body language. This supports McMahon And Quinns study in 1998. They think that texts are encoded by three different forms, these are; technical, symbolic and written.
We will think about using high camera angles when filming the victim and low camera angles when filming the abuser, this will make show the victims vulnerability and the abusers power over the victim. We will show a fist coming towards the victims face and then cut to a shot of her cowering and crying or maybe a blank black screen in between, this avoids any actual violence being seen. The music video will include both narrative and performing shots, like most most music videos do.

Audience Feedback on music video!
Some of the audience feedback that we have gained has been very good.
Some of the points that people have made are that the music video is best in black and white.
Also a couple of people have said that the music video is good but maybe the performing should stay in colour.. and the narrative stay in black and white this would then show that the footage would look like she was looking back in time on how she is living her life.
I personally think that the whole video should stay in black and white, i have made the narrative shots in black and white too but i have made the contrast and the brightness high so it would look slightly different.
Some of the feedback that we gained was the question of why is she in a studio?
the answer is because we tried to make it look like this is a place where she could escape and also let go of any anger that she had. The dance studio was the only place that she could be her self and let out any emotion through dance. We have tried to show this through her dancing and also there is shots of her looking into the mirrors and singing into them. Almost like she is trying to shout at someone but no one is there, so she is shouting to herself at the mirror.
Other feedback was that in parts of the music video some of it isn't in sync. This i do agree with and i will be going back into adobe premiere to solve this problem as we want the whole music video to be at a high standard.
ONE MORE THING
we are going to do a survey, this survey will be filled out by people after they have watched the music video. This is another way that we can gain audience feedback so we can make our product even better!
i will scan the survey in, and upload it to the blog for you to have a look at...
the overall outcome will also be posted once i have all the forms back!

Audience Feedback on music video!
Here is a print screen of some of the feedback that we have gained from adding our music video on to facebook.

I have made a new facebook page to advertise our media product so we can get some strong feedback on how we could maybe change things..
