The document summarizes audience feedback received on music video and print advertising products created for a fictional band called "The Fears". The feedback was mostly positive, praising elements like the use of stop-motion in the video and the poster's layout. Some criticisms included parts of the stop-motion looking "skippy", too many black screens in the video, and the print product not appearing fully finished. The creators plan to address the criticisms by improving problematic areas based on the audience feedback. The target audience was correctly identified as 16-25 year old males and females.

Print product
Our print product was inspired by three different print products and each slide
we will talk about what we liked about the poster and what we used from it to
our own print product and how we tweaked it a bit to suit our target audience
3. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
With the Mumford & sons print advert we used the idea of all the band being all together and can see what
instruments they are playing . We also like the idea of different media industries leaving quotes about the there
album so we also left quotes on from different media industries about The Fears. What we didn’t really like about
this a print product was that there album is in the bottom left hand side (dead corner) really tiny as well and
thought that audiences wont really pay much a attention to it and thought that the album should catch the
audiences attention and that’s what we did.
4. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
With the 30 Seconds To Mars print product we liked the idea that you can clearly see the album so its easy for
the audience to know what the album looks like and can buy it. Also when the album will be released
publically. Also you can see what record label they are signed too so we made are our record label for The
Fears and put the record label we created on are print product almost in the same place as the 30 Seconds To
Mars. We did like the how it had a feel of a apoplectic look to it however we really couldn’t do it to our print
product because it would have challenged our audience expectations and wouldn’t have suited it.
5. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
Its almost the same story with the Ellie Goulding Print product they have used the album cover to help the
audience to know what the album looks like and they can buy it. It also uses critics reviews of the album
near to the bottom so that it helps the audience know how good it is and can encourage people to buy it.
They also have used image manipulation on the singer Ellie Goulding’s hair to get it more eye-catching and
how the title say’s her name it matches her album cover as it says Lights its in lights.

Here is the front cover of the CD cover. We wanted
to use something new and fresh mostly these days
album covers try and be as eye-catching or odd or
remember-able to get peoples attention or help
them remember what the album looks like. so we
also thought we have to be eye-catching and have
something odd and be remember-able album
cover to get peoples attention some examples of
eye-catching and odd CD covers.
10. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
From our album cover we
wanted it branch into the
print product so we took the
album cover and but it as
the background on our print
product so that fans or the
audience know what the
album looks like and can buy
it as they have seen what
the album looks like due to
the album is in the back
ground and is easily eye-
catching .
11. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
In this shot its a long shot. With this
type of shot we can see everyone and
the background . This will help the
audience see where everyone is and
what they are doing. The reason why
we use this type of shot is let the
audience see the whole band playing
and see where they are playing.
12. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
In this shot we used a
extreme close-up on the
singer to see him sing and
how he sings with his
emotions so that it could be
portrayed to the audience
easily. e.g. Is he sad, angry,
happy, confused etc With
the extreme close up we are
really focused on the singer.
And what he is doing. What
made us do this shot was
due to the music video
below it as we can see its a
extreme close up on him and
can see his emotions and
how he sings.
13. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
In this shot we used a extreme
long shot too get the crowd of
people in the shot and can see
the audience listening to the
music and dancing to it. Our
inspiration of this shot came
from the music video below.
We thought by using this shot
and seeing the crowd and the
band playing live would be
good for the audience as they
can see what the crowd of
people are doing and what the
band as well are doing.
14. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
Here this is the bridge between our music video to our
print product. As we can see the band playing live and
can see them all in the music video and they are
playing live throughout our music video we also have
them on the our print product playing live but are still
obviously because its a print product. But this is the
link between our music video and our print product
and gives us brand identity.
15. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
Opening start of the
music video where it
has the album cover
and name of the track
here is the link between all three media products. With the use
of our album cover that uses this constant theme. We used it in
our music video near to the start as the opening to introduce
the audience to the band with their album cover and what song
they are playing. And the album cover is just as it is. The print
product uses the album cover as background to the poster to
again link all three media products with the use of the album
cover.
16. 2) How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
With our music video we wanted it to have something iconic and remember-able too
the audience so we used the filming technique ‘stop motion’ its effectively have
something still and film it for about 5 seconds then stop recording move the thing or
change it slightly what your filming and then film again for about 5 seconds and
continue this process, this process is very long due to the amount to the slight
changes and you have to film each change you have done and then put them all
together to make one scene and have to make sure that when its going from shot to
shot that it changes smoothly and in order not jumpy or out of order. We used the
filming technique ‘stop motion’ on a number of things in our music video but most
probably the most iconic thing in the music video is the rubix cube scene. Our
inspiration for the use of stop motion as from the popular video off Youtube ‘T-shirt
Wars’ where it uses stop motion throughout the video. We thought that we could
use stop motion in our music video so that it would get the attention of our
audience and something as iconic to the music video it would stay in the audience’s
head.

Rubix cube that T-shirt wars video
we did
18. 3) What have you learned from your
audience feedback?
Our audience feedback was very helpful to us and we decided to listen to what they had to say
about what we have created all ready. However it wasn’t completed and had bits and pieces
missing so some of the narrative and performance was missing from it.
Positive feedback from the audience
Most of our feedback from the audience was positive and they said what we wanted to hear this
means how we have been making are media products have been doing it right for our target
audience.
Video media product
What our audience liked about our video media was good use of stop motion, portraying a love
story, use of live shots, good use of Mise-en-scene, rubix cube is for the right genre (Indie) ,
good use of fades and transitions, good use of lighting, four split screen is clever and looks great,
heart and petals stop motion looks really good, location looks great, conventional to the music
genre, lighting and footage looks great, good contrast between performance and narrative shots
and good selection of footage being used in the media product.
19. 3) What have you learned from your
audience feedback?
What our audience didn't like about our media product
They didn’t like a couple of things about our media product however we are going to listen
to our audience and change the things that they don't like for them
What our audience didn't like about our media product was that some of the stop motion
looks a bit Skippy, too many black screens in the media product, the girl in the wedding
dress scene looks a bit out of place, some of the live footage goes on far too long, some
bits aren’t in sync, isn't much of a storyline, more transitions, some takes go on for too
long, and too many blanks in the music video.
We intend to listen to our audiences feedback and change it for them so that it will
conform to the audiences expectations and will suit the genre better.
20. 3) What have you learned from your
audience feedback?
Our audience had a look at our print product and have also given there feedback about
it. Once again it was mostly positive however there are some negatives to it
Positive feed back from the audience
Continuous use of live shots, high contrast of lighting, brilliant layout , looks really good,
very conventional, brilliant use of colours, pictures are clear, poster looks amazing,
highlights out who are the band members, looks professional, easily noticeable, good
image manipulation, Proxemics of how the pictures are placed are very good.
All these positive feedback from our audience is very good the things that they have
said is what we wanted to hear and genre identification has been easily picked up on
the audience, we are also happy that the use of colours that we have used and that the
audience said that it wasn’t too dark or dull instead they are colourful and bright also
that the poster is easily noticeable which grabs the attention of the audience.
21. 3) What have you learned from your
audience feedback?
Our negative feedback of our print product has been of that it doesn’t look completely
finished, the narrative doesn’t cross over to the print product and add more to the
print product that was all of our negative feedback to the print product
Once again we intend to listen to our audience and alter our print product for our
audience so that it’s then more suited to our audience and conforms for them.
Other comments from our target audience’s was that they really liked the idea of
making a t-shirt and a picture of the album cover they thought that was really good
idea and research for our target audience .
Our audience hit the nail on the head when we asked about the target audience the
range that they said was 16 – 25 year olds for male and female which is what we really
wanted to hear from them the majority of the audience said that the target audience
was 18 – 25 again bang on what we wanted to hear.
