Feedback for Peers Websites

Below is the feedback i gave the other groups for there website first drafts.

Tori Lorent
The image is really clear and sharp and the setup looks extremely professional with the navigation bar at the top.
I think it would look more professional if there wasn’t a personal quote on the home page and maybe if there was a description about the website and the artist.
Try to use a higher variety of images in the gallery. There is 4 in the same location.
Change URL.
Overall a really elegent website.

First thoughts aren't great. You have some really nice photos on the home page however the slide show is way too fast and the images are all different sizes. It makes my eyes hurt. The slideshow will work better if it is a lot slower.
Entrance to website isn’t obvious. Didn’t even see the link in the corner.
On entrance to the website the layout is quite chaotic however the images and text complement each other nicely.
The layout of the gallery needs improving. They're all different sizes and are not coherent.
Overall, it's just a little work on layout and it will be really good!

The tiled background is an eye sore. The boxes are a good idea however they start halfway down the home page so should be adjusted.
I really like the navigation bar at the top with the logo.
Overall, change the background and sort out the layout. Has potential though!

Sempa
There is a big pace on the home page. I scrolled down and was very confused.
Create a box to put the text in. The images are poor as well.
Lots of unfinished pages.

Ivory
Brilliant modern looking opening image.
The text is quite hard to read at the bottom of the home page.
The amazon, itunes, google boxes are all different sizes and different size spaces apart from each other.
The title on the news page is too far to the left.
Overall, the layout is lovely and detail of text is fabulous.

Heidi
I don't like the home page image. Heidi is out of focus which isn’t great as she should be the focal point.
Bio has a good amount of information.
The photos move too slowly and you can speed them up of skip pictures.
I don't like the blog style layout. I prefer seperate pages.
Love the title at the top and the nav bar.
Overall, think about the images you use.
7

MYA
I like the funky transition as you scroll.
Home page is nice. You might want to think about giving a bit of information about the artist.
On the about me part. You could do it in third person as it might look more professional.
I prefer the separate pages rather than the blog style layout. But i guess that is just personal preference.

Avenue
3 very similar sections.
They arent hi res images. Learn what hi res means
Some useless boxes. Go to contact.

St. Dizier
The navigation bar is too small, the words are too small.
The latest news is really cool.
I love how the text is organised so it looks hand written.
The layout is really good. I like the separate pages rather than the blog style.

Feedback for Peer Video First Drafts

Below is the feedback i gave other groups for the first draft of there music videos.

Tori Lorente
I liked the opening with the lights i thought that the duplications matched to the beat well giving a good effect. The locations you have used are slightly boring and not iconic. At Hylands House you had a giant house to sing in front of but you used one of the pillars to stand against instead. There is also a leave colour effect in this part which seems pretty useless in combination with the rest of the video. Overall i would say to improve the video think of why you are doing things and what they bring to the video.

Sempa
I like the overall feel of the video. The black flashes seem slightly overuse and loose there impact as it continues throughout the song. I wouldn't reuse the same clip in the chorus although it looks really cool. Either make a new clip with the drawings of try something else.

Annika
The video is shot really nicely with a fluent combination of shots. I really liked the shots of the trumpet with the low angle shots giving it power. The only improvements would probably be to see if you can add any short narrative parts to line up with the lyrics.

AVA
I really liked the theme of being young and going out and about to fairs and baking with your sister etc. The video didn't flow well for me and some of the lip syncing was poorly used. To improve i would suggest you have a separate darker location of the singer to do the lip syncing and all the rest with the fun shots cut away from the main performance. I think this will give the video a nostalgic feel.

Iuris
Really cool song, obviously not completed taking into account there are all black parts. I really like how you have some of the leave colour as a main theme in your video its quite impactive and poignant. To improve the video i would try and find a better more impactive shot to find when the drop comes in because it seems kind of wasted at the moment.

Ivory
This video is stunning so far. I really like the idea of the singer over time getting crazier and i really like the idea. To improve i would probably find some good editing to match up to the beat of the song possibly like an opacity drop could be effective. Overall, not a lot to improve, really good video.

Luella
I like the idea you have with the narrative. I think domestic violence is a good topic to take and it works well with the song. To improve i would suggest that you are more creative with camera angles and think about who is being represented in each shot. The audience positioning is important because it displays the emotions they should have for each character. Better editing could be used to make it feel more like a music video rather than a short story. I would suggest try to do more cuts to make it snappier when the girl is packing her things to leave. This will make her seem in more of a rush as her abusive boyfriend is on the way home.

Feedback for Peers Digi Pack

Below is the feedback i gave to other groups on their Digipaks.

Tori Lorente
At first glance it is clear that the images have been stretched so i would try to crop these images. Really like that bottom right image. Obviously far from completed with bourders etc.
3

Sempa
I really like the look of the images. The effects look great and really work for the artist. I feel as though the bottom right image is too clean and should follow the trend of having effects on it.
8

Heidi
I like the polaroid images in the top right and the colours really work well for the artist. The boarders are way too big unfortunately and look slightly bland because they are just plain colours.
8

Annika
They are nice images however i do not like the font of the song names. Theres not a lot else i can say as it is not completed.
5

AVA
I really like the collage of the logos. The idea of the song titles on the note pad is really cool. It isn't completed and the duplication images look quite unprofessional, which could work for your artist.
4

Iuris
I like the little pictures and the box idea. It might look better if the boxes were square however this might take away some of the image quality.
9

Ivory
Well selected images of Tilly which work well for the artist. The images are all the wrong size as they're not square. The bottom left image of the trees doesn't link well with the rest of the digipack.
7

Luella
The images are all really nice and i like the warm feel it has. If i were to change anything it would be the font of the text.

Teacher Feedback on DigiPack 1st Draft

Below is the feedback from Mrs Field and Mrs Brookes on my groups digipack (1st Draft).

The smoke bomb collage is ugly and doesn't synergies with the three images above and it distracts from the nice images on the front and back cover of the digipack.
The fonts need to be the same on the back and the front covers.
Find another picture of Olly where he doesn't look so "zoned out"

So what i am going to do is assess what we can do to still incorporate the smoke within the digipack for synergy from the video but in a way that makes it look more like smoke and not a "little chef table" or a "hospital gown" in the collage state that it is currently in.

Also for the text i want to make the word appear as if from an old label maker to mix in the vintage vibe that comes along with the modern sounds of the band.

Music Video 1st Draft Feedback

Below is the feedback from our class, teachers and an ex student who is now a music video director.

Avenue first draft: love the way the background is out of focus at the start and at 40 seconds when there’s blurry grass in the foreground! good quality footage makes a big difference! the ending is great, it really builds up into that finale. when the words appear, i think it might look better if they were in the same split box effect with the black border as 2:36 and 2:40 instead of just overlaid? I feel like when the words come up at an angle it looks a bit unprofessional and less bold than if it was in the same effect as the other clips or even if it was just all bold across the centre of the shot like “head” and “paint”. really fun to watch! really original!

Avenue:

This is just awesome. So many clever little setups, expertly performed - genuinely funny (which is probably the hardest thing to pull off). Some great camera work, love the roundabout idea. The whole smoke bomb sequence onwards is bloody genius, the smoke matching the ties, the split screen and the cheeky end shot in the media labs. Top bloody marks!

Avenue: We got full top mark ticks from this student. Also the student said editing is amazing and is simple but makes the video. End shot needs improving.

Avenue: We got top mark ticks. Level four they stated. Also again they said end shot is needed to be changed and one or twos shots throughout.

Avenue: Top mark ticks, level 4, Amazing.

Avenue: They said Monday Morning isn't a good name for our video. They liked the walking shots. They didn't like the subway background as it looked grimy. Also close-ups looked excellent. The split screen they were torn on.

Avenue: The unfocused shot on the first scene needs to be corrected. Low angle shots were not in time. Walk through forest needed to be sped up. They also said they were a bit dull. JK jumped a little higher after smoke bomb scene.

Avenue: Good video and holds enough interest throughout.

Avenue: just change ending.

Avenue: 1st alley shot is not good quality, level 4. 'Mad effects' and fluent theme.

Avenue: Out of focus first shot. The editing they liked. Don't like the subway shot. Don't understand walking through forest shot. They liked the colours of the playground and the theme red, green and blue. Don't like the drama studio shots. Don't like the ending shot. Could have birds eye view shot.

Avenue: Love every part. little out of sync in science room.

Avenue: Change colour of Olly's tie.

Avenue: Love the colour theme. The idea of the photo shot transition just needs reshooting.

Avenue: Don't like montage of shots together. i love all other shots especially powder paint.

Avenue: Don't get walking through forest. Camera shakes sometimes. 37/40

Avenue: Don't like parts with words.

Avenue: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. the forest scene doesn't fit. The unfocused first shot looks out of place.

Avenue: Pretty flawless. Camera does shake on occasions and a couple shots loom a bit false/out of place.

Avenue: Like correlation with paint and lyrics. Transitions are cool. Favourite is 360 degree shot. Some shots unsteady, not sure about text over faces.

Avenue: This is so good. The colours are really vibrant and is enjoyable. The beginning shot goes out of focus and at times the camera shakes and moves too quickly.

Digipack (1st Draft) Feedback from Peers

Below is the feedback from my class on the first draft of the digipack...


Avenue – the images of all the band at the top looks really good with the text over their faces. The background for the bottom images looks good and works with the bands image. 8

Avenue· Like the colour clouds
· Don’t understand the CD
· Coloured hands on faces look good
· Don’t get the song name
· Don’t get all the writing over the faces
Avenue
The front cover is appealing straight away and the photo is really good. I don’t think the powder background really matches the digipack. The text on the back with the songs is a bit difficult to see and the font doesn’t really match the other font on there. The writing across their faces are cool but it means you can’t see the faces of the artists but the colours look good with the black and white. There is not much consistency with the colour scheme. I don’t think the spines match either. really nice as it is bright and eye catching. Although along with it being unfinished, on the back cover he titles of the songs can be a bit difficult to read, and maybe need to be made bolder.
2/10
Avenue
I like the idea that you have with the smoke that goes around the edges. I also like the vibrancy and brightness that you have throughout the photos.
To improve the Digipack though I would make the top of Digipack match the bottom better meaning it isn’t as consistent as it could be. Also where the lyrics go over the top of the spines you can’t see part of the words, so maybe change the background images. 7/10
Avenue
Really like the images, looks highly professional. It is very confusing for the eyes, as there is a lot going on – but is that to match with the music video? I like how each artist represents a different colour, however I don’t like the blue and pink background, as I think it looks a bit random. Overall, however, looks very good and professional. (Level 3)

Avenue
I like the top three pictures where it is the boys where the lyrics cover their faces as I like the black and white and then the pop of colour on their faces. I think there is a big difference between the top row of photos and the bottom row of faces and it looks quite messy. I like the front cover but personally don’t really like the background you have used on the bottom row of photos. I think the text on the list of songs on the album should maybe be in a bolder colour so that it stands out more. I think the colour of the cd which is grey doesn’t go with the theme of the digipack or the yellow writing on the CD. The yellow writing on the CD should maybe be changed to either red, blue or green so that it matches with the rest of the digipack.

AVENUE – Really like the 3 pictures of the guys in top however it makes it confusing with all the writing over their faces. Other than that I think it is really great as it highlights their synergy and how the guys are really like. LEVEL 3
Avenue
The 3 photos of the band are effective because it means we instantly know that they are ‘all together as one’. Furthermore, the image in the bottom corner is humours which portrays the bands image effectively. However, I feel the font on the front cover of the digipack could be massively improved and really undermines the creativity.

Avenue- I love this digipak, it all matches well and the colours blend well with each other. To improve the CD could have a bit more design on it.

Avenue:
Needs arranging properly but the design is good however the picture for the back cover needs moving. 7

Halfway Evaluation Feedback

Everyone gave back information and feedback on which parts and aspects of our video we could improve on.
Video - Many people liked our video and said there wasn't much we could do. someone said the shots were a bit similar and we should try and vary this is the rest of the filming. Everyone said they would watch our video again. Also the outfits we have used people liked the look of and the image we have created. The use of the colours in the background and the atmosphere we have made people really enjoyed. furthermore people said the shots were very good persistently and photos we have are good to use. Lastly, one said that there were too many shots in the drama studio.

Digi pack - Our digi pack was not completed at this stage so we had a lot of feedback about what we could do and improve upon our digi pack. We have idea that we presented and people agreed with the ideas we had. The logo we put on people liked and was effective. 

Website - The photos we used in the website everyone liked and the colours made the page pop. The links we had were hard to read so quite a few people said to change the writing to make them clear for everyone. 

Brand image - The group liked the friendly happy vibe we created in our work. Also the group liked how we carried this out through all our platforms. One said we needed to stop swearing. Finally people said again that they liked our suits. 

Everyone but said they would view our video again.

Song Pitch Feedback

Pressure This first song is by Tensnake. Its duration is 2 minutes 54 seconds. The feedback we got from this song was very positive. Everyone enjoyed listening to the song when we played it. Everyone started to dance and move with the beat. We were singing alone as we knew the words. The class said the song was different to any other groups choice. Also it as different compared to other music videos we had already seen. The group said it should be colourful and happy. A lot of dancing about. Our teacher said we should look at 70s videos and maybe base our idea around this. Maybe involve us in suits and older style clothing and props. Not edgy though.

Limits Lie
This song is by Jamie T. It duration is 4 minutes and 11 seconds. Everyone again liked this song choice and thought we could make a good video out of it. The song is a lot slower and less happy than pressure. Secondly people said it would of got boring later on in the video as the tempo stays the same throughout the video. People still said the song would of matched our actor by doing many close ups of lip syncing. This  would of looked good. However everyone still had the first song in mind while listening to this one as it is catchy and happy an they enjoyed it more. This song would of been a bit more edgy. More ideas where darker shots with close ups. Also a story being told and cut to in-between the shots of the artist lip syncing. At this stage people where certain we was going to do pressure as the majority preferred that

 
 
He is the same
This song is by John Bellion. The duration of the song is 4 minutes and 1 second. The artist is America therefore you can tell this in the lip syncing and the locations we would shoot wouldn't look like was in America and would look very English. Also the lip syncing may of not matched. This song is up beat again and the feedback we got was positive again. Everyone liked each of our choices. This was different again to the other two we had decided. The ideas put forward was a sound board being played with in time with the beats a the start having a dark room with the sound board lighting up and then a silhouette of a hand moving about the board. Also it sounded quite futuristic. Also a split screen when the artists voice is being used for more than one of the sounds. Finally it has swearing involved which the teacher didn't agree with. However we had to decide in the end and everyone was still telling us to do pressure.
