Final Music Video

My evaluation

In order to make me avaluation 'creative' i have used many photos presenting our work me and my partner have created. The most successful technolog i have used is Slideshare. This has made me display my evaulation in a much more attractive way. I produced it on powerpoint, and then uploaded it to slideshare, this way you dont have to read chunks and chunks of writing, yet it containes information on small slides alongside many images instead of an essay based peice.

This is my media evaluation, I uploaded it using my partners slideshow account
In this slide i am answering questions one to four.

Ancillary tasks

These are our final pieces. 
We have chosen to keep the same theme throughout, so it our artist has a star motif, and a certain style. This way our audience will notice her and her music.







CD digi pack.

Magazine advert

These are some drafts before we chose our final piece.
We chose not to use this, simply for the fact we wanted to keep the typography the same throughout all our products. I edited this photo of alanahs face, and i felt that although it is a creative photo and displays nicely, and we could have the same font and same font colour, it does not look as effective as our final piece above.

Record Label

We chose Evelyn Burke to be signed up b Island Records. We decided on this because after long periods of time researching the company, we knoew Chris Blackwell is a ver welcoming man to new up comming artists, and loves working with people who have different style to their music and themselved.

Thankyou note within the CD Digipak

‘I would personally like to thank Andrew Pav, a very close friend of mine who helped me produce this album,of course I would have to mention my family (cheese I know!) although you can’t get anywhere these days without having help from the ‘rents! Haha. I’ve always been a little rubbish with words so I’m going to leave it as a little personal message to whom ever may buy this or take time out to read crappy thank you messages. Life is about creating your self, so may this inspire you to not follow the foot steps of your friends family or guardians and follow the heart.’


We are including  this within our Digipak,  because its simple and  works well. Its a nice length of text and it says thank you to her audience.

explanation of our stop frame

After spending a long time filming, we chose to switch to stop frame, because our song has a very fast snappy beat, using still images was easier to create a jumpy effect which matches the rythm of the song. Stop frame meant we didnt need transactions, with our filming footage it was hard to match it effectivley keeping a lively beat. Our idea behind having the lamp travelling around using different sockets, was more of a abstract way in representing the idea of cheating, by the lamp using different sources of electricity giving the lamp pleasure in the way it can light up from it, when really the lamp should only have one energy source.

After looking at our video, we decided we used to many images of the lamp, and thought that our audience would become sick of it! So this is another one of our story boards presented like this as it would be unlikely to create so many hand drawings in time for the deadline aswell as making our other posts full of detail!
We have used images of a man and a womans feet heading towards and comming away from a bedroom, suggestive to sexual behaviour. We have also used a laptop screen with words written out on it matching visuals to lyrics. Lastly, we have lots of images of the red hand printed on paper placed around body parts and the bed when the song says 'pull the sheets' matching visuals to lyrics again, going along with Goodwins theory to be successful in our video creation.

After most of our music video being focused on a light lamp travelling around a house, we decided we needed to stick to Goodwins theory, as our title of the song is called 'red hands' suggestive to guilty hands, we decided to create images of a printed red hand placed infront and ontop of different people, suggesting cheating.

Our filming

This is proof to how much we have filmed, but as you can see our footage is too dark or too grainy. Because our niche is lights, we need to use our still cameras in order for the quality to be perfect.
