Evaluation

Here is some evaluation questions i have answered after creating my storyboard and interviewing my focus groups.

Peer feedback of storyboards

Storyboard feedback from peers

Questions	Peer Answers
What did you like about my storyboard?	·         Great ideas! ·         Links to lyrics well, liked the use of filters ·         Clear narrative that matches lyrics ·         Range of ideas used
Do you feel the images flowed with the music?	·         The cuts weren't correct buy I understand that is was a technical error ·         Could define between concept and performance parts ·         Flows well throughout
Did the video ideas link with the lyrics of the song?	·         Yes great representations ·         Yes good links
Do you the filters I used were effective? Why?	·          Yes, it will be clearer when you film it ·         Gives more of a picture of the video
Is there anything you think I could improve on?	·         The fire for the chorus might be difficult to create? ·         Speed up image transitions ·         More range of clips ·         Add lighting/different camera shots

My teacher also mentioned to all that we need to add a range of different shots to our storyboards, as at the moment they look as if the video will be short from just one angle. For my video, I hope to use a range of shots, e.g. birds eye view to show vulnerability; close up shots of the female throughout to show sadness and I hope to get the actors to hold the camera at some points so that their feelings are put across more in the video.

Filming Timetable

This timetable highlights all the key aspects to filming the scenes of my music video. It detailed what I need to film, where and what props and costumes will be needed for that scene. I have added my scenes to this timetable, but I might need to add more so will add these to the timetable accordingly.

Location/Props/Costume shots

I have created a collage of images to show the different locations, props and costumes that will feature In my music video. This has helped me to visualise the video more, and from this I have added a few more ideas that I think will help me to improve my video further.

Letter to Record Label

This is a letter i composed to the recod label that Rihanna is signed to, Def Jam Records to ask for permission to use a Rihanna song to create my music video for my coursework.

Storyboard Video

I have created a short video using my storyboard images on Movie Maker. I have also added my song and tried to cut the images so that they run in time with the music. This also highlights how long each scene will last for. I have also managed to add effects over my images, so for example the scenes I hope to edit to black and white have a black and white filter over them. I have also played with the brightness on some images to show I wish to film in daylight.
