For my main product I created a Music video for the song " Gym Motivation " By PowerMusclesGym, this song is quiet energetic and makes you feel motivated. In terms of my music video I feel I slightly did reflect this tone within the music video. When it came to producing my Digi Pack and my website i knew I had to combine the Three products and connote the same emotion throughout. So when producing the Digi pack i felt that the overall theme had to represent a kind of energetic feeling similar to the music video so I included abstract flares of light to connote this within the Digi pack.
I felt that this reflected not only the tone of the song but represented the artists it shows that their music is vibrant and also helped my Digi Pack stand out.
When Producing my website I knew I had to keep my other two products in mind my Digi pack and my music video. For the background of my website I used a similar theme to the Digi Pack with the flares of light shinning through, this mirrors the front cover of my Digi pack and the use of the colors. On my homepage i also included 3 small recognisable icons, of Twitter, Facebook and Blogger. Each of these is related to the artist. Blogger is a direct link to my work and I explained why i was making the website. The twitter and facebook are links to my artists and his group This allows user to get access to all the information they could ever need, the purpose then of the website it to both advertise and inform, this is why i felt it was necessary to include the outside links.
Gathering images of the artists was no problem as I personally knew them so I asked for their permission if I could personally take some professional pictures of them to include in my work For me it was crucial to have pictures of the artist because they independent most fans want to get to know the artist as their support is more important simply because they are newcomers and have has less fans than a mainstream artist, this also ties in to synergy, the brand image needs to be carried out throughout each of my productions not just one or there would be no continuity. So this is why i included the pictures within my Digi Pack and my website.
I think by making my homepage simple with a consistent theme throughout is a easy way of navigation, like other websites changing their overall theme when a new album releases, my website does not need to do so as I have kept it consistent all the way through also as the artists music all link together the overall theme reflects all of their songs and the artists.
Overall I think my 3 products compliment each other. The digipak is a means of getting the music out ( and making a little money in the process), I used to show the energetic feel within the Digi Pack.
My music video is used to help promote my artists and promote their song which also in turn promotes the album.
The website was used to inform people who already knew PowerMusclesGym Music and give them access and information about the artist, also to give them a sense of belonging. Adding on this also ties the other two products together by having a page dedicated to my own creation.
Evaluation Q.1
In what ways does your media product use, challenge or develop on forms and conventions of real media products?
My music video the song 'Gym Motivation' develops some of the conventions of a music video. I have decided to do this as i wanted to take a conventional approach with mine, my music video 'Gym motivation' tells a story, a narrative running through it about gym motivation where the characters in the music video come inside weak and useless and at the end of the music video they feel better and with smiles on there faces as the song ends.
Within my music video I used some of these conventions such as live music and lip syncs. I found examples of music videos that used this type of conventions and these conventions show in many music video's in which I looked at and seemed to be a common feature in most music videos.
When producing a music video you have to think about the elements in which you want to include into the music video, this is the foundation of the music video and what you base the whole filming and editing around. In music video there are certain conventions you have to incoperate into the musiv video such as cutting shots to the beat etc. If you do not include these features within the music video then the music video looses a sense of rythm and possibily have no meaning this could lead to the audience in feeling disconnected and not being able to understand it.

Evalutation Q.3
What Have You Learnt From The Audience Feedback
Within my audience feedback I had found that it was successful and many of the students within my class are within the same catergory as my target audience. As part of my project I had given out a questionaire for them to fill in based on my music video also as part of this process we all went around looking at each others production giving constructive feedback on thier music videos.
From what I had received from the class in terms of constructive feedback was both negative and positive, feedback I got back was that some of my shots too short and needed to add more as they had cut very quickly to another shot, this had led me to re shoot some of my shots. However by doing this it had improved my shots by far and the overall quality of my music video.
I also asked my audience if they had ever heard of the artists PMG? ( Power Muscles Gym)
This is the result I got: (Click To Enlarge The Chart Below)
8 out of 10 people did not know of this artist so this put me at an advantage on how to market as an artist.
Another question I asked is did you like the music video and would you change anything ?
Having the audience feeback I found was very helpful, It has allowed me to improve and adjust my product to fit my target audience .
As for my Digi Pack the responses to the question ' Do You Think My Digi Pack was to a high standard' showed that overall the audience feedback was happy with the Digi Pack. Many responses that I had received was that it was to a 'high' or 'good standard'. This has given me a greater sense of confidence as I learnt that I was able to link core themes behind my Digi Pack production and my music production and my audience who both saw that was a link between the two.
