Ancillary task with feedback comments
My feedback i received was generally in the grade boundaries of level 2 and level 3 as i received one comment in level 1 which was Manipulating photographs as appropriate, including cropping and resizing. This comment read 'speech bubble missing outline. Images aren't photo-shopped very well and can clearly see the cut off on the inside CD cover. This feedback is extremely accurate and will allow me to improve my digipack further to create a more professional and well finished product. The rest of my feedback was mainly good with only small aspects letting me down from being in level 4. I achieved a level four for awareness of the need for variety in fonts and text size my feedback for this section wrote 'all font sizes are used well and are easily readable'. My other level four grade was for accurate use of language and register, for this my comment read 'language is very proficient and well used'.
To conclude, I believe the feedback i received from my peers has been very helpful and help me notice the finer details that i have missed in order for me to improve them aspects to make a high grade production of the quality in which i can achieve

Focus group comments on rough cut
Focus group comments
I received a few detailed comments from my class as they watched the rough cut of my production. the positives i received were "very funny", "comedy was well done", "convincing lip syncing" and would appeal to target audience. This was excellent feedback and made me feel achieved with the work i had done as one of my main aims for the production was to make the humor appeal to the student age range and as they laughed during the screening i could tell they appreciated the humor. The comments which were picked out to help improve my production further were "shadow of the camera in final shot", "some lip syncing was slightly out" and "tripod in view in two shots, intentional?". This also was very good observations and feedback as i can now address these issues to becoming one step closer to making a better production. A few things i picked up on while watching my rough cut were the performer misses the first word of the song, tripod appears in shot twice and the camera shadow in the last shot is extremely obvious. I will address these issues by trying to edit them to make them unnoticeable or i will re shoot that footage so it does not have these mistakes.

Shot Count Bruno Mars Lazy Song
Although the shot count for this song is just one there are variety of hots of the artist and the dancers because they physically move themselves towards and away from the camera which just stays in the same spot. However i believe the main shot used throughout is a long shot as you can see most of the artist throughout the video. There is lots of representation throughout the video the most obvious one is the shot count the song is called lazy song so wit their being only one shot throughout the video this represents the laid-back mood of the song.

Lip Sync - Teenage Dirtbag
We started by choosing who we wanted as performers we then asked if the performers could lip sync and perform some form of expressions that would express different parts of the song. After we shot all of the footage we then began to edit the footage and merge the song into the footage. We did so by matching the sound waves from the audio track to the footage we found the easiest way of doing this was inserting markers on the same sound from the audio and matching them up in final cut to produce the finished product.

Music Video Analysis
In this blog i will be explaining in depth the different theories behind analyzing a music video and how these theories are put into practice.
The first theory i will discuss is the theory of illustration. Illustration is where there is a direct link between an action and a lyric. In the music video of Afrojack ft Eva Simons - Take Over Control there is a clip where Eva Simons says plug it in and at that moment a character is placing a plug into her back. This is direct link between the lyrics and the video this is also present in the next line of the song as Eva Simons the says 'turn me on' there is then a spark going from the plug to Eva she then begins to dance. However the lyrics of 'plug it in and turn me on' could also have a sexual reference which is one of the conventions of this genre but in the video they have decided to portray this in a non sexual way.
