Focus Group Response

I filmed the response from Caspar Gilham, the musician and actor of my campaign, Toby Dale, an original member of my focus group and Nate Nunn, Laura Playford and Hannah Evans as 3 extra college students for a general opinion.

As Caspar was the musician and actor of my music video, I was very pleased that he was happy with the outcome.
Toby had said in his original interview that he preferred music videos that included heavy metal music and a band he recognised, my music video did not have any of these things, but he said that he thought the effects were quite good.

The Editing Process

The editing process of "Lisbon Air".
I have taken screenshots of myself editing the music video, explained the desicions I made, why I made them, the effects of these desicions, what editing software I used etc.

I used Sony Vegas 9.0 to edit my music video, as opposed to iMovie. This desicion made it easier for me to edit with a software I'm more familiar with, giving me more leeway to be creative with my clips.

Making of... "Lisbon Air"

Put together a short "Making of" video with clips filmed by the producer of the shoot.

Its very short people, I had originally intended for it to be a bit longer with more interviews with the crew members and more of an interview with Caspar Gilham. However, I will put together a Focus Group Interview reaction video when I screen my music video to my original focus group, and film the interviews I have with each of them.

Video has been uploaded to YouTube, link can be found here: Making of "Lisbon Air"

Digipack Initial Ideas






Here are the photoshopped images that are being considered for my CD Cover Digipack that accompanies my Multimedia Music Video and Website. There are also the JPEG images of the Initial Ideas document, including placing the images onto a blank CD Cover to see what it would look like.

Update - 19th March 2011

Just returned from helping Vicky with her filming.

Very, very tired, but really happy how everything turned out.

The location Vicky chose was in a nearby forest in Robertsbridge, due to the sunny weather, all the shots we took were very pretty :)

Since we used my camera to film everything, I will import all the clips onto my memory stick and give Vicky the clips on Monday morning for her to edit.

Good luck to her, hope the music video turns out great :)

Focus Group Interview and Evaluation

This focus group interview helped considerably in deciding what my audience wanted to see from a music video. The focus group itself was diverse in their interests and taste in music, but I managed to come to a conclusion of what was popular with this group and some good points about music videos.
