Presenting our Initial Ideas to our class

To get some audience feedback we needed to pitch our ideas about what we wanted to do with Maisie Mae'ssong. We pitched three different ideas about how the story could flow but as our audience commented in this video they were really similar although our teacher backs us up when he says that because we can only use this one song given to us by the artist and the story that it is within the lyrics its hard to come away from those ideas. He also mentioned how normal the exam board dislike videos being shot in school as too many people do this although this time it would be an exception.

Overal our audience leaned as well as me (who is almost completely off screen the whole time) that pitch 3 was the best idea. We believe that we should take these views and take it with us as we move closer to filming our video.

Inital Ideas

Initial Ideas on Prezi

Making our first green screen

after failing in previous attempts we tried again and managed to make a green screen affect the actual video has no relevance to our topic just to show that we can produce work in this method. This means that when we next decide to Analise something we can use this method.

Letters to students about Music Video

After being sent the list of the students in dance and drama, I now need to send the people on the list a letter informing them of what we are asking them to do and whether they are interested. The following image shows what the letter will look like.

Analysis of websites: Paramore

As the key concept of a website is its useablility the website needs to be clear and easy to navigate. On the paramore website this piece of critirea is met as you can see from the image above the website is structured into different sections so that there is no confusion to the target audience. The strucure consists of boxes where as most other websites do not show the grids used so obviously.
This website however does challenge the concept that the middle of the page is for the main information where as on this website there is only a video and the images with I believe is linked to the bands album cover. Every aspect of this website is split by this grid alothough there is no visible seperations. This makesd the website seem informal and is aimed at more of the younger audience rather than the stuctured rigid formaty that you may see if you were to visit the BBC NEWS website.
In this website the includes factual information about the tour dates and recent news on what is happening with the band at present time. Although this text is not formatted like what you may see in a Broadsheet it still is factual as it is not gossip that you would find in a Tabloid. Although these conventions are met one I cant see is the genre. At a first look there is not much that tells the audience that this website is for a band other than the name and that their is tour dates on the website. This is because there is no real images of the band other than the one on the pause of the video in the center of the page. When comparing this to other band pages this does challenge the codes and conventions of the website layout but it does not increase its poulairty as it has changed the way it shows the genre as it makes it more difficult for the audience to see what the genre is and then what to expect from it.
