This is the final version of the "Attitude Suspenders" webapge.

Final Cut of Music Video - "Stranger Things Have Happened"

Production Progress - 1st March

After recovering our music video production we had to collaborate fresh ideas as a group to incorporate new ideas to boost the "stranger" factor. Ideas such as leaves falling upwards was put down onto the mind map, a car crash scene to hint to the viewers what our character has gone through, along with a shot of our character staring into the river but his reflection cannot be seen. As soon as we had these fresh ideas down we booked out a camera and filmed the scenes needed to increase our grade.

Final Cut Feedback on Music Video

This was our final showing of our music video where as a group we'd gather feedback for the last time to make it the best we can, hopefully gaining a higher grade with the use of the constructive criticism.

Here is the feedback gathered.

Holding shot steady; "Basic"

• Opening zoom.
• Closing zoom.

Framing a shot; "Basic"

• Pictures on stairway not clear enough.
• Turn monitor shot to over the shoulder.

Appropriate material; "Proficient"

• Good choice of unsettling images.

Selecting mise en scene; "Basic"

• Black paper better for heart monitor shot.
• Make pictures on landing look genuine.

Editing for meaning; "Basic"

• Intercutting after the crash.

Varied shot transitions, caption and other FX; "Proficient"

• Time echo.
• Aeroplane effect.
• Colour saturation.

Use of sound with images/ editing; "Basic & Proficient"

• Make more of the beep in the corridor or change it to screeching car.
• Sound effects - crash, monitor bleep.

Feedback on Ancillary Task: Digipak

After taking the pictures for the digipak ands designing them for our final digipak design (which can be viewed on my blog) our class got together to gather feedback of what we've done so far. Here's the feedback we got on our digipak:

Photographic images; framing, focus, camera angle, lighting, colour, background and mise en scene

• Sharp, well lit and well framed image - the headless model in keeping with the "indie" genre.
• Interesting mix of props - wealth vs. low life brick wall background.
• Strong colour.

Typogropahy and text; choice of fonts, sizing, layout, colour, readibility, language register and content

• Font appropriate
• Size and layout are okay.

Layout decisions; rule of thirds, text positioning, sizing, balance of image and text and focus of attention

• All good - figure and braces succeed in drawing the viewers attentiom.

Genre codes and indicators of audience targetting

• Style and choice of track names suggest an "indie" audience, young male?

Overall impact; what works and what can be improved

• Strong impact from cover.
• Inside faces lack detail - add track lyrics etc...
