Audience Feedback (Questionnaire)

This is just a draft of what i would ask my first audience of my draft music video when the time comes..

Did you like my music video?
If yes, what did you like about my music video?
If no, what did you dislike about my music video and what would you change?
What Elements within my music video did you notice the most?
What would you Change and/or Improve?
Do you think the narrative goes well with the song?
Do you believe the mise en scene goes well with the song?
Does my music video link with the genre of the song? (hip hop)
Do you think the representation of my characters goes with the genre of the music video?
If no, what representation do you believe would have suited the character better?

(Just a draft version of questions i may ask)

Audience Profiling

I believe my music video will be most suited at teenagers and young adults, therefore i aim my music video at a 16-20 audience. Reason for my decision is that the lyrics within the music video and the music video action itself is a connotation of Drugs and Alcohol and at the ages between 16-20 teenagers are starting to experiment with alcohol and drugs, depending on the person themselves. With the drinking age of the UK being 18, as soon as teenagers turn 18 they are going pubs and clubs with friends, so if i had to pick a age to concentrate on it would be 18 year olds, however i said 16-20 because nowadays people under the age of 18 can access alcohol and drugs fairly easy and the average age of alcohol abuse, drug abuse and pregnant teenagers etc. is lowering. In addition i said up to 20 year olds because this is where students are at university and are clubbing and drinking often, however are growing up. The four year gap between the target market for me is a good range because i believe it is when teenagers start to take notice more into music videos and i also believe it is when young adults start taking less interest in music videos.

To Add, my target audience would be interested in not just alcohol and drugs but music that has a good reoccurring beat towards it, with lyrics with a good narrative. Stereotypically, i feel that the song 'Pursuit of Happiness' By Kid Cudi relates well with people from 16-20 however, the odd older generation may warm to the song.

Filming Schedule (update 27.10.10)

Having looked over my shots from the weekends filming (23rd & 24th October) i have decided that i am going to re-shoot some if not most of my shots this coming weekend.

Looking at the Weather Widget on the right of my Blog page, Saturday's weather looks very promissing to film on, so i have booked a camera and other filming equipment for the weekend. I hope and have to finish filming this weekend with deadline only a few days away.

Label Permission

The only way i could contact the Label of Kid Cudi was via Twitter.

I asked for permission for the song Pursuit of Happiness by Kid Cudi which i shall be using, If allowed, in my music video.

Evidence of filming

 Some Shot's i took whilst filming to show some props and equipment i used. These pictures are from the first few scenes, sadly did not take anymore shots whilst filming. However, More shots of equipment and evidence of editing will be coming soon.

Pure Art

Need i say more?
Kanye West is a incredible creative artist.

And thats a rap!

Today i finished filming, however I'm going to say filming my draft because i feel some tweaks may be needed, so my next plan of action is to do a draft edit of my music video and see how it fits then see where needs improvements and what not.
