Evaluation questions;



1) What did you find the most challenging and why?

In terms of the most challenging things I think the time scale was challenging to stick and work to, I also think that due to being the actress in the film as well it was difficult to manage and be organised at all times. I think that the work overall was difficult to keep onto of as well as other work but I think it’s helped to open up our groups eyes to the work we will have ahead. I think that it will be a lot of work and a lot of time and skill will be needed and that was difficult in such a short time as well as 


2) What will you do differently when you make your A2 product next year?
I think that next year I will create a schedule in which will help to keep myself in track and help to stick to a timescale. I think that when it comes to A2 next year I will try my best to research into conventions and view various videos for inspiration and guidance for my final product.

3) How has doing this task helped you and why? What have you taken away from this 
experience?
I believe that this task has enabled me to understand the various shot types a lot better than I did when I did my As magazine task. I think that creating a magazine cover to advertise the final product helped as it enabled me to keep on top of my Photoshop skills developing from using simple tools such as paint brush, croping tool and eraser to using airbrush, liquify and layering.

4) How successful was your product? Why do you think it was successful or unsuccessful?
I think that the final product in terms of recreation of costume and location was quiet good considering we had great difficulty as a group with time management, I think the magazine was good along with our digipack.
However even though our location was quiet good, I don't think it was perfect and was unsuccessful due to certain items such as vans been in the background unlike that of the original video. 


5) How do you feel about developing to A2 level now you have completed this task?

I feel that when developing into A2 I have bit of a head start into understanding what is expected, however I believe that i need to understand time management and I think that I will need to practice some shots and editing skills. I think that by creating my chosen brief on a miniature scale its helped out massively in order to give me better understanding in how to lay out my next base of coursework.

6) What do you like most/least about your final product?
The thing that I most dislike about my final product is probably the locations we used in shots, some of the locations I believe could have been chosen better, I think that some of the shots are also not greatly similar to that of the original product. Also finally when some of the shots where edited to the lyrics the lip syncing isn't perfect, which hopefully will improve during A2.

Our Music Video ; Jasmine Villegas- Crew Love


Promo Magazine Cover ; For Jasmine Villegas- Crew Love.


I decided to create a magazine cover to promote our Jasmine Villegas ; Crew Love Album.
I decided to use We Love Pop as our industry as they are of the genre in which Jasmines Music is placed. I researched different We Love Pop magazines and added the different stories.

A Magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD Package)






Lauren created this Magazine Front Cover as part of the promotional package for our recreational music video. The star-ratings follow conventions of when a new CD/ALBUM/SINGLE is released. It also has uses of social media promotional techniques.

CD/ALBUM Digipak for 'Crew Love ft. JDrew'


This is a recreation cover for Jasmine Villegas' 'Crew Love ft. JDrew' in a form of a digipak (CD/ALBUM package)
I made this pack so that the main feature of the album was based around the song we are recreating in our music video. Therefore, when people buy this single, they automatically get the full album free as a promotional technique as she is an indie artist.



This is our interpretation of what Jasmine Villegas' single cover would look like for our recreational music video.



This would be inserted inside of the album as a thank-you note and promotional selling technique for all of her fan-base. It also follows conventions of other CD/ALBUM covers.



This would be on the side of the CD/ALBUM and would act as the spine - also promoting the new singe that is being released.


The back of an CD/ALBUM conventionally does not include the artist but another scene all together - mainly colours that coincide with the front cover of the album.

Health and Safety ; Guidelines for filming ; For Jasmine V & JDrew "Crew Love" Cover

When studying our chosen video "Jasmine V & JDrew "Crew Love" Cover" we have discussed the different aspects of Health and Safety such as;

  1. Checking that anyone whom is involved isn't allergic to any make-up products used on them.
  2. We must ensure that we take the general public into consideration; as this is being filmed mainly in the Hull City Center. This means that there are a lot of people around, We must ensure that our Cast are fully safe and aware of their surroundings as well as the publics.
  3. Within our chosen Music Video there is a car involved so there is a risk of an accident, we must ensure that we are all road safety aware and ensure we take precautions when on or filming next to the road.
  4. We may also come across unpleasant people whom may try and steal from us such as our camera; we must ensure to stay safe and if it came to it then we must hand over the camera.
  5. We must take into consideration the weather as this could mess up our chosen days to film. Such as if it rains it will be to hard to film and rain isn't part of our mise-en-scene. Also if its hot we must consider sun protection and this may effect our lighting.

Preparation for Jasmine V & JDrew "Crew Love" Cover

In terms of preparation as a group we need to arrange a set days which we are all free since our filming is of college site and in town it makes it a lot more difficult to find arrangements when we are free and able to get to our locations.

We have found that we need a pre-preparation for make-up and costume due to jasmines hair being curled in the video.

We also have decided to list and look at the health and safety precautions which we should take.

Full Lyrics to ;Jasmine V & JDrew "Crew Love" Cover


                                                       

                                                      Yeah, yeah, oh
                                            Yeah, yeah, uh oh, yeah, yeah

Take your hand out my wallet
Boy you really need to stop this
Cause you ain't getting nothing
Whatchu hassling me for?
This ain't no damn charity
So move your hand away from me
It's cause we're blowing like a C4
Got my whole team blowing like a C4

Baby, who you think you're fooling
Tryna run game when I be coaching
Boy you need to stop with all that big talk
When you're just all talk and you're freeloadin'
Brain so poison, ego growin'
Tryna take it all from me but I notice
A first class drag when I swag, I notice
I'll just keep em outside 'cause boy you blew this

Why?
Cause they want what I got
They want what I got
They want what I got
They want what I got
They want what I got
They want what I got
They want what I got
They want what I got, yeah

Yeah, working hard so I tweet hardly
I let the words speak for itself then I party
You got me blowing hookha and oh
Just to kick back and sit back
Keep drinking my cup in your zone
Aw... my crew knows what I'm talking about
I'm with college boys, wish what they was about
And it's the fact that I never brag
They gave me the credibility needed instead of swag
And most of you rap sag deserve every damn award
The honest people who act
Tweeting like you do something but nothing to show for it
And get all the love like you deserve it
But never even worked for it
Radicals that tryna sh*t on people names
Call it jealousy, envy, insecurity
Out the cage, okay
You're the example of faking until you make it
If the bullsh*t don't catch up then karma gon' have a way with you

Baby, who you think you're fooling
Tryna run game when I be coaching
Boy you need to stop with all that big talk
When you're just all talk and you're freeloadin'
Brain so poison, ego growin'
Tryna take it all from me but I notice
A first class drag when I swag, I notice
I'll just keep em outside 'cause boy you blew this

Why?
Cause they want what I got
They want what I got
They want what I got
