Review of media product
What have we learnt from feedback:
The lip syncing is to a good quality but there is not enough of it or it is not obvious enough.
The video was enjoyable to watch and some found it humorous which was partly intentional.
We used a good variety of shots and camera angles this means that the film had a more professional look.
When edited I created the final edit but this was then rearranged into a more awkward sequence, so this is not the best this cut could have been.
How did we use media technology:
When doing the research we mainly used the internet to look at past releases and therefore work out what aspects proffesionals use in there edits, this enabled us to make our product look as close to theirs as possible. The internet also enabled us to see what advertising tactics that companies were using and then modify and adapt it to our product. When filming we used standard quality camcorders which means that the quality of the footage was never going to be amazing but its all we had. The editing software used was Adobe final cut pro this is a widely used and very high quality editing software and has been used in many feature length films. I have been learning to use this programe for a while now and it is becoming easier and easier to use as you learn the little tips and tricks for making the edits flow smoother and look more proffesional.
What have we learnt that we plan to use again:
The first new skill we have learnt is lip syncing this is obviously needed for this task.

How effective is the combination and your main product and ancillary texts?
the combination between the two is a very successful combination. this is because their are photo of the artist on both the advert and the DVD cover. this is because it helps the audience recognise the artist quicker and helps encourage them to buy the product. The eye catching imagery and font also helps the promotion of this video as the audience will stop to read the advert then hopefully proceed to buying the product that has a cover to match the advert to ensure that the audience knows which product to purchase.
in what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
one way in which we do this is the usage of different locations like what happens in the real video. this makes the video a lot more realistic and enjoyable as it can be seen as a successful video cover. also the movement the actor has is very similar to the movement that is being shown in the real plan b she said video.
Magazine Advert: She Said
Whilst creating the advert I had to keep the theme in mind using black and white and the same font, this means that the audience will be able to associate with the album cover from the advert and are more likely to remember and therefore pick up the album. Again the theme has worked well as it is simple and keeps things straight to the point. The modern looking font is to keep the feel of the media up to date and relevant.
Advert- She said
one thing when creating an advert it is important to make it eye catching and attractive to the viewer. for example, we are using a black background with white writing so it stands out. its also important to have some big font in their to also make sure it jumps out at the readers and so they can also see what is being said. say when the product is out this may include an actual release date or may just state "out now". images must also be used to make sure the audience does not get board when reading it.
