Rough cut of Music Video
When we presented are rough cuts of our music video to the class the feedback we received was that the pace of our video was good, and they liked the idea of our rewind when the girls are in the park.
Music Video
Our magazine advertisement was based on the conventions of an RnB advert, we looked at different ways in which Beyonce advertises her albums and from the different albums we looked at, we took the ideas of having the name of the artist in big, bold, black letters in order for it to stand out and in little, italic letters we had the name of the song, the reason for this was because in actual RnB adverts they usually have the artist name in bold to stand out for the audience to see clearly who the artist is.
We also had the release date of the album in big, black bold letters so are audience can know when the album is to be released. The reason for that is because the whole point of the advert is to inform the audience when the album will be out, so having that in bold it will immediately stand out and they will know straight away.
In the different magazine adverts that we looked up, we realised that a lot of them have some kind of critics information. So we decided to add what some critics thought about the album, in order for the audience to know how well it is and if it is worth buying. We had the stars in black because, we wanted them to stand out and went with the colour of the advert. Also because every single magazine advert we looked at had all the stars in black and this is usually the colour of the stars in the music industry.
We decided to have the main singer in the background because after researching a lot of Beyonce's and other RnB singer's magazine adverts we realised that they usually have the main singer posing on the album, this is one of the most common conventions of a magazine advert in the genre of RnB.
The colour of the background was that colour because, we wanted to go with the natural, dreamy theme of our music video. But also after looking at many more magazine adverts we decided to do it that colour because most RnB adverts are quite colourful but also simple. We may also change it and mess around with the colour more when it comes to making the advert as this is not the final decision.

They also liked the close up of the leaves as it showed different shot types. The class enjoy the bit in the beginning when the two girls turn around together, but they thought we could have followed this through when they walked off as they didn’t really walk off at the same pace.
However, we did receive some negative feedback was that their was a lot of long gaps in our work, but the reason behind that was because we hadn't finish filming all the scenes. This made the narrative unclear for them to understand.

Digipak Feedback
When Presenting our Digipak idea to the class we were given positive and constructive feedback. The positive feedback we received was that our idea fit with the conventions of an RnB album cover, they also liked the colours we used as they said they were quite natural which goes with the theme of our music video as it is quite a dreamy video. They said that our ideas showed we did research on what an RnB album covers look like.
Our constructive feedback we collected was that are title was too hidden, as they weren't sure whether it was a good idea or not and left them feeling a bit uncertain about it. But in our defends the reason for the title being like that is because most RnB album titles are like that, especially beyonce, she has had titles like that,so we wanted to keep with that convention. They said that the cloud theme was a bit too much but the reason for it, is to keep it with the theme of how dreamy the girl is in the music video and to also keep it looking quite natural. Some of the class was quite confused about the rose, but it was because of the way we drew it, as the layout of our paper was different to the way we would do it on photoshop, the rose is just going to be one picture of a rose that goes across the inside front and inside fold of the album, so when we do it on photoshop it won't be so confusing.

In conclusion, we made sure are work was up to standards and to the best of our ability, I enjoyed watching our work improve and become what it is today.
