Near Completion

As our video is now complete along with most of the written context too, we need to set a date to show the video to a selection of our target audience to receive feedback before we can make our final conclusions and write up the evaluation. The date we have chosen is the 10th February 2010.

After Effects

This week we have edited the final version of our video by using After Effects and Particle Illusion 3.0, we have included and changed various aspects of the video to create a more realistic and professional look

• We have changed all of the lighting aspects in the dance studio so that you cannot see the different light changes from where the sun has altered position. We chose a more golden glow and used a focused light point with blurred edges so that the audience's attention is drawn just to Beyonce, letting the background take a less important role
• We made sure there were no jumps in the cuts and that the video flowed smoothly, there was one error we noticed where she altered position too quickly, so that we had to insert a different dance shot in there
• We made the decision to cut some of the ending from the song, as our video had reached nearly 5 minutes it was starting to get repetitive and with a cut of 40seconds it is now a quicker and more fluent sequence.

Completing the video in these programmes has helped give a more professional edge and made us take more notice of our video from a respective angle, therefore we could make significant changes such as the light issue which we had not noticed before.

Thank you for completing the questionnaire

Here is the questionnaire that we are going to hand out when we show the final production of our music video, which is now complete. This will allow us to take in our target markets opinion of what we have created and whether we have succeeded. We chose to ask ten simple questions which fitted onto one single sheet of A4, this makes the situation easier for the audience as they do not have to write long responses due to many questions being circle answers and only requiring a select few simple responses. We hoped this would give a more accurate response as the audience would not get bored of writing out long answers.
