30 second teaser

Half Way Evaluation

Here is our Half Way Evaluation, we showed this presentation to the class in order to help gain feedback. This Emaze covers our artist back ground, target audience, and Music video. We have also aded our Digipack, merchandise ideas and website although these are still incomplete.

Risk Assessment

Halfway Evaluation Reflection

After presenting our halfway evaluation we received a variety of feedback, both positive and negative in order to move forward and improve our music video, website, digipak, brand image and target audience.

Music Video Teaser
Here are a few examples of positive feedback we received:
-  "GIF is very useful and very good teaser trailer."
- "Good shot selection, image and timing."
- "Link to digipak. Outfits provide a clear artist image."

Here are a few examples of constructive criticism we received:
- "Not a lot of lip synching, could have slightly longer shots of Nova singing."
- "Not sure how it works together yet, what is your point?"
- "Quite dark in some shots."

Website
Here are a few examples of positive feedback we received:
- "Easy to read, nice font."
- "Good large image of artist. Gives a clear representation of the artists look."
- "Clear simple design."

 Here are a few examples of constructive criticism we received:
- "Quite simple, doesn't relate to much regarding synergy."
- "Quite plain, use images to create synergy."
- "Homepage doesn't fully portray the artists image. Include merchandise and links to social media."


Digipak

- "Like the front and back cover."
- "Has lots of influences from the video. Good colour coordination/ strong stage presence."
- "Photos are good and stay with the theme."

 Here are a few examples of constructive criticism we received:
- "Needs more of a feel of 'synergy'"
- "Some photos were in different environments according to brightness."

Brand Image

- "I thought it was excellent, they suited the image very well."
- "Nova is a good name, has connotations of stars which fits in with the quirky theme. Strong stage       presence."

Half
 Here are a few examples of constructive criticism we received:
- "Not necessarily unique to other performers."

Target Audience
Here are a few examples of positive feedback we received:
- "The audience are able to relate to the artist."
- "Good use of social media and marketing with regular updates and interaction."
- "The teenagers and females will easily reach the target audience and the bright colours will attract them."

 Here are a few examples of constructive criticism we received:
- "Think about merchandise which reflects Nova."
- "It could be targeted to the young adult population more."
- "Very wide target audience."

When reflecting back on our feedback, as a group we are focusing more on improving the website and making sure we create clear synergy across all of our platforms to make the whole body of work more cohesive and structured.

Nova Merchandise

Here is some of the merchandise we have created for Nova. It consists of T-shirts with tour dates on the back in a range of colours as well as a hoodie and poster. These will be found to purchase on the official Nova website that we have created as well as at her tour destination venues. 

Shooting schedule

Filming Reflection :  The filming went very well, we made sure we were organised and cleared our schedules completely for that day so we had plenty of time to film and not rush.  What could have gone better is that the second time we went out to filmed we could not find a spare battery for the camera, therefore we had to charge an old battery which wasted some time. 

Group Timetable of Availability

Here is our group timetable of availability for next week. Next Tuesday we half day finishing school at 1:30pm we plan to film of our music video as we will all be free, the next day is also a non pupil day so will use this day as an opportunity  to get as much filming done as possible.

Artist Name Research

In order to establish our artists name we carried out some research in order to get feedback from other  people in the class. We used a website called Surveynuts to create our own personalised survey with a selection of our favourite names for our female artist. Our artist is quite unique and fits into the genre electric R&B/Wonky Funk, therefore we felt the name had to be something that would be cohesive with the genre. We chose names linking to greek goddesses, star signs and astrology.
