Digipak Feedback 2

As we are almost finished our digipak we think we should get more anonymous feedback. 

We used open ended and closed questions to get a qualitative and quantitative response. 

Realising the issue with this question is we don't know who picked which but we can still get good information. There is clear like for the images used and the colour scheme 

We will try to these improvements to see how good it actually makes it

Everyone could tell it was indie rock or some form of rock.

Most like the 2nd digipak which is the most improved therefore we know we have gone in the good direction.

Website Improvements 22/11/15

After changing the website we have decided to go to more of a professional route with the about page 

We decided to add separate pages using the system wix has. This is so they can go to the separate pages for the about page

Digipak Editing (6/11/15)

I began to edit the digipak based off the feedback we got from the questionnaire and teachers. I tested out a few fonts from dafont.com 

but in the end i decided the Argentina font suited it the best. 

I decided to use a design with the smoke effect we originally agreed on in our initial pitch. 

Narrative Editing

I transferred all the clips from filming the narrative and then began editing it into the rough cut for the video.

After receiving feedback from Al it's clear that the narrative barely has any context, we need to film more and extend the narrative to have a clearer story and show the disequilibrium throughout and a lot more of a linear storyline. 

Website Update

After receiving feedback from Nicola I decided to re-do the website with a different template. We looked through the ones Wix offered and the group decided on it. I will also re-create a new logo.

Rough Cut Feedback

We aimed to get a lot of feedback through many sources such as through a form, through asking and tweeting.

Google Form - For the questionnaire we went with open questions to give us more qualitative data so people can write what they want and we can get a real response that's unique to each person.

I also sent an email out to my friends and people i knew including the questionnaire 

Music Video Feedback:

Asked over Facebook

Questionnaire Feedback:

From the responses we can see we mainly hit the right genre with what we have done. However the overall grading for the digipak could use some improvement. 

They really all like the black and white effect on the digipak and how it follows through the entire theme. However from the responses we clearly need to make the digipak stand out more and make it less generic from other albums. 

Overall the text does seem to fit however someone suggested "some text that looks like it's been hand written" and therefore we will test that to see how it looks. 

Overall the responses said we should change the images and some text. From feedback with nicola and al we are already thinking about changing the top left image. After this we will change the entire digipak to suit the new logo and change what has been said. 

After this we know that we leave the CD panel alone and that the general theme does fit with the theme of the band. 

Overall it was a tie with 8/9 since the video isn't complete this is understandable. 

Overall the shots we did and the black and white theme was well received and therefore we know that we dont need to re-shoot. Also the clip with " jump by the guitarist " we will keep after feedback from nicola saying we should remove it. We all like the shot and since we have secondary feedback that says it's a good shot we will keep it. 

Overall there is not much change that needs to be done they suggest location shots and the band getting more into it, however we feel as though the location will be okay if we include enough narrative to draw the viewer away. We're taking after what the 1975 did in Heart Out where there is one staged location.

It seems as though the homepage is their favourite, with starting a new website completely we will take all this into consideration and implement it in the new design. 

They like the images used in this initial design and the theme throughout the website. We are thinking of making a separate feedback form and comparing the new against the old seeing which we like more. 

Overall many people like the website giving it a 8-9 score and a yes to it fits the genre. The only negative is some said it only fits it to an extent. 

Again, Mixed responses some say "really well put together." then others say "a lot of dead space" therefore we have decided to make a new website taken all the responses. However the main outcome is that they liked this initial design.

Overall:

• Film The Narrative - Done
• Create a new website
• Change the panels on the digipak
• Quicker Editing 

Music Video Rough Cut

This is the initial rough cut of the music video - this doesn't include the narrative or is fully done and is just a taster to see how it looks. With feedback from Nicola she said:

- Fix the scene at 0:43

-Make sure the narrative fits in

-It looked professional

This also includes feedback on the video below 

We also created a music video rough cut with blocks of narrative to see how we could work it in: 

Digipak Rough cut

We asked for feedback from Nicola and she suggested to:

• Fix the top left panel - The quality and sizing
• Include small text on the back cover
• Try and include colour

From doing this we learned

• Photoshop shortcuts to edit images quicker
• How helpful tutorials can be
• Space isn't a bad thing (we initially made everything too big and cramped)
• The importance of precision 

The Pitch Feedback

During our pitch we got the audience to write feedback on what they thought. This is what we received;

 We clearly need to do a lot more planning and re-think some of our ideas a lot more realistically. This helped us see this in realistic terms.
