Audience Feedback on Rough Cut 5

Audience Interaction

To interact with my audience I will be creating a Facebook questionnaire where I will be explaining the narrative of the music video and then ask them what ending should I use with provided answers such as:

The story is about a girl waking up in the park having amnesia, she tries to remember and gets flashbacks of her being in different places, the first flashback she gets is her talking to someone wearing a black mask. The girl then tries to recreate her flashbacks to get her memory back, she ends up being in the forest and finds a hidden treasure chest, when she opens it, she will..

• Final Flashback - the person who was wearing a mask before turns up to be the girl herself
• It was just a dream and the girl wakes up in her bedroom.
• The story ends when the girl opens the treasure chest 

Vodcast 3 Target Audience

In this vodcast I talked through my target audience. For my primary researching I have created a questionnaire where I asked people their gender, age, what genre music they listen to, etc. To make the questionnaire fail I gave it out to the equal amount of males and females and varies their age category. After this research I have found that my target audience are females, 12-18.

I have  also created a video quiz and asked some people to watch and answer them. I have embedded the video at the end of the vodcast.



The result of the survey were as as expected. The people from 25+ barely knew who Halsey was or didn't know at all. It was more males/masculine people in this age range that didn't know who Halsey was rather than the females/feminine people. 

Halsey is a recent Alternative, electro-pop artist that gained popularity over the past two years. She is probably more of a social media icon rather than pop icon as she has rarely been in the UKtop 40, unless she has featured on other peoples songs e.g. Justin Bieber's "The Feeling", Chainsmokers "Closer". 

Target Audience Research

Video Quiz
This is a video quit which I created where I asked my audience about Halsey and her music.
There are the questions I have asked:

1. Do you know this artist?
2. Do you know this song?
3. What genre is this song?
4. Who was Halsey singing with at the VMAs? 
5. Do you know this song?
6. Do you recognise these albums?

Quizzing people online

I have created a quiz on a website  https://www.quotev.com/30024328

This is a quiz where I asked people if they are Halsey fans? They got to answer it and get their results. The questions will be made on Halsey knowledge. 

This is a YouTube video where teenagers react to Halsey, we can see some of them recognising them. We can also see their thoughts on her music and the way she presents it.

Treatment

Control by Halsey

Summary 

I will be using a combination of narrative and performance with a touch of concept. For the narrative part I will have a girl (central protagonist) waking up in the park on the bench. She will not remember how and when she got there. When the girl tries to get her memories back she will get flashbacks of in different locations and performing different activities. The first flashback will be of her talking to someone in a black mask and black clothing. She will then follow and recreate everything she has done before getting to the park. In the end the girl will go to the first and find a little treasure chest where she hid all the expenses. As she opens it we will get a final flashback of her in an abundant house where the first flashback was made and there we will be able to see the girl leaving after talking to somebody with a mask. As she leaves, camera would pan and show the person in mask through the mirror reflection taking off the mask. The audience would then see the girl and understand that all of her flashbacks were of the girl playing a phycological game. In terms of performance I will have a separate artist singing the song and performing in various locations.

Mise-en-scene

Bellow I will be listing thing which are essential for the music video I am creating. 

• Locations: Forest, Park, Town/shops/streets, Abundant building
• Costumes: Black mask and clothing for the antagonist, grunge outfit for the singer, white lose dress for the central protagonist, 
• Lighting: External lights for the scenes at the building
• Props: Smoke bombs, treasure chest, jewellery

This is the mask I am thinking to use for the antagonist

These are the smoke bombs I will be using for the performance scene

Target Audience 

I have created a questionnaire where I asked people on what genre they like and what they expect from it. I found out that my target audience are females 14 - 25. Therefore I have decided to make an accent on the colours such as pink and purple. One of the ways I have done that is by using smoke bombs. 

Digipak Design

I will have my first shoot on Thursday where I will also have a photo shoot of that cast and the artist. After Shooting the photos I will be using Photoshop to add different fond and experiment with colours for the digipak. There are verities of fonts which I could use therefore to help me with this task I will be creating a questionnaire where I will ask my audience to choose a font and ask for their option on it. 

Cast + Crew Needed:

For this music video I will need a female central protagonist, artist who will perform the song, make up artist and a stylist. I have already done auditions for central protagonist and the singer, Also I have someone who would be responsible for make up and costume.
