Audience feedback for ancilliaries

We decided that we wanted to gather some audience feedback on our ancillary tasks. We posted pictures of both the promotional materials and waited to see what feedback we got. The screenshots below show the post that was put onto Facebook with the images of both ancillary tasks and the bottom screenshot shows the comments we got about them.

 

The feedback we got was positive and most people thought that it looked professional. From looking at the feedback we got it allowed us to see what everyone liked about our ancillary tasks as well as showed us that no one though that we needed to improve on anything. This means  that our idea for ancillary tasks was successful as all of the people who made comments liked them.

Ancilliary planning

When completing some of our edits of our planned ancillaries we also came up with a new idea that we could possible decide to use instead of the first set of planned ones; we were thinking that there is a lot of talk in our song of newspapers and the main artist being turned from a scruffy no life person to a much more successful person a 'superstar' by 'putting on his boots' and kept on walking (getting on with life and following his dreams no matter what obstacles may face him). Playing off this theme running through the song of newspapers and the media we came up with a new theme; for the poster and the main front panel on the CD digipak we are going to make a mock up front page of a newspaper with the same image idea we talked about in the first 'planning ancillaries' post of a main image of Kuziva but split in half with the scruffy unsuccessful side on the left and the smart 'superstar' side of Kuziva on the right. But then when it comes to the other panels on the CD digipak they will also follow a newspaper style theme. The sketches of the plan are below: (also if we complete this ancillary idea we can get audience feedback from it and decide whether this idea is better than the previous ancillary ideas - so we can use the best in the audiences opinion)

 

This poster will also contain all the conventional feature of music promo poster that can be seen in the previous ancillary post. the layout is similar to that in the other ancillary it just this time it is in a newspaper style theme and layout.

 

 

This is the CD digipak sketch for the new newspaper idea, it has the same info on the same panels as the first ancillary plans but this time it is in a newspaper theme and layout.

 

 

I have started creating the poster in Photoshop and here are the first few drafts (I will update this post as it develops:

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

Graphic match testing

When completing our storyboards and our idea, we wanted to include quite a few graphic matches that can be used as transitions form one location to another, one of the main graphic matches in our production is when Kuziva walks from a urban city area into a field, rural are and we wanted the graphic match to happen while he jumped over a trailing to make it more interesting, once getting multiple shots we edited it up to see how it turned out before using it and this was the result:

 

 From this we thought it has worked very well and we should definitely use it in our main production. By testing what it would look like and how well we could edit this footage it allowed us to see what it would look like and actually how well it worked.

Permissions

We created permission slips for those who are appearing in our music video and any promotions of the promo such as digipak and magazine advert. We then got those people involved in our promo to sign this permission slip to say that we are allowed to use their image. Below are images showing that the permission slips have been signed by our chosen actor and extras and therefore shows that we have permission to use their image in our music video and other promotional aspects.
