Facebook

As well as Twitter, Facebook is another social network site where most artists have their own page. This is another way of informing the artists fans on any news that there may be and so they can see what they have been up to. Any recent pictures are also available so anything the artist has been doing they can see for themselves. You can see Jess Thomas's facebook page is you search her on Facebook.

Twitter

To help to promote our artist, we designed a Twitter page. This was so our fans could follow us and see what our artist was doing and any news that she may have.

Another reason we did it was to make our artist seem more real. The majority of the younger generation are on Twitter, therefore for an artist not to have Twitter, it would be quite strange. And of course, as our artist is some new who is up and coming, Twitter is something that we felt we must create for our artist. Follow her and see her tweets @JessThomasMusic

Big Budget Vs Small Budget

Rihanna is an example of an artist who has a big budget to spend on a music video. This video is her video We Found Love. It shows she had a large budget by the effects such as transitions, lighting and sound effects, outfits, locations, ideas which have been created. We Found Love topped the charts in 25 different countries, becoming one of the most successful songs of 2011 and 2012. Worldwide the single has sold over 8.1 million copies making it one of the best selling singles of all time.

 



 

In comparison, States of Emotion are a band which have youtube hits and people may know who they are, but they would not have had a big budget to create their music videos. As you can see, in their video The Unsung, it is slightly simple. It's still effective and suits the type of song that it is but you can clearly see that it has not had a lot of money that has been used to put towards the production.
 

Final Music Video

Here is our final music video. I am overall quite pleased with what we have achieved. Considering we changed our song and idea completely half way through we were quite worried at the beginning that we wouldn't get it finished in time. We weren't happy with what we first started to create therefore knew that the best thing for us was to make this change.

I do think our video shows our hard work, you can see all the editing that we have done to it. 

Evalution Question 2

Evaluation Question 3

 

We are very pleased with the feedback we recieved. We have picked up on the comments people made and know what we would have to improve. One thing we realised that people said was that we needed to put more locations into the video. We did use a variety and used as many as we could with it still looking effective and not too all over the place, but we realise that maybe the graffiti wall and brick wall does appear quite a few times.

Another thing one of the people said was that we could have used more outfits, i personally think that the different outfits we used was quite a lot, but if people noticed this then it is important that you consider everything that has been said.

The editing was also said to have been done well, i agree with this, i know myself that it took a long time to do but this is because i did it. I am pleased that people noticed this though and that it shows we have worked hard at it. We have put in a lot of different effects and cuts as we feel this suits the style of the song.
