After returning from the Christmas break, we have begun planning for work on the final evaluation questions which wrap up the project. george decided to tackle the third question as of the group, hehave used the most technology throughout the project, particularly in the edit. George has delegated the second question to me as she created the digipak (ancillary), which she will begin to work on as she returns to lessons. This left the first question to Ben, which he is comfortable with, and we will collaboratively work through the feedback (third) question as we receive feedback from peers, friends, teachers etc.
In anticipation of completing these tasks, we have discussed what will be the most integral and exciting methods of presentation, i.e. slideshare, prezi and creating GIF images to make our evaluation more inviting to read through than blocks of text.

Feedback / Evaluation of the Final Music Video Construction
In order to evaluate the success of our production, George created a survey using SurveyMonkey, which he sent to our peers (Media Studies students). Rather than ask a laborious series of complicated questions, he decided to ask five straight-forward and concise questions, as follows:
In the responses to these, we hoped to assess how well our product reflects the genre of the song (Folk/Rock/Psychedelic), how well it corresponds with the ancillary texts such as the digipak and website, and also what people liked/disliked about it in general.
we are rather pleased with the responses to the survey (as presented above). From this feedback, we may speculate that in general the music video was effective in presenting the genre of our artist, as well as supporting the promotional material (ancillary texts). we are very happy to see that some people appreciated the inter-textual references to the 60s and 70s, as well as our use of effects such as the coloured smoke, and our range of shot frames and angles throughout. Although one person commented that the 'bunny shot' may not be necessary, others suggested the sequence could have benefited from more of the concept influence, i.e. the unusual objects.
