What gender do you think the song is aimed at most?
Male              Female            Both male and female

From this questionnaire we were able to gain feedback from a number of different peopole from all different ages. The main feedback that we were able to gain from this was that the age we believed would be best for the target audience was; I believe that the target audience of our music video is going to reach out to people around the age of 18 to about 40, i believe this because once you hit 18 you are now becoming an adult and are to have likely come across some kind of heartbreak whether it had been a younger age, or an older age. It still effects people in the same way and they always say that "your first love hurts the most".

As our video is about love and having bad luck with it, i belive that females will be able to relate to it alot more than males although i belive a number of males will still watch it. Although the video is going to be at a slower pace due to the tempo of the song, i belive that this will play no huge effect on who watches the video, as a number of major stars have done this and still the same audeince watch it, if anything i believe it would catch more peoples attention as it will be out of the ordinary, and will bring in a slighly older audience. This has happened with the likes of Chris Brown, Rihanna, Adele and also The Script.

I dont believe we should stereo-type the type of people that are going to listen to the song, although the younger generations are more likely to listen to Drum and Base, RnB and pop i dont think we should count them out from listening to this song as everyone goes through the same things such as heartbreak and missing someone which the song focuses on.

Ancillary Task - Digipaks

What Is A Digipak?
They are typically a gatefold style either made out paperboard or card, they have a plastic tray on the inside capible of holding the disk. The digipack casing is usually used for a single or for a special edition, they have been brought in by the major record labels instead of using the ordinary cd case. The dikipaks wanted to be made enviromentally friendly and so the plastic used on the inside tray has all been used from recycled waste.

Comments On Rough Cut

I believe that camera angles and work have been carried out very well in our rough cut. We have used a majoirty of different shots and angles although i believe at some stages in the piece we may have used a few to many. With regards to the begging of the rough cut, from the bedroom scene of playing the guitar to ally walking down the road after locking the door. This part of the cut is out of time, and the camera is also very unsteady, this was because the clip had not been stabilised, a tool which is available on the editing software that we are using called iMovie. Also there are alot of gaps that i believe should be filmed, for example were the main character ally comes out of the door
