Artist Permission

To avoid copyright that may arise from using the song, I have sought to get permission from The Dead Kennedys to use the song "Moon Over Marin"; this is prudent as the video will be uploaded to Youtube which would allow the video to be viewed on by anyone, and be viewed outside of where it was originally posted, so this could be subject to copyright issues. So to get around this I decided to contact them on Facebook as they often post on there, so they should have a high chance of seeing it- but it has been a few days since I have done so and I haven't heard back from them yet I will have to go ahead and use their song and credit them fully in the description below and make a point that I do not own the music.

Feedback for the video idea (peer assessment)

The feedback is generally positive in regards to the planning, though the goals stated are more related to my confidence in putting across my ideas (which needs working on, as at the time I was fairly flustered), which even led to me forgetting the name of the band. I have a few goals to add for the project: to finish a more comprehensive shot list and storyboard, to get some location shots, nail down actors, create a comprehensive list of equipment needed, and source whatever archival footage that might be needed.

Music Video Audience Questionnaire

 By doing an audience research questionnaire, this helps to shape the product to what the audience wants; by finding out what the audience likes in a music video and what the audience dislikes, this allows us to create a product that is specifically designed for that demographic, also, by looking at the age, gender and how they consume the videos, this allows us to gather data to reinforce the audience profile, and allows us to pinpoint the exact way to distribute the product to the audience to reach the largest demographic.


Also, by looking at what other music videos the audience has viewed it allows us to look at what videos they like, by doing so, it allows us to look at comparable music videos to see what the audience likes and what works in other videos.
This would be on the whole very beneficial to the project, in seeing what the audience likes, it would also allude to the type of video that the audience would like, be it conceptual,performance or a hybrid.

Also, by looking at what the audience likes, dislikes and wants to see more of, we can effectively tailor make the product specifically for the audience.
