First Draft Feedback

As we were behind with our filming our first draft lasted one minute and fourty two seconds but we still got feedback on what we have so far. Some of the best constructive feedback we got I have listed below:

• Need more movement, most of the camera shots too static
• Need more shots of artist in the centre 
• More locations that fit the genre 
• Should use colour correction on some shots
• Cut shots out off stairs, doesn't fit in with rest of video
• Use colour wall more in video

Digipak Feedback

After producing our first draft of the digipak, we received some feedback on ways in which we can improve it and also details that people liked about it.

Some positives of the digipak were: 

• Colour scheme works with the images on the digipak although the top left and top right pictures are too empty
• Enough representation of the artist
• Level 3 
• Colour scheme is good as it all links 
• The rainbow is used on all of the panels which is subtle but effective and makes them link
• Level 3 - 8 marks
• Like the images used as it fits with the genre and the artists image
• The dark image used shows us clearly what genre they are trying to portray as a lot of rap music is dark and sinister
• Front cover and song list is good 
• Whole digipak is a strong theme and artist genre is clear 
• 6 marks - 1/3 of your digipak is a 9 but others let it down
• DNA strands link with his album title 
• Personal identity is the theme 
• Level 3 - 8 marks 
• The title on the album is good, but doesn't necessarily match the genre
• Level 3 - 7 marks 
• Photography is good with good editing to make the photos look better and look more professional 
• Good strong colour scheme looks professional 
• Clear artist image 

Some constructive feedback was: 

• Text is good but the bottom left might look better if it went out wider to the sides of the frame
• top left and right are too plain (why are panel 1&3 the same?)/ too simple
• The font on the back cover doesn't fit with genre. Make this page and 'special thanks' page the same font to make the link clear 
• Don't agree with font used as it doesn't give off an urban feel to it more of a rock/indie feel
• Colour is dark which makes it hard to outline the artist (are dull and boring)
• Doesn't like the CD image, looks ok for genre of music 
• Level 2 - 4 marks 
• The back cover looks squashed 
• DNA is basic 
• No information on the spines 
• Special thanks is too long
• Looks like pop genre 
• Level 2 - 6 marks 
• Only one picture of the artist, could use another 
• Level 2 - 5 marks 

Website Feedback

We received some constructive feedback on our website as to what we can do to improve it and what people thought worked well with it. There was a mixed opinion as to the overall outcome of  what everyone thought of of the website. 

Our scores were:

• 5
• 7
• 9
• 8
• 7

Positives: 

• good information
• news page (very good detail) + about page is good 
• matches the digipak 
• good colours
• background links with the album with the galaxy and the colour scheme
• the links at the top of the page look good and professional like the logo
• pages themselves look good, shows the artists themes and how he is represented well
• merchandise looks really professional and matches the theme throughout
• the contact page looks really good with the pin on the record company 
• there is a visible theme and the genre is apparent 
• there are working links 
• good layout on the front page and it's good that it points straight to the new album
• I like the way it goes straight to instagram 
• like the discount on the store 
• map on the contact page is good/ clever and makes it look professional
• website nearing completion, therefore looks professional
• The background is effective with creating the image of iSO because the black and white look is replicated within all products which have realistic prices
•  dark background is good as it settles in with the image for his music video as well and the genre he is following
• countdown clock is good 
• home page is simple yet effective

Improvements suggested: 

• fire logo is too 'cartoony', which doesn't fit his serious image. Same image used for everything makes it look boring
• colours are too dull
• shopping basket colour doesn't fit the colour scheme
• about page doesn't have enough content, too basic, add more information, set pictures out differently to make it more effective to look at 
• merchandise is limited, need more with different pictures 
• needs more links - twitter & facebook (add to bottom of each page to make it consistent and easily accessible to the audience), tour dates
• There isn't much text
• Only one photo of the artist used throughout the website
• Quality of the 'iso' could be improved
• Could the background move?
• Contact us page is bland
• Information shown could be more about the creation of the song and more detail about the artist rather than a few sentences that give us a slight idea but it is still unclear
