Evaluating my Website

Evaluating my Website

 



1. Using the brief, explain how you have met its requirements for the Website.
I have 5 original images that I have used on my website which includes images of the persona of my artist, as well as live shots. This reinforces the brand identity as I have made sure to use lots of bright colours as dance music tends to communicate a happy emotion, which they also achieve through the use of bright colours.
I have made an original logo for my artist which displays their name but also includes a sound wave which links to the idea of dance music as it means music and sound, and these shapes are used quite a lot for the genre as a lot of dance artists are DJ's and this shape is usually associated with them.

2. Explain how your webpage seeks to represent your band/artist.
I have used bright colours and shapes as from looking at other dance artists websites I have seen that this is a common theme. This is because the colours and shapes connotate  the happy feeling that dance music portrays. I have also designed the logo in mind of the dance genre as I have used a sound wave which makes people think of music and movement. I have also made sure to match the rest of my website to the colour scheme of my logo as I will be using my logo in my music video, and want them to link together. By using these colours I want my artist to be represented as fun and relatable, whilst also conveying the dance genre conventions.

3. Explain how your webpage seeks to appeal to the target audience?
My target audience which is 16-25 AB would like this website as it is colourful, bu also has links to my artists social media which is a big way that fans interact with artists these days. I also has images which the target audience will like due to the artistic take on them, as well as the easy and accessible nature of the website.

4. Think about each element of your webpage (title, colours etc.), what elements of it need to improve? How will you achieve this?
I think I need to look at the overall layout of the pictures on my second page as they do not flow as well as the ones on my first page. I will achieve this by playing around with the placement of the images on my second page, and will make sure to try many different options.



5. If you have taken original images, are you happy with them? Do you need to retake them? What would you do differently?
I am happy with all of the images on my website as I feel as if they are original and represent the artist really well. This is through the use of colour but also how I set up the images to be taken. If I was to retake one of them I would probably do a different image rather than an eye, but I feel that the fact that my artist doesn't have an identity through the pictures of the eyes, makes the artist more interesting and more relateable for the target audience.

Final draft of Posters

Image
Final draft I have made these posters for my final draft. The first one has my model standing on a tree trunk looking into the distance. I have edited it in a way that makes the picture brighter and less dark, but if I was making this poster again, I would make sure that when I re shoot this picture l, you are able to see the clothes such as the t shirt more clearly. I would do this as the clothes are supposed to be the centre of the poster, so I need to make them be more of the focus. I would also have it so that she is at a right angle as the picture looks slightly odd because she is tilted slightly. The logo is in a different place in both the pictures, so I need to frame them better if I retook them so that there is continuity. The second poster is of my model in an archway of trees. I like the perspective and how the path follows upwards, and I believe that if I have my model more to the left, the path would flow nicely in the picture. I again made the picture brighter ...

The male gaze in Papa Roach- ...To Be Loved

Image
The male gaze in a music video of my choice- Papa Roach- ...To Be Loved      We can see in the music video, and the image below, that this video is aimed at a male audience as the Rock genre has generally more male listeners than female. Because of this, the video is focused on the lead singer, Jacoby Shaddix, with lots of girls, some of which wearing revealing outfits. Jacoby is used to represent a situation that men would like to relate to, so the male audience do this.  The singer Jacoby looks at the predominantly male audience as if to say, this is what you can be like if you live like me ( a rocker). The audience may look back at him with a sense of want or jealousy as that is the life they want to have. However, the female audience may be looking at the video with a sense of disgust as they know that that is a dream and not a reality, but also because the women in the video are dressed very scarcely, they may dislike the video because of ...

Stranger Things

Genre- 1. What are the formal codes and conventions of Long-Form TV Drama?   Dramatic narrative (storyline) Multiple sub-plots  Ensemble cast (each character – own storyline) Main plot is usually resolved within the season  High production value sound/emotive Expressive lighting techniques dependent on sub genre  Scheduled Prime Time.  2. How similar or different are the formal conventions used in Stran ger Things?  Stranger Things is a Netflix show so will not be on TV in the prime slots, which means that it is regularly available for fans to watch on demand, but also may encourage more people to buy a Netflix conscription as they have heard about the popular show an want to watch it for themselves, which they are only able to do through Netflix. Also, the main plot of Stranger Things is not solved within the season and is spread across multiple seasons. 3. How does this help to develop the genre and the way in which audiences respond (po...
