Hey Charli and Kelly,

A friend of mine stumbled across this video, just wanted to say it's great! We're going to post it on my website soon. Hope that's OK with you.

Thanks again, glad you like the song!

Music Video - Amanda Kaletsky - Everything Lies

I have uploaded the music video to youtube so we can get some audience feedback from a wider range of people not just people we know. I have uploaded it to youtube as our target audience is the core 15-24 age group who are consistant users of websites such as this.

Here is the link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2eZ1MZQJVg

Along with youtube I uploaded the music video to bebo as it is one of a few popular social networking sites for the 15-24 age group to go on.

Here is the link; http://www.bebo.com/c/video?FlashBoxId=10463743064

Unfortunately if you aren't a member of Bebo you can't access the comments on the music video. I have therefore created an account mainly for the use of Mike, the media teacher and any moderators who wish to access these comments.
Once the link has been opened scroll down and click on 'login to view comments' where it will ask you to provide a username and password.

Facebook is also a very popular site for people ranging from teenagers to people in their middle ages. I have e-mailed a few contacts on facebook with the link to the music video and asked them what they thought. Some of the people couldn't comment through Blogger and the Google accounts so they e-mailed their views back to me on facebook;

Audience feedback for the music video

Kelly and I have nearly finished the music video, and we decided to ask people to watch it so far and see whether we need to change anything and what they thought of the pace of the shots etc.
We asked media and non-media students to see what technical aspects we could improve if any and to see if it appealed to people who didn't actually do media.

Non-media student feedback:

• Ash Hallam - Pace good, don't need to change anything. liked how shots followed each other quickly, song fitted visuals.
• Matt PW - Agreed with what Ash said & understood what the song and narrative was about and what the message was.
• Georgie - Liked that the shots switched between lip-syncing and the narrative, the best bit of the music video was when Kelly and Charli were both singing at the end, wouldn't switch it over if it was on a music channel, loved pace.
• Tarnya - Everythings good, wouldn't switch over if it was on a music channel, loved the pace.
• Charley Bale - The visuals suit and go with the music and the beat of the music, it's well good, long takes suit slower pace of music in beginning (& slower narrative), shorter takes suit the faster pace of the music towards the end (narrative advances), nothing needs to be changed.

Media student feedback:

• They all said that the pace was good and shouldn't be changed, they understood the narrative and treated it like a bit of a soap opera, they enjoed watching the shots of the audience as they were quite comical - which was the intention, overall they thought it was really good.

  love the front cover very simple but effective, love the picture with the rose its sweet and like the back cover the rose looks cute and innocent.

  i like the back & front cover of the CD was really good, and looked very proffessional. If it was real i would buy it! Lol
