Focus Group
Positive feedback:
My idea was well thought out and fitted my artist's image well. The two contrasting type faces I had chosen also fits the image of my artist and the theme I had chosen well. The idea that I had set it in a similar style to a children's story book, but then contradicted that by using more adult images and styles within it.
Negative Feedback:
Could play on the fairytale theme more, by using Disney characters inside the booklet, maybe by having Nicki Minaj dressed up as these characters. Have the background of the front cover set up as a fairytale, so it all looks very pretty and magical, then when you turn to the back of the album have the back ground looking out onto Queens, so a very urban, rough back ground. This would continue my idea of the contrasting theme throughout the album booklet.
How this will effect my ideas:
This won't hugely effect any of my plans or ideas, all of the negative feedback was very helpful and I agreed with all of it and would like to use both of the suggestions made. So it really only effected my ideas positively, to make the final outcome a lot better and more interesting than my original idea.

Research Report
Research-
Through out this unit I have been concentrating on the history and research of music videos. I chose to concentrate on a song by The Kooks called 'Already Miss You'. I wrote a treatment for a music video for this song and got feedback (focus group) to improve on my idea. Also I created a story board and then an anamatic to get an even clearer indication of my idea. I did these pieces of work to help towards the making of a music video as a director would.
Conclusions for primary research-
I viewed many of The Kooks previous music videos for primary research to help towards my idea for a music video. The reason I did this was to make sure I created a music video that fitted their style and audience. I found that on many of The Kooks music videos they used the lead singer as the main actor/character, but the rest of the band also tend to make an appearance in the video at some stages. Also they often have a narrative video, but use shots of the lead singer miming as well. The videos aren't over the top or full of bright colours because this wouldn't fit the genre of music or audience. I took these factors into account when thinking of my idea for a music video.
Conclusion for secondary research-
When I looked at artistes and bands from the same genre and who have a similar audience to The Kooks, I found that they also have a similar music video style. This confirmed my ideas of creating a video in the same style as The Kooks previous music videos, rather than breaking the mold and doing something very different. Although this can be popular with different artistes, I didn't feel it was necessary or appropriate in this case. Other bands similar to The Kooks also tend to use shots of the band and then focus on the lead singer. They also tend not to use bright colours or choreographed dance routines as this is more common in pop and R&B music videos. Most of the videos I researched had some sort of narrative running through the video, so I will also use a narrative structure, rather than a theme, like a club for a pop song.
