As part of the evaluation the exam board requires that I get audience feedback. In doing so I have created an online questionnaire for people to take part i. I have created a small video simply outlining the the results. In addition I have created a word documents that contains my results in graph and charts.
What Have You Learn From Audience Feedback?

Out Now 4FLAVA Untouchable
I have finally created my Digi-Pak and Magazine Advert. It has been a bumpy ride but I have completed it and that's what is important. I had a few difficulties usig PhotoShop so i decide to stick with old school and use a PowerPoint. I did it fact find it easier. In addition using the IMAC's for something so simple was hard so I just used my home computer. I'm proud with what I have achieved
Better go now before this turns into a Video Music Award (VMA) speech. Got so much more to do. ;)

Narrative Levi Strauss
Levi Strauss and Binary Opposites
Yes, thats right, Levi Strauss. The one and only, amazing jeans designer Levi Strauss. The Levi's you see in Lakeside and wear on that special date. The magnificent designer by day theorist by night Levi Strauss.
Strauss argued that a structured of narratives was a dependent on BINARY OPPOSITES.
A conflict between two qualities or terms.
e.g. Avatar - Navi's World (Save the World) vs. Human World (Destroy the World)
The binary opposites can form the basis of the narratives. E.g. Good vs. Bad, Male vs. Female, Young vs. Old. These examples can be seen in the Channel Four Teen T.V Programme 'Skins'.
For Example
Gender
Narrative can be organized through binary opposites of gender stereotypes
*In regards to our music videos gender stereotypes can be seen when a male or female talks about a relationship going wrong towards the opposite*
Gender Stereotypes: Masculine
Professional
Strong
Competitive
Aggressive
Ruthless
Gender Stereotypes: Feminine
Rational
Ambitious
Emotional
Co-Operative
Sensitive
Supportive
Binary Opposites
Constructions of gender roles in narrative lead to series of binary opposites.
Dominant
Male
White
Middle Class (Bourgeoisie)
Middle Aged
Heterosexual
Able-Bodied
Subordinate
Female
Ethnic Groups
Working Class (Proletariat)
Young/Old
Homosexual/Bisexual
Disabled
Hahahaha. Tricked you. Their are two Levi Strauss and this one is in fact the Levi Strauss with the first name Claude and the designer is simply Levi Strauss founder of Levi Strauss & Co. So in the exam please make sure you make reference to the right one. DO NOT say that Claude Levi Strauss was a designer by day and theorist by night because that is not true. And Levi Strauss designer is not a theorist.

Narrative Todorov
What Is Narrative?
Story (storyline)
Plot (sequence of events)
Elements Of Narrative?
1) Time - Real Time vs. Chronological Order
Real Time: 'High Noon' with Gary Cooper - Film lasts 1hr 30mins and events cover 1hr 30mins
Chronological Order - 'Raging Bull' Sulvestor Sallone - Film lasts 1hr 30mins and follows event of 2-3 days
My video is abstract - not in real time
2) Closure - Ending/Cliffhanger
3) Enigma (mystery)
Don't Know What Is Going To Happen?
Classical Hollywood Narratives
Linear - Chronological Order e.g. Avatar
Few Sub Plots e.g. Pulp Fiction
Tendancy towards closure - tying up the loose ends
Todorov
Narrative begins at:
Equilbruim (everything is good at the beggining)
Disruption (creating a number of Enigma's)
Enigma (Who,What, Why, How, When)
Resolution - enigmas/problems solved
New Equilibrium
