Primary Research
Personal Contact with practitioner
Here is the messages that i asked one of my biggest inspirations for when it comes to working with the artists that i love and filming music videos. i was very happy with the reply that i got from Cole Bennett.I wanted to make sure that i asked him important questions and ones that not everyone would be able to think of and to make sure that they were not generic like for example "whats your favoruite video that you have shot" because most of the answers to questions like that he has already said in interviews and i wanted to be able to pick information from him that not everyone would look for so thinking outside of the box.So for me when it comes to me applying this research into my FMP its more for what im going to be doing later on in life, However the message about self doubt has helped me with this work as its something i experience a lot of the time that im aware of and its allowed me to make sure to share this FMP in order to get feedback from it and even if i dont think my final product is going to be amazing others still might.
Cole Bennett -"Soundcloud's favourite video director"
This is Cole Bennett, he is without doubt one of my biggest inspirations for when it comes to what i want to do in life whether its the type of artist that id like to work with the genres of music or even the style of work he covers all these areas for me perfectly. i wanted to make sure that i was able to contact Bennett and ask him some important questions that i have, stuff that most people wouldn't thing to ask.
His main goal is to carry on expanding his business he now does everything from having his own clothing line as well as shows and even is working on doing his own festival which attached to the Lyrical Lemonade brand.
i was incredibly happy with the reply that i got from Bennett and here it is underneath.
Music video feedback
Once I finished my video I posted it on social media and currently as it stands it’s at 77 views on youtube and has 6 likes which for me is an amazing start to have drafted all that in from my Instagram and snapchat here’s some screenshots of 2 of the bits of feedback I’ve gotten. I’m very happy with the fact that people are appreciating my work as to me it’s something I wanted to do for personal reasons but to be able to now be comfortable enough to showcase my work to others and get positive feedback from that is amazing aswell as this one of my mates from secondary school sent me this
Which is incredible for me as it means what I wanted this project to do for me eventually as worked without me even having to go out of my way to people in order to put myself out there and the offer of shooting a music video for someone else now is amazing. As well as this I now have my new camera meaning that I have everything I would need to do a shoot myself soo I can doo it all without the use of college equipment meaning that hopefully in a few weeks time I can sort out a plan with my mate and get some ideas drafted and produce something over the summer that we are both happy with. Which is great news to get work out of my project as it’s all I could have asked for in the end let alone the good feedback.
Music feedback
ff
When it comes to my track after dropping it a week ago now I was very happy with the progress. I uploaded it to Soundcloud and it’s already had 110 plays and as well as this I posted it on my social media asking people for feedback here are some screenshots of some of the feedback that I was given
I was very happy with the feedback I received from people on social media as well as in person . When I gave the track to my classmate in order for him to mix and master it he was very happy with the quality of the song and the fact that the beat worked incredibly well with my voice and the flow was on point for what it was and as well as this he noticed that I would most likely have a decent voice in order to do some singing in the future and to hopefully work on some more tracks that will instead be produced by him and I said that I would be more then happy to make music together with him as personally I would love to feel more confident when it comes to my voice as I haven’t sung properly since year 8 when I used to be in a after school class for it and since then as my voice has broken I have questioned my abilities a lot when it comes to what I’m capable of even if people tell me I’m good I still don’t trust it. I also was told by my mate Louis that the snare hit very hard I would say that for me I did notice this on the track when it was fully mixed and mastered however I kind of like that it stood out due to the fact that it keeps you locked into the track and makes sure that your not drifting off from what’s being said.

SWOT ANALYSIS
This is the feedback that i have gotten from a few of my classmates i wanted to make sure that i improved on what i did last year in every way possible whether its recording the track or even getting the visuals to be the best quality they can be.So i am going to make sure that i take note of all of this feedback and apply it into my FMP so that i dont make the same mistakes i did last year therefore allowing me to have a less stressful time and to stick to a plan when it comes to mini deadlines which will allow me to have all of my work done during set dates so nothing overlaps and im not doing too much at once.
