Is DVD dead?
This is debatable some may say agree some may not, over the years dvd's are becoming less popular, this is to do with online sites, tv's and new technology being released to give the audience more ways of accessing films without having to buy them.
Online media's such as Netflix being instant and love film give you the chance to pay £5 a month to watch as many films as they want online this is one of the best ways to make customers want to do this instead as its more for their money, but not every one wants to watch a film online, some may want a dvd to keep or for their collection which they can pick up and watch, or even give to someone by being a physical product, but with some of the most used shops closing down such as blockbusters and HMV this doesn't make it any easier for them to buy it which is why a majority of the people will find a different way of watching a DVD.
For some paying around £10 for a film isn't too tempting, so less people are likely to buy a DVD unless its in their budget or they don't have access to a computer. Hence why more people will divert to going online and watching a film for free or can even download to their PC. Although both have pro's and cons one way they are similar is the piracy, some DVDs you may get are pirate copy's or bad quality and so may the films online, such as giving you a virus, being slow or just having good quality, so could Blu ray be the next most popular viewing platform?
However DVDs are still popular with the customers, being more sure that they will provide you with better quality and certainty to work without any stopping and loading which could depend on broadband and the speed as well as the sites. They also can have bonus and special features as anywhere else you will not. Its more user and eco friendly and on the other hand, some hmv's are still open.

Video Installation Evaluation
The task was to create a video installation, by using previous methods of shooting, basing mine on painting being splattered on the wall as the effect i could edit this in many ways.
The video went well as it featured different colours which contrasted well, using bring colours to make it stand out more. The different transitions and movements used focused on different parts of the paint, such as zooming in on the part where it looked like it was dripping and the different blurred and grid techniques. The music went quite well as the paint seems to be splattered at the right times of the song, it doesn't have anyone singing so a backing track went quite well to focus more on the art. I think it was a good idea to try only get the wall and the paint in the video as it seemed more realistic and creative to know the audience is only looking at the picture and not the person or a hand that's creating it which will make it seem less interesting.
On the other hand there were still parts that didn't go as well as they should have, such as the short clip at the end which was hand prints on paper, using the emboss effect it wasn't a good way of showing the audience what it was about and it might be confusing and pointless as it doesn't really link to the main idea. Also it could of been extended and more creative, a variety of different camera and shot angles, as well as using bit more of different colours to make it more vibrant. These are the things i would change for next time.
