Star Persona: Backstory

To explore our star persona, I decided to create a spoken transcript for a fan of our star persona talking about what makes them special.

Transcripts contain a lack of capitalisation and punctuation, and is usually a visual representation of the voice recorded. I decided to use a transcript to show the psychographics and the ideology of what makes DJJ ultimately stand out.

(.) : Indicates a pause of under a second

(1): Indicates a pause, the number inside the brackets is the seconds of pause

Bold : Emphasis is put on this word/phrase

: : : Elongation of a word

((italics)) : Contextual or additional information

TRANSCRIPT: My Inspiration

Max: ((walks to the front of the class, slightly nervous))

For appreciation day (.)  I would like to talk about my favourite EDM artist (.) his name is Dylan James ((murmurs are heard around class of this well known individual)) but he is known as DJJ (2) I have always been told that the secret of success is putting your heart mind and soul into even the smallest of tasks (1) At first I thought that this was nonsense (.) but then I learned that this was what led to DJJ to become how he is now (.) and this is what I will be talking to you all about today

Dylan was born and raised in the suburbs of Hertfordshire (.) As we all may know, Hertfordshire is legit in the middle of the countryside ((laughs are heard around the classroom)) and is definitely not the most busiest of places (.) As a child (.) Dylan was :never: much of a fan of the silence that he had to ultimately become accustomed to (1) From a few visits to London to meet relatives Dylan (.) for the first time was able to look at the :amazing: city atmosphere and through these visits he became sure that Hertfordshire wasn’t for him (2) In an article actually he described Hertfordshire as “one of the most boring places on Earth” ((chuckles are heard around the classroom once again)) Unfortunately Dylan’s dad was just as in love with Hertfordshire as Dylan was in love with London (2) At the tender age of twelve, Dylan had ultimately set a new life goal.

Many obstacles came in the way of Dylan’s aspirations (2) Dylan was never the brightest of students (1) Despite having some difficulties with concentration Dylan loved the creative subjects (.) and he also discovered his love of music at high school (1) Dylan would always get into trouble for listening to music as he entered the school building (.)  to make up for the silence of the outside world (.) well (.)  everywhere apart from school at least (1) He would :always: get into trouble for zoning out or creating random beats with his pencils and the table or other bits and bobs (.) It was not until college where he finally had the opportunity to further develop his creativity but this was also not always a piece of cake (2) After finding essays extremely difficult to develop during his early stages of college (.) it had finally been evidenced that Dylan had developed dysgraphia (.) a writing disorder which leads to poor handwriting and difficulty with putting thoughts on paper (1) Dylan found it difficult to write his thoughts out (.) and it led to difficulties in spelling which meant that his essays were never as creditworthy as he wanted them to be (1) At first, Dylan felt incredibly unable to do anything at all, leading to a negative view of himself (2) Despite all he had gone through (.) with supportive teachers who allowed him to take online assessments (1) and use audio recorders for his final exam (1) Dylan was able to score a good enough grade to pursue a special degree in music and media which was much more practical (.) at City University of London (1) Dylan did have to work very hard (.) as he had to learn to build arocund the practiced ways to think on the spot and come up with decisions (3) Ultimately Dylan was able to succeed his goal of living in London (.) one of the loudest and busiest places in the UK. His hard work definitely reaped rewards which definitely goes to show how anything is possible (1) Thank you for listening ((students around the class applaud Max for his strong speech))

FEEDBACK: Rough Cut

In order to collect target audience feedback, we used similar people to our target audience research in order to see what feedback they had. This allowed us to understand different things to take into consideration when completing the transition cut. We used a standard screen because of the camera used to film.




Edited by Kanaiya

As a group, this feedback was summarised in a convenient form so we can continuously look back at it for improvements.

Rough Cut

In terms of the quality of the video we had a few difficulties in exporting the video to a higher quality standard, we will ensure this issue will be fixed during our final music video.

Additional Research: Editing to the Beat

When editing the rough cut, a key issue was the editing and the way it synchronized with the fast beat in the song. As a result, I decided to look into different ways of editing to the beat. This is particularly because as our song is quite fast paced, long takes may not work well.



There are many advantages and disadvantages with using this technique. Some advantages are that it is quick to do and easy to understand. However, using this technique means that it may also be easy to make mistakes, so it may take some resilience to master.

To further enhance my understanding, I used a song and practice setting markers to edit to the beat. Here is my attempt.




Alongside this, I practiced the technique with our own footage from the rough cut using the markers which I learned to use from additional research.


This is how the work space looked when I was editing to the beat.
