a2 media evalution. question 3
TRANSCRIPT
This video was aimed at 12-15 year old teenage girls. We wanted to portray a POP genre
towards our target audience. Who enjoy listening to upbeat music and at the same time a bitmature. We had chosen this target audience as our artist seems very feminine friendly.
The audience feedback that we had received was very helpful. It enabled us to connect withour target audience and understand them. It allowed us to try and improve our work and makeit to the best of our abilities.
I enjoyed making the video as it allowed me to connect with my creative side. I allowed me tocreate images in my head and make them come before me.
The positive feedback that we received had enhanced our confidence and allowed us tothink that we had done a good job. However the negative feedback did not go down as well.We had received quite a few back comments but we had taken them in as a way to improveour work and if we were to do this again we would not repeat those mistakes.
We got our feedback from different sources such as getting a focus group together and askingthem questions. The comments of our music video on YouTube.
I had gathered some people from our target audience and placed them in a
room for a few minutes. I had asked them to watch the video and answer a
few questions which I had placed in front of them in the form of a
questionnaire.
I had then placed the results of those questions in charts. In the focus group there
was 10 participants. I had only asked them five questions.
1. Did you like the music video?
Yes
No
It was okay
Some participants had said that the video was good enough that they would be glad to watch it again whist others
wouldn't even take a second look.
2.Did the video hold your
attention?
Yes
No
When asked this question the faces on the participants seemed a
little confused and it seemed to take them long to answer. However vast majority said that it had interested them as there was two parts to it not just a whole
performance piece or a whole narrative.
3.Do you think the video fits
the POP genre?
Yes
No
Dont Know
When I received the answers for
this question I was shocked.
However we had stated in the
questionnaire that they must
state, why?
Here are some
answers I received:
“ What is the POP genre?”
“ It does not make sense to
me, shouldn’t POP be like Miley
Cyrus?”“ I think it Does kind of but I
don’t understand the song. The
video is good and kept me
hooked on but like I said the
song.”
4.Does the music
video make you want
to buy the song?
Yes
No
The participants that had said yes
had given these as reasons:
“ I think if this songs is good
then the others must be as
good”
“ I love the artist”
Whilst the ones that said No was not
because of the video they
indeed stated that they
enjoyed the video but did not
like the sound of the artist.
Some of them said:
“ who is this guy , he cant sing”
“the videos okay but the artist
is wow and not in a good way”
5. State any improvements that we
can have made or complete
changes?
“ you could have different locations
instead of just to” “didn’t understand the song so if you could maybe do something about that” “none I liked it even the artist ““ maybe pick a better artist next time”“ I don’t know what you could change but I think you should improve the camera work”
This is the feedback that we
had received from YouTube.
As it is shown we had mixed
reviews . Some thought that it
was a good video whilst other
thought that the video did not
do the artist justice.
We had taken this feedback
and criticism quite well with
an open mind, which allowed
us to look at it from someone
else's perspective.
