QUESTION 3. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT

FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?

During the process of making and developing our videos as a class we watched the videos and gave each

other feedback, in these sessions I got feedback such as:

I like the idea and the mixture of

performance and playful shots.

Lip syncing is well in time, I love how you’ve challenged yourself to do so much lip sync.

The choice of location is

excellent, really fitting of the

chosen genre.

Believable actor, looks

like he really is singing the

lyrics.

The thing I improved upon..People initially said my video was a bit boring and repetitive

This was when I decided to add the reverse speed to the shots that weren't him singing. This caught the audience

attention more so they wanted to watch it and people said it definitely improved it and made the video as a whole less boring.

The completed video…After I added all the improvements I wanted to and the finished product was ready, I then got brief audience feedback from others. I got feedback such as 'I love the use of both performance and the conceptual aspects.' Most people said they felt that my location conformed with the genre which my song is, they said that the use of the forest was very apt considering Newton Faulkner's personality, he is very chilled, peaceful and his songs are representative of that. Others thought that I had done to match the song up to the lip syncing of my actor so well, I am proud of this comment as I worked hard on getting them as matched as possible.

QuestionnairesAfter this I wanted a greater quantity and more detailed so I got other people to complete a questionnaire about their opinion on my video, I wanted to get people that liked indie music, people from that target audience and also people who are completely out the target audience that indie music is often aimed at. I created a designed a questionnaire with the questions I wanted answered the most. These are the questions which I included on my questionnaire.

FeedbackWhen asking someone who was older than my target audience I found they didn’t know what to

answer for a couple of the questions are they purely didn’t

understand what I meant, however all said that they

enjoyed watching the video

When I asked people who are in the target audience

they felt I followed the characteristics well, most people said they liked the

use of appropriate costume and location and the

backward effect really added to it.

I also wanted to ask someone younger than the target audience purely to see what they understood. When asking my

younger cousins, they found the bits running backwards fun and exciting

and the performance bit boring, so to target my video are more of an age

round I could adapt the video slightly to have more fun involved that just mainly

singing.

Question 6…The response I got from question 6 was very reassuring, people all thought that all my images in my digi-pack and video worked well together, as they all had a similar colour scheme because most the images feature the forest or a green colour which connected them all together, they like the repeated us of the same image on the front of my CD as well as on the magazine advert because it linked the two and felt it would make you recognised the CD in a store before you read the text purely because of the repeated image.

Things I would improve if I was to do this task

again…1. The first few suggestions people

made were things such as perhaps developing a narrative to the video for there to be a constant story throughout to keep the audiences attention more.

2. Also to review the first few clips to try and sort out why there was the glitch in the first few clips.

3. Another thing would be re-filming a couple of the clips as one or two are ever so slightly shaky.
