Evaluation Question 4

What Have Your Learnt From Audience Feedback?

On December 6th I went to the cinema to watch my music video. They day is vital as it was the first time we all got to watch our music video, it was also a great way for me to see the audience reactions and get some feedback from them. I made sure I had my camera with me on the day to document this experience and I also caught up with some people who watched my video and they gave me some feedback. I took notes on some of the feedback I got from people and me and my group also filmed some people talking about our work.

Shani's Feedback: The Music Video was beautiful and Lovely I love how it is also linked to the digipak. The best thing I like about the video was all the shot's of the artist lip-syncing loves how there was such a variety and loved her make up, costume and the mis en scene. I loved it so much I showed my mum.

Shani has seen both my music video and ancillary work. She stated she liked how all my work is linked together and how it's good as she as an audience knows what they are all about. She stated that my Advertisement gave her all the information she needed and that we kept the video really professionally and it was enjoyable to watch. Lastly she stated that she watches my music video when she has time to spare and she has shared the video with her family and friends.

Carolines Feedback: "OMG prince your video is so nice, I love the special effect's and the girl's lip-syncing was excellent. It really felt as if the song belonged to the girl.  I love how things went backwards really made if more interesting then just normal dancing."

Levett's Feedback; "The actual artist was always present so we knew who was singing the song. I went with the genre, I really liked it Top Job, 10 out of 10, 100% for effort."

Here is the video of Levett's feedback. Links at the bottom will lead to two more feedback video's.

What I have learnt from all my feedback is that everyone really enjoyed our video more then we even expected. It was great to see that all our effort was not put to wait. After spending a lot of time editing and adding effects into our video it was nice to know everyone really highlighted that. Everyone talked about the artist on how good her performance was and how good she looked which was great as the video is supposed to some what of a promotional marketing scheme for her as a new artist so for everyone to recognise her and get people talking about was a great. Nobody really gave us any negative feedback which was great for us but I personal think that if we could do it again some things would have been done differently. Like some part's of the video the lighting was kinda low but we made sure we did not put that scene multiple of times and the scene only lasted a couple of seconds. I think we could have used the camera in different way's like we could have TRACKED the artist as she walked or lip-synced, I did however tracked around her near the end of the video just to show some versatility in our camera work. 

People also said that the video used conventional editing and effects that is used in our dub-step genre that we followed. Our teacher's also said that we could have adding in some extreme close up's of the dancer's as they danced, If we did do it again I would have cuted in some closer shot's of the dancers as they done their choreography. We was also told that he dancers and singer should have had a scene together it would have made our video more effective then it already was. My ancillary work got a lot of positive feedback to if anything I could have added some more designed at the back of the digipak and I could have done more with the cd holding panel. I was also insured that everything linked and that everyone was impressed. I really took in all these feedback in as I think they are really important as an artist or manager or anybody working in music. They really help you to know what errors not to do next time you create a product or ancillary text and it is always good to hear feedback from your target audience.
