Audience Feedback

Today I presented my music video to my classmates after which they answered a few questions about the music video; they noted the aspects that were good and identified areas for improvement. This is a good opportunity for people to tell us how they feel about our music video, but more importantly it is a vital part of the production process as their feedback enables us to better our product. Having completing this exercise means we are equipped with the knowledge on how to improve our music video so that it meets our target audiences expectations.

These are the completed feedback forms:

This showed me that while the music video was good and was definitely appealing, there are improvements to be made. Everyone agreed the editing was good, and they liked the use of special effects but felt the some of the shots became too repetitive and so made the video a bit boring. One group also mentioned how they did not like one of the outfits as the colours looked really dull. During the colourising stage we will tone the grey down and pull the colours in the jumper and buildings to make the shot look less dull. As for the repetitive shots we will go back through all our footage and see if we can replace current shots with anything good we find. A further positive was everyone enjoyed the performance, they thought it was fun and entertaining to watch; and it definitely engages the audience.

Audience Feedback - Rough Cut

In today's lesson we had a rough cut viewing of our music video and our classmates gave us feedback; they identified the parts they liked and noted any areas for improvement.

What I learnt from the feedback:

• People liked the use of locations.
• They also thought the performance was good as it was interesting and attention grabbing. 
• They also liked the editing, especially the quick montage at the beginning and end.

Thing to be improved:

• There are still a lot of gaps in the video that need footage added to. 
• There was this one location that people didn't like the costume for as they felt it was too casual compared to the rest of her costumes where she looks more glamorous.
• Some of the shots were out of sync.

This shows that we need to start moving a bit quicker and start adding more footage into the video. And we need to either re-shoot Gabi on the bridge in another costume or fix those clips when we come to do colourisation.
