Audience Feedback

Hey guys!

As you know, we have just finished our final music video, so we gathered fifteen people to watch our video and give us feedback, positives or areas in which we can improve on. We each provided them with a slip, which asked them what rating they would give our video, a positive comment section, an areas for improvement section and any concepts that they could identify in our music video. I will be uploading all these feedback sheets in a different blog post so you can take a read, however, I am going to be giving to a broad overview of the feedback we received as the majority of the comments made on the feedback sheets were very similar to one another.

Positive comments:

Good mise-en scene (clothing, make-up etc.)

Good use of lighting, especially in the lip syncing shots

Visual matching with the shots

The music video looked professional

Good use of light to portray the theme

Excellent editing

Areas for improvement:

A wider variety of shots

More locations

Overall, from above you can see the majority of comments were in the positives rather than in the areas in which we could improve on which is always a good thing. When reading back the comments I was very pleased with the overall feedback each individual gave us, and I think that the areas of improvement they did give me and my team, were fair and I can agree with both of these aspects above. I think that if we did use a wider variety of shots, this would of enabled us to receive a better mark and keep the interest of all customers. We could have used more locations, however we did not want to over do the amount of places we visited as we had a short time frame to film and then edit the music video, which gave us little time to visit more places. Furthermore, as none of us have a car, it meant that we were restricted to certain locations due to access, so we had to work with what was quite close to us. Additionally, it may look like there is 'too much happening' if we were to increase the amount of places we visited.

When calculating the overall  average rating for our music video, it scored a 4.3 out of 5. This was a much better result that what I expected, and I am very pleased that the 15 participants enjoyed watching the video.
