Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Audience feed back is important because it allows us to take in other points of view and then think about what we could have possible done better to improve our own work. It helps us improve because other people will see flaws that we wont see and maybe have adapted ideas to the ones that we already have.
We set our target audience between 16- 21 so we asked people that were 17-18 years of age to help us with feed back as they are within the target audience boundaries.

A questionnaire was given out to our feedbackers as they watched the music video. the questions were typical, what was good? what was bad? and how would you improve it questions. Many of the people that gave feed back said that the shots were too shaky through out the video, however we did some research into the way that the actual band and genre filmed there music videos and we discovered these were shaky to give more of an atmosphere to it so we took this in to consideration and applied it to our own work

 On the first Performance, people said that they didn't like the red tint as it didn't look white balanced as it appeared dark, but it it wasn't it tint it was a red light that was used as part of the set as this is also how we intended it to look from the research that we gathered from previous videos. they also said  that the narrative was unclear but we think that they misunderstood because the narrative is only at the beginning and fits with ever lyric of the song. 

The positive feedback we had on the video was that all the shots were well framed and were very clear, all the shots were in range, all of our material was appropriate to the task that was said, the overall editing was strong  and the pace was quick and on our questionnaire no one rated us less that a 7 out of 10, all affects were used appropriately and that the lip syncing was very good.

Good aspects 

Poor aspects 

Using wordle, we have created a mind map of all the positive and negative feedback from our first screening. By typing up all of the comments from our peers, the wordle has cleverly shown which ones were most popular by making the images bigger. For example, our peers thought that our performance and narrative were really good and that they fit in with our genre. However, our peers also thought that the camera was shaky and that we had poor lighting but they did not know that this was intentional for us to create the capture the genre

This is an example of one of the feedback sheets that we acquired after the screening to our peers. This sums up on average the kind of feedback that we were given. They thought our video was an A grade standard and that we had very good lip syncing, shot types were clear and well framed and that mise - en - scene was well chosen and suitable for our band. We then created an average out of all of the marks that our peers gave us and we came out with a 34 overall mark score They were honest and said that we had some shaky shots but this was intentional. Overall, we are happy with the feedback and feel that we impressed our peers.  

The information that we got back from feedback suggests that we didn't have to change any thing to meet our audiences needs so therefore we didn't change anything. 

We do agree with the majority of feed back, however some of the negative comments that the people who took part suggest that they didn't really understand the genre as what they picked up on things that were intentional due to the research we did at the start of the project. 

The process of using a questionnaire could be unreliable as people may not take it seriously and put a full effort into answering questions which may not very good feed back
