EVALUATION

Question 4
What have you learned from your audience feedback?


Audience feedback:
I have put together the comments that i received and made it into a video, this feedback is on particular aspects of the editing, sound, mise-en-scene and lighting for my music video. 




When we were at the cinema, I took a recording of our video playing in the cinema and the reaction that the audience gave, I also recorded some people outside so that they could give me some feedback on what they thought about the music video. 


I think that we got a really good response to the music video, everyone cheered and clapped after it had finished. I also thought from the reaction, everyone liked the fact that there were people from our college that they knew in the music video. Even though I knew that I worked very hard in creating the music video, it was really nice to see what a group of people thought when they watched it. The response really made me happy because all the hard work paid off and it was a good music video. The audience liked it and cheered plus when I recorded individual thoughts on my music video; the feedback was really good. 

Feedback From Hanifah:
These are the main points that she mentioned: That the uses of editing and the cuts that we used in our video was really good. She said that her favourite part was how the people were walking past in fast forward, She said that she couldn't think of anything that we could improve on. --This feedback also boosted my spirits about how our music video would portrayed, and I am glad that we put those fast forward edits in the video, because for the individual this is what stood out. 

Feedback From Conrad:
These are the main points that he mentioned: He said that overall he liked our music video, and he said that he especially liked the faces put together, however he said that the faces could all be the same size in the frame. In the end he said that we could have maybe improved on our lighting.  


From his feedback I got a chance to look at how I could have improved my work and if I could change it would would i do differently. As you can see from the video he has said that we could have made all that faces the same proportion, I agree with this statement and think that the reason why we didn't manage to get every face the same proportion was down to our ability to talk to the public. When we were out filming the people's faces I was hesitant at first to ask people and it took me some time before I was confident in asking even if I got rejected. I think that the process of asking random strangers to record them was a new concept to me and I think that this is the reason why I wanted to film them as quickly as possible. This lead me to misjudge the proportion in which we were supposed to film them, leading to the different faces being of different proportion. From my audience feedback I have learned that If I could do this again I would change the approach I took when out filming, I would be more prepared and more confident in getting the filming done to a good standard.  



Feedback From Judith:
These are the main points that she mentioned: She said that she really liked how we put the faces together and she said that she liked that we used a fade in, fade out transition with the artists face and the lights at night. -- I think that from her response it showed me that it was good that we used the typical conventions of pop videos because these are the points in the music video that stood out, making the audience like and remember it. 

As you know from my previous post I created a survey using SurveyMonkey. I did this in order to find out what the audience would think of my ancillary products. I got three responses for my survey. These are the questions that I asked, and these are the responses that I received: 


1. What do you like best about this Digipak?


-I like that it's really realistic, and it looks like something I would actually buy.
-The colours and the layout
-The continued theme of autumn leaves


2. Does the front and back match or compliment each other?

No, They do not compliment each other0.0%0
3. How do you think we could improve the front and back of the Digipak?


-Well personally I think it's excellent however I think that on main cover, the 'golden frames' is a tad hard to see, and would recommend using a different colour to make it attract the audience.
-Maybe if both the inside panels were covered in faces
-Although everything is autumn, and quite cosy, the attire of the person in the picture, does not compliment the whole theme. I.e I think if she was wearing a scarf etc and looked more...cosy? She just looks cold


4. What do you like about the inside panels?


-I love the faces, I think that compliments the song and the message.
-I like the faces
-Interesting concept of many faces, highlights that the music could potentially appeal to many different sorts.


5. Do both of the inside panels match or compliment each other?


-Yes they do
-A little. But if I didn't see the outside panels I would think it was a bit random
-Not really, you went for a diverse theme on the inside, personally i think the cover should highlight the diversity again.


6. How do you think we can improve the inside panels?


-I don't see much that you can improve.
-By having faces covering both panels
-with a continued diversity theme, as opposed to having a picture of just Alex on the left. Maybe, have snaps of these other people, during day to day life, create a collage?


7. Does the front and back panels match the inside panels?

-Nope.
-Overall, nice. I'm just being a massive critic. 'Patch'


--------


The feedback that I got from the survey really helped me reflect on what it could improve on. The reflections that I have made are that all of the sides of the Digipak could be more tightly linked because then it will pull the products together and help the audience feel as though it is complete and that all the products intertwine and link. From the feedback I learned that I need to be careful about getting my artist ready for the weather outside, because if the whether is cold and she is wearing clothes for the summer then it will look odd I think that what i could improve on is that I have to take in consideration variables that could change and i have to be more prepared than I was. 


I also think that having audience feedback really helped me think of how I could improve if I were to do it again, because normally when you produce something your looking at it 24/7 and it's hard to spot if your going in the wrong direction and I think that I have learned that having a fresh point of view really improves your work.
