Evaluation Question 3 : What have you learned from your audiencefeedback?

For evaluation question 3, I am required to respond to some of the audience feedback we received as a result of them seeing all three of our Products. To present the results in a less fragmented way. I copied the results into the 'Textilus' app on iPad, which is like a Microsoft word app that is available on Apple products. It allows me to access my work from any apple device whilst also making it viewable on any platform. I then copied the text into this blogger format, after changing the reading format from Textilus:

DID YOU ENJOY THE VIDEO?:
-Yeh I suppose
-Sort of
-Yeh
-No
-It was alright

WHAT DID YOU ENJOY / IF ANYTHING ABOUT THE VIDEO?
-The lead singer was pretty good
-It was average
-It wasn't fast enough
-The Guy was okay
-It was somewhat Varied I suppose

WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE THE VIDEO OUT OF 10?
-7
-5
-8
-5
-6

WHAT WOULD YOU IMPROVE ABOUT THE VIDEO?
-The pace wasn't quick enough
-A lot
-Add more people in to create more energy
-Make sharper edits
-Just more of the same


As you can see from four example questions I gave the feedback wasn't all positive. This however doesn't mean it was bad. I suppose what we can take from this is the experience of knowing what to do in the future if we had to do this project.

Comparing what we made to the words stressed in a Previously made wordle, consisting of the answers we had from our original audience feedback:

You could say that we hit most of the words stressed in the results wordle. With the main being the instruments, locations and a distinctive beat. However, perhaps it's the words that we choose to miss out whilst filming that would of perhaps made the Music video that much more entertaining.
Extra's such as dancers, girls would have been useful to create more energy in the video, but perhaps wouldn't have fit with the style and pace of the video or the song itself.
If we had dancers in an Indie rock video it may not have fitted with the style, perhaps leading us to create something that doesn't fit the criteria needed to be a rock video.

From this wordle we can see that the people asked already had a pre-conceived notion about what should have been involved in our video. And by us ignoring them slightly we may have lead ourselves into a less positive reaction as they already may have known what they wanted.




Looking at the video now introspectively, the people we questioned in the first place were probably right in what they wanted to see. Perhaps we could have sacrificed some normality in exchange for more people enjoying or video.

If we had to do this project again, i would probably take the comments made more into actual production as the video is made to create attention for the video and the Album (Digipak).

Despite the video being somewhat of a success in my eyes, it is easy to when finished that the quality is perhaps not what it could have been, if however we had more people to work with. As we had many cancellations from people saying they would be in the video from other band members, we had to basically go with what we had in the one person mostly in different locations doing different things whether that be just standing, or even playing an instrument.

In summary I would say the video is in good enough shape to do well for our project, along with the Digipak and Magazine advert, they create a recognisable trio, as I have outlined in another evaluation question.
