What have you learned from your audience feedback
- 1. What have you learned from your audience feedback? Abbie Topping
- 2. Who we asked • After creating our music video and the ancillary texts, we created a questionnaire for our audience to give use feedback. We chose people of our target audience 16-25 year olds, due to the fact it will associate more with this age group as they are more likely to go out and party to dance tracks. However, due to asking members of our sixth form, we had limitations as we only had 16- 18 year olds present. • This is so we could find out good and bad points of each project we produced
- 3. Questionnaires and Graphs • We created these, due to the fact it would be simple for our peers to write answers down. We also sat them down all together to watch music video within the media suite. We decided to do a focus group as we felt we could all participate in our feedback.
- 6. Graphs • After we conducted another questionnaire asking 20 people the questions below, you can see the results represented in pie chart forms.
- 7. Reflection: Poster • Feedback provided me with a good insight into the improvements that could have been made to my media products. James comments on the layout of the poster saying that more information should have been included rather than repeating slush management twice, I feel he has made a valid point. However, I personally believe that posters need to be to the point. • It has also shown me the colours work great together creating a vibrancy needed for posters to catch peoples eyes, however it could perhaps be too colourful distracting people from the information provided.
- 8. Digipak • Many members who we got feedback from thought the Digipak worked well and linked the poster and it together. However they thought the front of the Digipak did not match well with the rest. I do agree with this point, however we wanted to create a link with the poster itself. We also found that some wanted the writing style and colour to match with the poster if we were wanting a link between the two. Yet we wanted the track list to stand out. • However we also had many positive comments. They thought it was a professional look overall with the copyright details and sponsors.
- 9. Music video • Overall, they thought it was a great piece of work, for example the cuts were fast and fitted in with the music even when it slowed down. • Yet some improvements could be made: The camera quality faded when different cameras were used from a distance, small group of people better if there were more, slightly repetitive etc...
- 10. My thoughts • I am really pleased with the feedback as it gave me insights into what we can improve for next time. I do agree with some of the comments to which I can improve my music video, Digipak and poster. • I have found that different opinions for my music video provided by the group of peers we asked where different and contradicted one another. This is simply because you cannot please everyone! However they all seemed to enjoy watching the music video which is what we wanted to create; an enjoyable video to which you felt involved in watching and was different to most music videos with a narrative. • Overall I have learnt a great deal from the feedback provided to me. If I were to conduct this project again I would definitely use better equipment to get a better quality of images to make it look more professional.
