WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?

Below i have created a short video on imovie about what I have learnt from audience feedback

SCRIPT

Before I began planning my own music video I used the survey money website… www.surveymonkey.com in order to gather feedback based on indie music videos from my target audience. The feedback i collected gave me an insight into what my audience expected to see in an indie music video such as things like; the types of clothing my artist would wear for example shorts and a casual top, the location it should be filmed at (beach or forrest location) and the different camera techniques used such as close up shots and depth of field. After looking at all my audiences feedback I began to draw up a storyboard of the sequence of shots i want to include in my video. My class then gave advice on what they thought worked well and things which could be improved for example to include more footage of close up shots of my artist singing. 

After uploading my music video onto youtube in order for people to view it and give me constructive feedback, I felt that I needed to add in some shots of my artist doing random things such as walking and just basically chilling out so that it gave my sequence a bit more variety. After highlighting what needed to be added in I then took my actress and went to do another filming session down by the beach. I felt that the shots i had filmed made a big difference to my sequence and gave it a more interesting appeal for the viewers to watch. 

Having completed my final music video, I used sites such as twitter and facebook in order for the audience to view my product, allowing me to gain some more comments on what my target audience thought. I managed to gain both positive and negative feedback which i found very useful for example they felt that there was a good amount of shots of my artist singing and how she fitted in to the 'indie' style of music very well. 

For my ancillary tasks I gained most feedback from my class media class mates as we watched eachothers videos one my one on a projector screen. Some of there feedback included: 'Good location choice', 'nice depth of field technique used on the poster image' etc. 

Overall the feedback i gained from the social networking sites such as Facebook, Survey monkey and twitter was very useful in helping me to complete my media coursework. These sites have enabled me to develop my ideas and gave me more of an insight into the different aspects that have to be taken into consideration when creating a final product.
