Audience feedback

 As we had a first rough cut of our video we decided to get some audience feedback from other members of the class and external students. This enabled us to take onboard comments so that we could improve the video. For us, the video makes sense, but to other people who don't know the concept behind it, they may not and so this feedback illustrates this for us. Whether they like it or not will also demonstrate to us whether it is reaching our target audience. 
The comments that we got for our video were hugely positive. It was good to get a mix of media students, who were more likely to see technical problems and non media students who watch it from an entertainment point of view. 

Comments/Feedback 
The comments that we had got given were as follows:

• a good variety of shots/angles
• great use of different locations
• Good performance
• Natural chemistry between actors
• Like the simplicity 

A comment was made on the consistent performance of the artist and the natural chemistry between the artist and the character. These were two aspects of the video that were very important to us when making and filming. This was because the editing and concept was simple so the performance and acting was to be of a good, high, solid standard.

Improvements that we can make

• To finish the video- this was something that we were obviously aware of as the montage at the end of the video had not been done at that moment in time.

Audience questionnaire

I created a questionnaire in order to find out more about the music consumption of my peers.

Although all were aged 16-20 and students, the answers varied more than I expected. When asked to rank genre of music, no one put the genres in the same or similar order, all put a different favourite artist and only a few agreed on the importance of a music video. 

This surprised me because it shows that, although all of similar age, we are all influenced in different ways by music and how we consume it. 

From the questionnaire I learnt that it is possible that the genre of our product needs to be marketed in a different way to a video of a different genre. 

From this we created a group questionnaire which can be found on our group blog edify.
