Evaluation Question 4
This a short film I have made of the audience feedback we got from our video. Most of the people we asked for feedback fit our target audience. By asking our target audience for feedback allows us to know whether or not we fufilled our aim of reaching a demographic of 16-24 year old's.
The initial reaction from the audience was great. Everyone was cheering and clapping, which was a nice and rewarding feeling. From the inital reaction from the audience I learnt that my video was not as bad as I thought. I did not have much self confidence in my work but from the way the audience reacted it was clear that we succeeded in our aim to appeal to the demographics in the audience of the cinema.
When we asked for feedback from individuals there are a few comments that stayed in my mind. Firstly it was the amount of people that commented on the performance of the artist. Of course an artist has to perform well and not stand static infront of the camera but I didn't realise how much of an impact it would make on the audience. Nearly everyone we asked for feedback from commented on this, which taught me how important it is for an artist to perform and work well with the camera.
Another positive comment that stuck out for me was when Rebecca (my teacher) said that initially she didn't like the shot with the shutters from our rough cut. She said that it distracted the audience from the artist and we did our best to improve on it. Due to a lack of base tracks we didn't have a shot that we could replace it with, so we used a filter to make me glow and stand out drawing in more attention. Rebecca noticed this and said that it looked much better. From this I learnt that through the use of technology, you can improve your work without having to re-film footage. Technology allows for you to rectify mistakes and mishaps you may make during production, which is something, considering our feedback, we succeeded in.
One member of the audience said that to improve on our video we could have included a wider range of locations. Although most members of the audience said that they liked the locations, this one particular member said that to make it better we could have used more locations and base tracks. During the editing process I had come to realise that we could have done with more base tracks so this feedback was confirmation of my realisation. From this experience and feedback I have learnt that you can NEVER have too much footage!.
One of the people I asked for feedback said that there was a clear visual link between the main product and the ancillary product. From this comment I learnt how important it is for an artist to make a clear link through their albums and promotional strategies, in order for their audience to notice it.
One negative comment I got was that although there was an urban theme linking the two products I produced, from a member of my target audience I learnt that the synergy could have been stronger. He suggested that I could have used some kind of grafiti which was a predominant feature of our mise en scene, in our video.
Overall our feedback was good and we got positive feedback from our target audience which leads me to the conclusion that our video is appealing to our target audience. SUCCESS :)
