The question: What have you learned from your audience feedback?
After getting feedback from a sample audience, our music video received some positive feedback. One typical comment was that the editing , and this immediately stimulated interest; and also the use of the cross fading, which we used throughout the video, also seemed to get really good feedback. On the negative side, however, the comment was made that it was detrimental doing all the video within the studio.
The audience’s overall response from the video was that our editing was really good and kept the audience interested and there eyes glued to the screen. The use of different types of shots encourages the audience watching the music video to perceive it in different ways, and also creates a successful and professional feel towards the music video. Another positive comment which was made was about the roof shot, many of the audience thought it was a really creative idea and showed the underlying meaning of being 'the worlds greatest' and trying to be the best and being on a high place such as the roof top really sets a great sense of superiority.
Other positive comments which we received were about the the lighting, for e.g when we took the shot of the pianist walking into the theater getting ready to play the piano. Another strength that was given was the lip-syncing, apart from one clip, people thought the lip-syncing was in time and matched the lyrics of the song perfectly. We found this bit exceptionally hard because i did not know all of the words so i had to use different clips and make it look like Ive got the words in perfect sync, and this ended up working well and most people could not tell the difference.
Some music videos that are created are not perfect, like many other videos ours is not perfect either, and with hindsight there are things within the video which could have been improved on and made better. The audience which viewed our music video, felt the biggest problem was the fact that we had done most of the music video in the studio and all of the video in the college grounds, we did this because we wanted certain lighting options and certain effect that we could of not been able to obtain anywhere else apart from either the college or the studio.
From our audience feedback we have learnt a lot, the audience feedback picks out both positives and negatives about the music video and it allows us to get an idea of what people think of it, and what can be done to make it better.
