Evaluation Question Three

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Once we had finished editing our video when then uploaded it to youtube straight away, once it had been on a couple of days we then began to get feedback from the viewrs that had watched it some of the comments were:

These were all the comments that were taken from youtube, i was really proud for myself and the group on recieving these comments as all of them were positive and the main comment that really did stand out was the one from the song writer herself Anna Neale. We were really happy with the people that had viewed it also because the age range we wanted was males and females that were young adults and through monitering youtube this was the target audience that has been watching our music video. One comment that i do entirely agree is that we have created a great story and presented it visually in our music video this is what we aimed to do as a group and with this comment it has obviously succeeded in doing so. I also agree with the Lip syncing i think as a group we worked so hard to match the song up correctly with the video and took so many shots just to make sure that it would look in perfect timing that personally i dont think we could of got any better timed with the song, this was one of our aims at the beginning of creating the music video to make sure the lip syncing was in time. And also to make the lip syncing more believable during filming i actually sang the song outloud. I also thought that the video must of been of good quality for the song writer to put such a positive comment like that on youtube. Another one of our intentions was to make the shots look real and 'film like' and as naturalistic as possible so it didnt look fake or unrealistic. One comment was left saying that the use of lighting and camera angles was really impressive the reason for agreeing with this is because when we were filming we made sure that we re-filmed the shots as many times as we could for example filming long shots, mid shots and close ups this was so we had variety in the music video and also to take our pick of which shots to use instead of worrying that there wouldnt be enough material to fill in some missing gaps. Some shots I noticed in the final uploaded version we didnt cut correctly therefore showing a couple of seconds of film that shouldnt of been in the final version, so we had to go back and make changes so the video looked up to standard. On a whole I think that the video is fantastic even though some of the qaulity of shots let us down for example the first sequence where i am sat on the bench look really professionally done where as some other shots through out the video could of been better. Some shots were also not added from previous filming sessions due to the white balance being incorrect or the widescreen not set correctly. Overall the feedback so far has been positive apart from the few comments on our draft version which were given as advice rather than criticism. We have changed the errors in our music video and me and the rest of the group think we have worked hard to make this look believable and have succeeded in doing so, so we all have positive views towards the video.
