Evaluation Task 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

These are the analytics that I have collected from YouTube about the viewing of my music video. I have annotated these with more information and analysis of what I have learnt from them.

This is the audience feedback that I have received and an explanation, justification or observation of what I have learnt from it.

Audience feedback from Olivia Gardiner

I have learnt a lot from the audience feedback that I have received; most of it has reassured me that my music video has been effective at portraying the storyline. The editing I chose to use as well, such as stop-motion, slow motion, sped up and the filters I used have also been recognised and appreciated.

For the future I have also been given some constructive criticism such as the fact that I may have wanted to include some more lip-syncing shots. I was also given the suggestion of given one of the versions of the woman a different filter to help distinguish between them. Most of the advice is minor and subjective to personal opinion. I have taken this feedback onboard and will keep it in mind next time I make a video, especially if it is a music video.



I got two people who take media studies to give me some extra verbal feedback on top of my analytics and written feedback. I believe that since they are both media students they know what to look out for and so will give an honest and technical view on my music video. This adds to the variety of feedback that I collected.

Album Advert 5: Audience Feedback

After discussing with my peers about what I should change and add to my album advert I created a survey monkey. This has allowed me to receive more feedback on the issues raised and to make sure the feedback I received was backed-up by a larger audience. I collected feedback from twenty people on my album advert. This has consolidated with me what I need to improve and what it good about my album advert.

From this I know I need to revisit the symbols at the bottom and add more, I also may want to look at my overlay again before going ahead with he final product. 

Digipak Cover 9: Audience Feedback on my Mock-Up

I created my survey monkey in order to collect audience feedback from my target audience. I managed to make sure that the majority of feedback was from my target audience by sending the link directly to people I know fit the mould of a young, indie audience. 

 Receiving a resounding yes from this question is very positive feedback and makes me confident in the fact that my digipak is in sync with my music video. This allows me to move forward with the look of my digipak for the final draft.

 The feedback on my choice of font is helpful as it has let me know that it may be better if my font has slightly harsher lines. This will make my digipak edgier and more clean cut and may be more in line with the expectations of my target audience. This is something I will bring forward and change for my final digipak.

 The majority of the people who gave me feedback have said that there is nothing else they want to say about my digipak suggesting nothing else needs to be change. I have had some other feedback which I have listed below that states slight changes that I may want to make.

Overall this feedback is very helpful and I will take it on board when designing my final digipak.

Rough Edit Feedback

I have received feedback on my video from the rest of my class mates.

Positives

1. Nice Variety of Shots
2. Clever Editing
3. Lip Syncing is Good

Negatives

1. Needs to follow beat of the music more
2. Some shots were maybe too long

Over all I am very happy with the feedback that I have received as it will help me to improve my video. For my next draft I know what I need to change in order to improve my video and am thankful for the constructive criticism my class has offered.
