Evaluation Question 3

Q. What have you learned from your audience feedback.?

Throughout this project audience feedback has been very important for us because it allowed us to look back at different ideas and advice people had given us and this helped us immensely when it came to making our video and ancillary tasks.

The first time we got given audiene feedback was from our teacher when it came to pitching our idea for our video and song. When we did this she said that she liked our idea and she gave us tips and ideas of her own that we could use in our video to make it more effective. After recieving this feedback we went away and decided as a group how we was going to film and make the video. Whilst we were out filming certain areas of our video we decided to ask the actresses in our video for some of their advice on some of the shots we should take and what they thought about our ideas for the video. This helped because it showed us peoples different perspectives, and gave us an idea on what ideas we were defintly going to use and what ideas we wern 'tto sure about. Once we had filmed our video we edited it into our rough cut. Once this process had been complete we showed it to our teacher. The criticism we got from our teacher was much greater than anybody else but this was expected due to the fact that she wants to see you get the best grade you can and her experience in the subject means she has a wider knowledge than most people. Her main criticism was that some of the shots were too long and they needed to be seperated with cuts and effects such as cross dissolve as this will improve the continuity and make the video more appealing and exciting. Another criticism was of me the actor during the video i repeat a certain movement too much and she beleved it to be too noticeable. This was something that unfortunately we wasn't able to change too much in our video. As this was my fault i felt slightly dissapointed and that i had let the rest of my group down, as i should have realised that i was doing it too much and corrected myself. Our teacher also picked our good points within our video. She believed that there was a certain part of our video that had a great relationship with the music behind it. Also the story behind the video was a great idea and it went well with the song.

Once the teachers feedback had been recieved we got some of our fellow classmates to watch our video and write their comments on a piece of paper. Our fellow classmates were less critical but what they had to say was still very important to us. This was due to the fact that they were around a similar age to who our target audience was for the video. It gave us a realistic reflection on what people of a similar age would think. Some of our classmates also picked up on the fact that some of the editing needed working on so this just confirmed to us something we could work on for the final cut.
