Evaluation Question Three

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

When trying to get feedback on our work we recieved a lot from our class after our first draft of the music video. With the ancillary tasks I recieved feedback after it was all done, so anything that i learn, that might be negative; I will say it would be what I will improve next time when creating and editing work like this. Now the easiest way to get feedback on our digipacks and adverts were to post the pictures on facebook. The only bad point about this would be; the feedback would be byast because the comments would be from friends. Though I did ask them to be as honest as they could.

Digipack

This is the feedback I recieved from my digipack:

The first comment is saying it looks professional, so I asked them what I could improve on and he said maybe to change the colour of the songs on the song page because it is hard to read on the orange and white background. Another postive point was the colours, the audience seemed to like my autumn colour scheme that I have used on my digipack. From the feedback; the only improvement I would make would be the colour of the songs so the audience would find it a lot easier to read.

Advert

I also posted my advert for the album on facebook to recieve feedback. A lot more people seemed to like the advert more than the digipack because of the nature of the photo. The pose seems to be the main positive point that most people point out. This is what the feedback said:

All together six people liked the overall photo. Most of these people said what they liked about the photo and what they thought I should improve. Two people said that I should have gold stars instead of just the words and have it rated at, at least four stars. Which I will next time when doing work like this. Jodi also said that this advert goes very well with our music video due to the artist's overall look. Though another person said they did like the use of Q rated it... but two people said it didn't work as good as it could so I would change it next time. Alex said that she noticed that the picture and the artist resembled sadness and love which is what the song is all about. Which is good to know that the image has come accross well and the audience has taken it well. Lauren said that maybe to make the Q statement a bit bigger like everyone else she liked this part of the advert and to sharpen the hands to make them not so blurry. Which is a good idea to make the image a whole lot sharper and noticeable. The last toe people said that they thought it was very proffessional and liked the colour use, also to maybe change the background a bit because you cant see the O in out. All of the feedback is very good and has made me see what I would change or improve.

Music Video

A few months ago I posted the feedback from the class on our music video. This is the link to the blog post: http://adeyleigha2media.blogspot.com/2011/01/music-video-feedback.html

We had time to make improvements on a lot of the negative points we recieved about our music video. The main negative points we recieved from the feedback was; the shakey camera shots and some of the shots were a bit too long. So we changed this in our music video. Filming some more singing parts; making them not so shakey anymore and cutting the clips down in editing. So the audience could relate to it a lot mor, growing a lot more understanding as well. Though we improved these negative points, there were a lot of positive points that they pointed out as well. They liked the use of our storyline; including the notes and mirror scene. A lot of the audience also thought our editing was very good as well, espcially the scene we slowed down where the artist is running.

This is what I have learnt form the feedback we have recieved. For the music video we did have time to change the things the audience thought needed to be improved. For the digipack and advert however; the improvements couldn't be done because I ran out of time. Though the positive feedback reflects that ther improvements aren't really needed.
