Receiving audience feedback is a massive help to us as directors/ actors and editors. Receiving both positive and negative feedback is very handy. The positive feedback lets us know what the audience like seeing and enjoy watching in our music video, this then makes us aware as to what else we could include to keep the audience entertained. Negative feedback is crucial in the development stages of a music video. We need to know what the audience don't like and why, this way we can take out any bad bits and be aware in future not too include anything that the audience doesn't like watching.
The first bit of feedback we recieved was from our teacher, we recieved this feedback when we proposed our idea to Mrs Dolby. We told her what our song was, where we were going to film, the mise en scene our characters were going to wear and the props and loctions where we would film. We wanted to hear what Mrs Dolby thought about it and what she thought we could include to make our music video the best that it could be. Below is the feedback we recieved from our teacher.
Receiving feedback on our music video draft was very helpful because it made us think about what the audience like and don't like in our video so far. The audience think that Eoghain staring into the camera singing with a green screen behind him is a really good idea. They said its clever and the animations on the green screen behind Eoghain will keep the audience gripped. However, they said that we shouldn't just focus on Eoghain and the green screen all the time because it can get boring. They want more unique scenes with more action in to keep the audience entertained and intrigued. This can be easily changed, all we had to do as a group was get together and storyboard a few more ideas.
Feedback from our teacher told us that we needed to make the storyline of the music video more narrative based. This way the audience stay interested because they have to work out the storyline for themselves, the music video will include a range of different scenes and actors/singers to make the storyline clear, and the visuals will link to the lyrics of the song making the music video seem very professional.
Although negative comments are not what we want to here, they are much more valuable than positive comments. As a group we have learnt to take negative feedback positively because they are only helping us make our music video better.
The other day I gave a couple of my friends a questionnaire which simply asked them about what they though about our music video, below are a couple of examples of the questionnaire I gave to people:
