Audience Feedback

Overall we recieved some very good feedback from our showcase on Thursday night. Previously we had created assessment worksheets which were given to the audience on entry to the show, the audience were then expected to answer the following questions. 1. Did you think the choice of settings in the video were appropriate 2. How successful was the video in satisfying the conventions of the genre? 3. Editing - how successful is the editing (features such as transitions between shots, synchronicity of action and sound) 4. Cinematography - how successful were the choice of camera angles and movement? 5. Did the narrative of the music video suit the themes of the song overall? 6. Was the narrative in the video easy to follow? 7. Were you entertained throughout? 8. Which section of the video was most successful and why? 9. What could we do to improve this?


1. The audience thought that the overall choice of settings were very appropriate and fitted in with the theme of the song. 2. They also thought that the video represented the mise-en-scene very well and that it was also successful in satisfying the conventions of the genre. 3. They thought that the editing was very good and that it demonstrated the frustration in relationships well. People can also relate to this as it is a everyday problem for many people.
4. The feedback for the editing was also very positive. Most of the people thought that the editing was very successful and the wide range of camera angles made it very effective.
They thought that there was a very wide range of different camera angles and movement. This meant that they didnt get bored and constantly had something different to watch.
5 and 6.  The narrative of the music video did suit the themes of the song overall. We didnt have any negative feedback about this and therefore it seems that we fitted the video in well with the narrative and what we was trying to show.
7. The audience were very entertainted throughout the entire video. They didnt get bored at any stage as they were never stuck watching the same clip. We did have one comment which was negative and that was that we re-used clips. This was our aim though as when we researched pop music videos, this seemed to occur time after time.
8. The section of the video which many people thought was the most successful was the couple together in the field, and also the club scenes and spotlight. They felt the emotion with the couple with the happy and sad times. Also they thought the performance in the club scenes and in the spotlight scenes were done very well.
9.Not many people commented on how we could improve the video, however someone said that we could use more repetition and someone else suggested that we could use dance moves. Another improvement was to improve the lip syncing however, when we watch the music video on a mac computer, the lip syncing fits perfect. At our showcase, the music was slighty slow and behind the video and therefore it seemed to the audience that it didnt fit in well. We got many comments from people saying that there was nothing which we could improve as they thought it was excellent and it enjoyed the video throughout.
Overall, we got very good marks out of 10 with  many people giving us full marks. The lowest  mark we got was a 6 and that was because the person was unsure of what we was showing in our video, and hadnt heard the song before. The average score was 8.4 which as a group we think is very good and we are very pleased with this.


We are very pleased with the feedback we got from the audience, as we spent a lot of time filming and editing our video.

  1. Some subheadings using the question stems would make this easier to identify quickly the relevant information.
