EVALUATION Q3: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?
We got the class to watch our video and fill out a form with positive and negative feedback to our music video.
This was one of the feedback forms we received back, they rated our video 4 out of 5 stars which we were pleased with. The criticism from this group was to possibly include different shots from the one's we used. This was something that me and Emily found helpful, as we filmed we were unsure whether our range of shots were enough for the criteria. However, they complimented our transitions throughout the video which was reassuring as we were also concerned about the smoothness of it, as we didn't want it to be wobbly or uneven.
This is the next feedback form we got back.
These people felt that our opening shot was a little too long and should have been cut into several different shots instead of one long shot. Looking back and evaluating our video, I understand their opinion on the first shot as it may seem to last a long time. However, the decision to keep the shot for a lengthy amount of time was intentional as it reinforced the genre of soul. Normally, with soul singers the lead singer has shots focused on them for long periods of time, therefore, we felt reinforcing this would be good to show our understanding of the genre of the song. However, these people did think our lip syncing was good, which again is reassuring to know.
This is another feedback form we received.
This person gave us 5 stars overall which is really, really positive and nice for us to know. This makes us believe that all our hard work paid off as we have produced something that we're proud of and something that people really enjoy too. These people left no critical feedback for us, which is really motivating for us as it makes us feel like we have done our job properly.
From this feedback, I have discovered that the opening shot may seem a little over used to some people but the underlying message behind it outshines that for me and Emily as the producers. A lot of people like the transitions and the lip syncing which is great to know as we were most concerned about these two elements in particular so it allows us to know that people have enjoyed our music video just as much as we do.
After speaking to several people when they have watched our video, the majority mentioned the emotion it brought them. They said that the narrative within made them feel emotional due to the real pictures of the family growing older together etc. I feel this links to the use of gratifications theory. For some audience members, they could watch our video for escapism. However, the most common reason to watch our music video would be for pleasure. This allows the audience to feel emotional satisfaction which is an outcome suggested in the gratifications theory. Our music video aimed to upset people in a positive way to make them appreciate their lives. Therefore, if the audience watched our video and felt the emotion intended, they will indeed feel the emotional satisfaction that we as the producers and directors wanted, making our video a success.
From all of the feedback we as a group received, I noticed that a lot of positive comments were about the narrative, the shot types and the lip syncing. This is very important for us to know that our finished product had the effect on the audience we wanted it to e.g. reinforcing the gratifications theory about emotional pleasure was an achievement for us as this is what we intended to do and we adhered to it. The negative feedback is useful, it's critical and depicts the more specific moments within our video. An example of this is, the long shot used at the beginning of our video. Although, we can justify our reasons for using this long shot, some audience members may react differently to it, see it as boring or not see the importance of the shot. This feedback although, not as positive is still essential so that next time we were to create a video we know what not to do and what to exceed in without boring our target audience.
