3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Once we had created our music video, we had to go about getting audience feedback for it. Therefore, we first asked people in our Media Class to tell us verbally what they thought of the video we had produced. One person in our class told us that, “It is what a well-made music video and it looked professional”. Off this feedback, we learnt that we made a right choice at the begging of the year to use our own SLR cameras, as this would give a more defined and more professional look to the music video.

Another person in our class told us that, “It is lip-synced extremely well”. From this feedback, we learnt that having Sarah and James act was a good choice because they were both extremely well at lip singing. Some parts of the Eminem’s wrapping were difficult to do so it took us a fair few attempts to synchronize them up with the song on the music video. Moreover, when Sarah was doing the first words “On the first page…” because of the speed this was going we took us many attempts to match it when she was acting. She started either singing a second too early, or milliseconds too late. Once they had gotten used to the lip singing they were both very good at it and usually pulled it off first time with no mistakes.

Once we had received all the feedback we could from our classmates, we then had to come up with another way of getting audience feedback. We discussed it with each other and finally came up with a good idea of putting our music video on Facebook. By putting it on Facebook everyone could watch it, comment what they liked, and give criticisms.

One the video was uploaded onto Facebook we all published it on our walls and asked people to comment on it.

We then started getting comments and likes of people, in these comments of people they told us what they liked and some even gave a good detailed review what was good about it.

Ryan Nelis gave us a good point by telling us that the music video we had produced felt like a real music video you would see on TV. Savanna White told us that the lip-syncing was very good. Daniel Robinson gave us some good feedback telling us; that it put across the emotions of the song well. It also presents the problem of domestic violence without showing th

e actual violence, just the emotions. Then we got good feedback off Sam Tierney say how the lip-syncing could not be faulted, and how it felt as though it was real arguments taking place. He also said how he liked how the music video was introduced, with the couple sitting on the couch doing some acting without music.

Off all feedback we learnt that the music video we had created had a very realist feel to it, and it shown the problem of domestic violence without having to show any physical abuse happening. It seemed to be that we had all positive feedback and no one wanted to give us negative feedback, so we must have done a good job on it.
