FEEDBACK ON MY MUSIC VIDEO.

Today I had the opportunity to receive a large amount of feedback from some of my target audience. This was through allowing a class of year 10's to watch my video and give me feedback on what they thought about it.
Though I am overall happy with my video, I believe that it was important to show a group of my target audience so that it would be able to see what they think about my product. By doing this, I will be able to know whether it would appeal to my target audience or not.

This is positive feedback from Year 10. It shows that I was successfully in my lip syncing, so that my artist looks like she is singing the song. As well as this, it shows that the idea of the past and the black and white effects have been recognised and liked.

Though this is short feedback, it shows that the locations I have chose for my music video have been recognised and liked and the use of the guitar was also effective in regards to the song I chose.

This feedback is positive and shows me that my shots are representative of the lyrics and song and that the actors I used increased this further by acting the role and creating the persona of the characters further.

This feedback is one of the most positive I received back. It shows that they really enjoyed watching my video and they are fans of the song and Taylor swift. This is very positive because it shows that I have aimed music video at the correct target audience and age range.

This again, shows overall positive feedback showing that the flashbacks used were effective and that my target audience has really enjoyed my video.



Overall the feedback that I received from year 10 was very positive, which I was very happy with because it shows that my target audience recognise the important things in my music video and seem very interested and appealed by my music video and song.
By looking at this as a whole, I believe that this was very successful.

ANCILLARY TASK 1 - FEEDBACK ON MY FINAL PRODUCT

Once I had finished creating all of my CD covers. I decided to get feedback from various people. This feedback allows me to understand whether my sections of my CD cover are appropriate for my target audience and whether I have included the conventions needed for my CD cover.

Through asking various peers in my media lessons and my media teacher, I discovered that what I have included and the conventions I have shown throughout my CD cover are essential and are being represented well throughout my CD product.
On the front cover, I have included the name of the artist and the album cover which is vital. Many of my peers liked the image, but improvements included the lighting of the image.
Overall, the back cover feedback was good, with peers saying that the conventions were representative of a real cover, including the track list, website and the image used. As well as this, the continuity was recognised by my peers.
The inside also received successful feedback. My peers liked the way I have used the inside to promote the artist while still allowing the audience to become involved.


After looking at my final product and the images I have of my artist, I have decided that it is important for the front cover to link to my magazine advertisement that I am yet to make for my next ancillary task.
With this in mind, I decided that it would be a useful idea to switch the images of my front cover and inside cover around. This is because I have many images of my artist in the location used for the inside cover. If I use this on the front, it will link nicely to my advertisement and be representative of each other.

FEEDBACK ON MY VIDEO

After almost completing my video, I decided to ask my fellow colleagues and family to write down anything they like about my video and if I should change anything and what this shall be.
This is some of the feedback I received:

I also recieved feedback from my media teacher, both positive and negative.
Overall,the positive feedback included a good use of mise en scene, clear contrasts between the past and the present and a clear sense of personna for the artist.

Though these were all positive, I was also given ideas for improvements. These included the stillness of the camera work, the variety of shots and the length of time each shot is held.
With these in mind, I decided that it wouldbe useful to overlook for my video again to pin point areas in need of improving.
Though out of this, I decided that it might be a good idea to refilm and film more shots for my video, the main actress in my video has recently dyed her hair a darker colour. This is a problem that I will need to overcome when thinking about how to improve my video.

FEEDBACK ON THE SONG

Once choosing the song I was going to use, I asked friends and family on feedback about the song. I asked them to all listen to the song and write what they think would suit well with the song in a music video. I need this to allow myself to find out other peoples ideas and to try and incorporate these into my own music video.

These are some of the feedback I receieved:

Though I only received a small number of feedback, the overall impression was that the song was popular and people enjoyed listening to it (as shown above). The ideas and thoughts I received were parallel to the ideas that I have thought of, which is positive. There was mention in the feedback of the song being very long, but I was unable to find a shorter version to be able to cut the music.This may be something that I will need to think about when starting to create and edit my music video together. Though I think that the song may be challenging because it is long, I believe that I am ready to take on the challenge.
