1. Here are the responses from the my audience
feedback survey that I created on survey
monkey and then posted on the social
networking site Facebook alongside my music
video for the viewer to watch.
Unfortunately I did not receive as many responses as I had
anticipated however I am pleased with the results that I did
get as I understand that people might not be willing to spend
their time filling out a survey if there isn’t a reward in it for
them so I am grateful that 5 people did take the time to
watch my music video and fill out the questionnaire.

I was happily surprised to see that every member of my target audience who
completed this survey agreed that the visuals strongly match the genre of music.
Nobody chose under 4 which shows that my video was a success in that uses genre
characteristics efficiently.
8. I was very pleased about the feedback that I got from my audience about the variety of
shot types and angles that I used as I carefully planned these out to sustain interest
throughout my video and it clearly did engage my audience. I was also very pleased
that a someone picked up upon the handheld shot that I did to make it look as if the
actor was looking at his feet as I wanted to give the video a personal feel to it.
9. Once again the feedback reflecting on the choice of locations was very positive. It
seems like my audience has interpreted the locations in the way I wanted to as they
have pointed out that the locations were ‘chilled’ ‘pretty’ and ‘romantic’ which is what I
wanted to signify using these locations. I was also very pleased that a viewer
understood that the scene where my actor is standing in the empty car par reflects the
artist’s feelings.
10. Two people’s favourite part of the music video was the stop motion animation which I
did expect as I thought that it is something different that will set my music video apart
from others and will stand out and be memorable to the audience. It was interesting to
see that one of the viewer liked the most out of the video the overall feel that they got
from watching it and that it suited the slow calm music. Someone also commented on
the puddle shot with the reflection of sky which I carefully constructed as there was a
repeated focus on the sky throughout all three of my products.
11. My response to feedback
I agree with the majority of answers that I received from my target audience in response to
the question what improvements would you suggest for this music video however
unfortunately I was unable to do some of these despite wanting too. The only way the video
could be longer would be if I used a different song as my footage covered the whole length of
the song. If I were to do this task again I would use a better quality camera as I felt that the
graininess did reduce the overall quality of my video however at the time of filming I did not
have access to any other video cameras. I am actually pleased that I received what may seem
as negative comment that ‘what the video was based on wasn’t clear’ because my music
video is a mix between concept and performance based so it is not meant to make complete
sense but the viewer can still understand that it is about a relationship because of the photos
of the couples. I would use lip syncing aswell as the guitar but for my actor it was too complex
to do both during filming so i would consider doing seperate clips of him playing the guitar
and then singing. I did actually film more night shots however the camera quality in the dark
was too poor to use much of this footage in my final music video.
12. Here is a screen shot of how I
posted my music video and
survey onto the social
networking site Facebook.
Below the post I received a few
additional comments from
friends on facebook. These
were also all very positive and
it was nice to see that my
music video had been so well
received by my target
audience.
13. Overall I was extremely pleased that the comments that I recieved from my
online survey were so positive and the improvements to make were quite
reasonable and ones that I would make if I were to do this task.
The main points that I learnt from this audience feedback are that:
• the locations that I chose were very suitable for the song choice and genre of
music and were also very popular amongst my audience.
•Using different camera angles makes a simple shot interesting.
• the use of different video techniques adds interest to the music video and
keeps the audience engaged (stop motion animation, time lapse of clouds.)
• the performance element of my music video would be more convincing if I
used lip syncing as well as my actor playing the guitar.
