1. For this assignment I had to pick two jingles I made which I thought were the 2 best out of all the
others. I needed some form of feedback to see whether my jingles were as good as I thought. I
designed an online survey on survey monkey. I put together 10 important questions which would
help me analyse my work, to find people’s opinion on my jibngles and to get some constructive
criticism. In this document I will present the feedback I got in form of easy to understand graphs and
I will explain what I found out with the information I received.
NOTE: Some questions had an option saying if you do not like something about my jingles, please specify. So I can use it as
constructive criticism. Someone who has a reason to dislike them would leave a reason. But someone who has no reason,
feels less intelligent, feels insecure because of my work, is just plain jealous or is too stupid to read would not leave
reasons and just click the DISLIKE option as an answer, which unsurprisingly happened a few times.Therefore I did not take
these kind of answers seriously.
question 1.What are your thoughts on my jingles?
Chart Title
0%
10% 0%
excellent
good
50% average
40%
poor
awful
Ofcourse the big question from my point of view was did people like my work? This graph shows
50% said it was excellent, 40% said it was good and 10% said average. So this shows that people
liked my jingles.
Question 2. What music genre(s) do you like
rock
Chart Title hip hop
metal
3% pop
3%
7% 14% jazz
RnB
10% 13% Dubstep
3% instrumental
13% 10% electric
country
10% 7%
anything popular
7%
anything unpopular
This question would help me in the future because it helps me find people’s interests and their taste
in music. Using this I can now make a jingle that most people would like. The most liked genre was
2. rock and the least favourite/listened to were country, anything popular and instrumental. Though
the anything popular is not a valid genre it still helps me collect valuable data because there are
people out there who actually prefer anything popular.
Question 3.Do any of my jingles match your choice of genre? If so, which one and how does It match your
No, None of the
jingles cross my
choices
Yes
choice?
50% people said they didn’t like my jingles, 50% did. When it came to asking why they didn’t like the
jingles only 3 out of the 5 people who said they don’t like it actually left some feedback giving a
reason to why they did not like it. This shows that the other 2 were either too stupid to read/type or
just clicked it because they knew my work is better than theirs. And because I’m better looking.
Question 4.With little or no knowledge of any editing software, do you think these jingles sound
professional or unprofessional
Chart Title
22% Professional
Non-
78% Professional
78% of the lab monkeys who took my survey said my jingles sound professional, the other 22%
said it was non professional. I took this in account to see why people thought it was non-pro and
most of them said because my jingles were funny. I disagree with that because a jingle can be of
many kinds, dark and depressing, happy, hyper, boring or funny. My target was to make my
jingles funny and enjoyable, which I clearly achieved so I am satisfied by the criticism shown in
these answers.
3. Q.5 Were the jingles clear enough to understand? Or were they too distorted?
clear
distorted
skipped
question
99% people said my jingles were clear, no one said distorted however someone skipped this
question.
q.6Do you think my jingle(s) are good enough to air on radio? If so, which one and why? If not,
why?
Yes, they are good
for radio (Please
specify why in the
comment box)
No, They are not
(please specify in
comment box)
skipped
99% of the people who answered this said my jingles are good enough to air on radio! Some even
left some feedback telling which jingles or why they think they are good. In the section where they
left written feedback it said both my jingles were good enough, someone said the 1st one Is good and
someone said they have a catchy tune which will bring people around. The green part of the pie
shows someone skipped the question.
4. Q.7 How was the quality of the recordings? What makes it good or bad?
The quality was
good
The quality was
average
The quality was
rubbish
Most of the people said the quality of the recordings was good, some said average and none said it
was bad.
Q.8 Do you think professional equipment was used to record these jingles or just normal cheap
equipment?
Chart Title
9%
Professional
18% Cheap
55% I don't know
18% other
As the graph shows, most people (55% precisely) said the equipment used to record the jingles
sounded professional, 18% said it seemed cheap, 18% said they don’t know and 1 person filled the
other section. It said ‘’I don’t know the difference between the two’’ I think that is a very
reasonable and fair answer.
5. Q.9 Overall what would you rate my jingles out of 10?
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
Average ratings I got were 8,9 and 10. However I did get a few 1,2,3 and 4s with no reason given
with them, which is very annoying and pointless.
q.10How do you suggest i could improve my jingles?
No improvement needed
I suggest…
60% of the people said my work didn’t need any improvement, though that is a good thing It doesn’t
really help me as much as it would if I got feedback in the ‘’I suggest you could improve by’’ section.
When I opened this section to see the feedback left by people, I was very pleased to see the advice
and suggestions given were fair and would actually help me improve.
6. Conclusion
Overall the feedback I got showed me my jingles were 8.5 to 9 out of 10 including the recording
quality, the editing skills, the music and the voice over. This score was estimated excluding all the
unnecessary feedback i.e the low ratings left with no reasons to back them up. I can improve by
using better background music, more sfx effects and to make a wide variety of different kinds for
people with different tastes. I learnt that I am on the right track and don’t need much improvement
but could achieve better grades with a little improvement.
