Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

1. Question 3: What have you
learned from your audience
feedback?

2. Were the conventions picked up?
• The audience responses
overall seemed to show that
the genre of the video was
recognised as indie.
• The face that I originally used
these conventions to show
this proved that I overall
succeeded at the convention.

3. Were the conventions picked up? (continued)
• I also asked if the video was
particular of the genre.
• The response was
overwhelmingly “Yes”
highlighting again that the
codes and conventions were
typical of a folk indie video.

4. Evaluation of comments
• I also asked the audience for the
best thing about the video.
• The main theme seemed to be the
masks and the narrative- I wanted
the masks to be the constant force
driving the narrative throughout due
to the meaning they had behind
them.
• I was also happy due to the fact that
the overall narrative was open to
interpretation which was positive
since someone in these comments
picked up on my overall narrative of
domestic violence.

5. Evaluation of comments (continued)
• I asked my audience to evaluate the
worst thing about this video.
• From the comments I could also back
up the fact that I had problems with the
shots and overall colour of the video.
• Due to the nature of the indie genre,
certain challenges were in place limiting
the amount of colour that I could have
for the forest etc.
• This would be something I would have
worked on due to the blurriness of
shots in places. I worked to aid some of
this in my piece but some did not fit
which can overall explain the jumpiness
between shots in parts.

6. Evaluation of comments (continued)
• In terms of
improvements I could
see that some shots
would need to be
retaken in order to make
the video clearer both in
picture and narrative.
• I can also see that the
angles could have had
certain improvement to
it.
• Otherwise there was
generally nothing that
needed improvement.

7. Comments to myself
• Overall if I could film this again I would ensure that every shot was in
fact clear for my video.
• I would have taken more time for my masks making sure they were
coloured and much clearer.
• I would have also made sure that there was more light for my video, I
originally thought that the wolf scenes would have worked better in
the dark but personally it could have worked much better in a greater
amount of light.
• I could have also made sure that there was less jumpiness between
shots in order to aid the overall idea of the narrative.

8. In reflection
• Overall the video
worked well.
• The responses were
still positive while
still constructive for
me.
• Although there was
some improvement
needed it was found
that my video
generally conveyed
the storyline
positively.
