Audience feedback was vital to improving the creator's music video. Feedback was gathered from classmates, teachers, and through an online survey completed by the target audience of 15-35 year olds. The feedback helped identify needed changes such as strengthening the narrative, improving editing techniques, and adjusting colors. Additional filming was done based on feedback to add more shots of the male performer and build his character. Overall, the feedback process allowed the creator to better understand what parts of the video worked and which needed further development and editing to appeal to the target audience.

1. Question 3- What have youlearned fromyouraudience feedback?
My targetaudience forthe genre of musiccan vary fromteenagers toyoungadultsof bothgenders.
AstridS makesindie popmusicthatthe majority of people canenjoy andrelate to.Intermsof my
final videoandancillary tasks, Ibelieve Iwill attractanaudience of 15-35 yearoldswhichisa good
assumption asfrommy audience feedback survey 90.9% of people putthatthey thoughtmyvideo
was made for15-35 yearolds. I believethatif one genderwasmore dominantinmytargetaudience
than the otherit woulddefinitely be femalesasthe protagonistof myvideoisa girl andthe
narrative isa romance between mytwoperformers. Bothmyperformers are 17 whichI think allows
my targetaudience torelate tothemevenmore as they will be of a similarage tomy two
performers andwill understand mystorylineandboththe characterswell. However, myvideodoes
follow aromance storyline whichmaynotappeal toeveryone especially boysorpeople thathave
recently endedarelationship. Ibelieve thatmysongmay attract some alternative audience

The indie style alsoattractspeople thatgoto festivals orgigsregularly anddressina way that

Audience feedback wasvital tothe makingprocess of myproductin orderfor me to produce them
to the bestof myability whichmade me gainfeedback frompeoplethatfittedwithinmytarget
audience because Ibelieved thatthey were the mainpeople whosefeedback wouldhave animpact
on the way I produced andimproved myfirstdraftintomyfinal video. Duringthe process of
planningandthe early production stages, Iconstantly askedmyclassmatesandteachers for
constructive criticismsothatI couldimprove differenttasksasI wentalong. To have proof of this
feedback Ishould have audiorecorded itormade notesbecause I got so much verbal feedback thatI
actedupon withoutproof onmyblog. Moreover, I createdan audience feedback videousing4of my
fellow mediastudentswhowereall 17 yearoldgirlswhichfitsinwithmytarget audience especially
as the dominantgenderformyvideoaudience isfemales. Byusingmediastudents, Iwasable to
gainfeedback froma professional perspective because they all hadtocomplete the same tasksas
me in thiscourse and are well aware of the brief andwhat aspectsaidto a successful finalproduct.
All of themwere helpful bygivingcompliments andconstructive criticismformyfirstdraft. Aimee

whichare aspectstoa strongvideo. Itriedto promptthe feedback byaskingquestions thatI
thoughtwere crucial forme to improve andensure mytargetaudience wouldenjoy myvideo. Sarah
mentioned that“Youcouldplay around withthe colourswhen youcolourgrade it”whichhighlights
the post production stage formyvideoandhow it’svital toeditsome colourstoenhance themand
make the videohave a suitable tone. The mosthelpful feedback they gave me washow to
strengthen mynarrative withmytwoperformers because Iaskedthem“Doyouthinkthe narrative
getsa bitconfusingatthispart” whichthey all agreedwith. My narrative wasclearto themand
understood well howeversome sections of myvideolackedmeaningwhichI’vebuiltupon. Tilly then
gave me advice that“They couldfindeachother at the end”to make it a love story whichwill appeal
to the dominantfemale audience thatI wasaimingfor. I chose to add inmore clipsof the boy
performerwiththe girl astwo shotsalthoughIslowed themdown andputthemin a blackand
white filtertosuitthe endof the song. My thoughts behind thiswere tocreate the videoasa sortof

survey Itriedto gathera range of opinions frompeople thatfitmytargetaudience includingmore
mediastudents togive critical feedback fromatechnical view point. The resultsfrommysurvey
revealed that100% of the people thatfilleditoutenjoyed myvideoandthoughtmyuse of colours

range of shotsand locationsthroughoutonly byalittle bitwiththe use of tone andcolour falling
slightly behind. The twosections thatmyaudience survey taughtme thatI needto improve further
ismy use of editingandmise-en-scene withinthe videowhichIcouldalready tell due tothe factthat
I didn’tuse mucheditingapartfromcuttingthe lengthsof clips. Thissurvey hasallowedme to

crucial question thatI thoughtwasnecessary toinclude inmysurvey wasfor any extracommentary
