Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Feedback Member Element They Liked One Thing They Would Have
Done Differently
Sum It Up in One Word
Rory Giddings Invisible Cuts Separate the cycling shots Smooth
Ross Cogdell Editing fitted Music well Maybe a bit more Lip Syncing Amazing
Jordan Wardle Varied Locations Larger Variety of Shot Types Inspirational
Faegan White
Consistent Theme
throughout
Not very strong narrative
Although may be appropriate Holiday
Josh Sullivan
Shots worked well with
music choice
Make the colours more
vibrant and vary transitions Decent
Maz Upson
Perfect Lip syncing, cuts to
the beat Wider range of shot types Fun
Liam White
Clear Narrative and well
put together shots/edited
Remove more of the Fisheye
from the GoPro Extraordinary
Kieran Goodall
Short bursts of shots are
effective to genre
Fast Montage would have
been effective at the end Fast
Lucy Edmunds
Different Locations and
Editing
More Lip Syncing or Lyrics on
screen Inspirational
Angus Smith
Good flow and fits song
well Fisheye effectsremovedmore Energetic
Georgia R-T Really nicely edited
Different Panning shots
affected smoothness. Inspiration
Ben Anderson
Clearly meets conventions
of the genre through shots
and locations.
More footage of protagonist
rather than POV Excellent
Jonathan Miller
Various locations gave a
great impression of travel
Vary the cycling shots at
different points in the video Awesome
Laura Staton Veryeffective against song
– feel good.
More Lip Syncing could have
linked the video more
Epic

Variety of shots and
locations fitted well
