A2 MEDIA - Evaluation Question 3
- 1. Max Sunnar | DRAFT A2 MEDIA COURSEWORK EVALUATION QUESTION 3 What have you learnt from your audience feedback? Throughoutourprojectme andmy grouprecivedanumberof piecesof feedbackonourworkforthe music video, digipak and posters. This feedback came from our teachers, classmates and target audience andprovidedusinsighton whatis good about our productsas well aswhat improvements could be made. I have been able to use the feedback given to my advantage and improve my work to look better or convey genre conventions further. Music Video: These piece of feedback was left to us by our teacher on Twitterinregardstoour musicvideo,whichwe uploadedto YouTube and tweeted out. After gaining feeedback about our draft music video, we were told by our teacher that our music video needed to have more of a twist. In response we came up with several ideas: 1. We would have a loop connecting the start and the end together (the start is the end with a slight change).The Hunterwill come into the studio at the end, take off his maskand then ashe is walking up to the mic, the video would cut and a black screen would be shown.Matching similarshotsshown at the beginning of the video. 2. Another ending idea would be at the end after “The Hunter” has just killed the victim, a face reveal would be shown showing the mysterious person taking off his mask, to reveal that it is the victim. Which would indicate that he is killing himself. 3. Anotheridea is thattowardstheend of the video,The Hunter (lead singer) appearsatthestudio door wherethe band arewaiting to record;the band (Drummerand Guitarist) lookup and are shown to be shocked/surprised, and the scene cuts to black. 4. Another variation is that all members (lead singer, guitarist and drummer) are there about to start recording,butthen TheHunterwalksthrough thedoor,and allband memberslookup,and itisshown thatthe“The Hunter"takes off hismaskand heisthe sameperson asthelead singer.Thescene would then cut to black. This piece of feedback gave us some advice that made the story of our music video more appealing and interesting rather than be generic and typical of a killer/revenge story.
- 2. Max Sunnar | DRAFT I also created a questionnaire for my target market and classmates to complete. This providedme feedback on what a large range of people though about the video and whether there the video met the target of looking like a video that was ‘Punk’. Here are some of the findings:
- 3. Max Sunnar | DRAFT There was a number of things that I found out from conductingthisquestionnaire.Firstly,Isaw thatmajority of people use their phone as the main way of watching musicvideos.Thisisprobablybecause of ease of access. Additionally, the overwealming majority of people use YouTube to watch music video, in appose to traditional methods like watching on music TV channels like MTV. This wasn’t much of a shock to me as technological developments and the rise of the internet has had a strong impact on how people consume media. I also asked what people likedabout the video and what they would change about the music video. Thisgave use constructive critisismonthe videoandmade suggestingsonwhatwe couldchange.We didn’tgetmany suggestingsonwhatwe couldimprove furtherbutwe still gota few we we tookino account when finishing our video.
- 4. Max Sunnar | DRAFT Digipak and Magazine Advert: I also gained a large amount of feedback from my Digipak and Magazine advert. After giving in my drafts, I revieved a sheet of areas inwhichI couldimprove in.these thingscouldthenbe fixed and added for when the final versions were to be handed in. Feedbacksuchas havingthe release date fall ona Friday,limitthe amountof record labels,changingthe sizeof the parental advisory logowere given. Also, Iwastoldtoadd some formof photography intomy designasitwouldbe be expectedbythe examboard.This made me have to expandmyimaginationtothingof how I couold implement photography while still keeping the simplicity of my intial design. I was also given some positive words on my design on the media department’s twitter account. This made me think that what I was doing was good and motivatedme furthertoensureeverythingthatneededfixingwouldbe effectively to get me the highest grade possible. In addition to comments made by my media teachers, I also received feedback from my classmates and the target market. This feedback was as helpful as the teachers’ feedback as it allowed me to understand how people that listen to the genre of punkthought,asIdonot normallylistentopunkmusicandthereforewouldwanttoconform to genre conventions. To collect feedback, I was given commentson my blog posts as well as had a numberof people completequestionnairesbasedonmyproducts. These gave me an understanding of how the target marketreacted.Italso gave me the opportunitytoget constructive-criticismabout how I could improve my designs, although not a lot was used. Here are some of the comments and opinions on my digipak design. On the left is a few criticisms about my design such as ‘make the red in the maze stand out more’ and ‘text could be larger’.

Similarly, to the digipak’s questionnaire, it also gave me the opportunity to gain constructive-criticism from classmatesand the target market about how I could improve my designs, although not a lot was used.
