1. 3. WHAT HAVE YOU
LEARNED FROM YOUR
AUDIENCE FEEDBACK? By Georgina
Caddy
2. HOW AND WHERE I COLLECTED MY
AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
when I first started collecting feedback I created a
questionnaire and uploaded it onto my blog. The
questionnaire was were I narrowed down my target audience.
However I found it dif ficult getting people to comment on my
blog so therefore I went mainly outside to get my research
such as Facebook. But the most ef fective way to get feedback
was „word of mouth‟ so I asked people at my school to
comment and tell me what they thought of the work.

4. HOW IMPORTANT WAS THE FEEDBACK AS
PART OF THE PROCESS?
My questionnaire at the beginning of my blog told me what
genre I should try and what shots and scenes would work in
the music video, which set up the whole theme and style of
my video.
Audience feedback was very important as it helped me
decided what aspects of my work was good and what would
appeal to my target audience. Audience feedback and
research is a very important aspect of my music video as
Mark Readman said “the most ef fective work was
conventional and carefully researched”.
