1. Question 3
What have
you learned
from your
audience
feedback?
2. How I conducted
my audience
feedback
I have conducted my research by asking a range
of people the same questions with yes/no answers
and asked them to give me some short written
feedback. This is a simple and effective way to
get the information I need to analyse the
evaluation. It is clear as it can be shown in a
graph/chart and also like the chart with
explanations and advice of how I can improve.

6. Review of feedback
Does the music video link
with the ancilary texts Overall the feedback as been good but there are
areas where there were suggestions where I could
improve the video and ancillary texts.
For the video a comment that came up a lot was that
they did not understand the narrative, I can
understand that as it is hard to think why the main

that linked stronger to the lyrics. Such as the lyrics

was reflecting what he is doing.
The digipak was liked by the people I asked and most
people thought that it looked professional and slightly
more than half of people I asked said they would go

people thought that my music video linked extra content rather than just the online version of the

colours and the pictures that I used on the
Digipak and Avert. This is good as people For the advert the I asked people if they thought that

music video. this inside a magazine. The majority said yes but a few
said no that could have been because they did not
like the design or they think that I could change to
make it better. The possible improvements that they
suggested to improve the advert if I had a chance to
redo it were like slight changes such as the
colours, the font and including more pictures of the
band, I agree with most of what the people had to
say about the advert and the changes could have
been easy and would have not taken too long.
