The document discusses feedback received from audiences on music videos and productions. Artists like Rihanna and Usher note that audiences enjoy music that blends different genres like reggae, hip-hop and R&B, and music that fits various formats from clubs to radio. A student group also learned from conducting research and surveys that their target audience of 14-18 year olds listened to R&B daily and enjoyed music videos with dancing. They incorporated this feedback to influence their own music video, magazine ad, and CD packaging productions. Receiving feedback from audiences both in and out of school helped them identify areas for improvement.

1. Q3. What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

2. “ I think that people are always looking for something that’s new, something different. My music doesn’t have a specific genre, it’s a fusion of reggae, hip-hop and R&B. People haven’t heard a lot of that, and they seem to like it” Rihanna “ There's a record for every situation from the club to the hot radio joint -- all of the songs have the feeling of a format that fit into radio, live performance, video, all of it” Usher

3. … many artists create music as it’s a way of expressing their feelings and it creates a mutual bond between themselves and not only the audience, but their fans. As a group, we LOVE music and feel very strongly about it. We wanted to make a music video that interests us and reflects how we feel towards music so that we could share it with people who have the same interests. We also based our decision by researching who usually requests songs on radio stations and who sends shout outs on music channels. Therefore, we chose a target audience of people from around the ages 14-18 .

5. We arranged a focus group after making our music video, digipak and magazine advert so that we could receive audience feedback. Our audience was not only the people in our media class but also people outside school within our target audience. This allowed us to receive un-bias criticism and helped us realise what we could improve on. We developed the way we received audience feedback by posting our music video on YouTube and Facebook, maximising our audience feedback. We always responded to our audience feedback. We recorded our response with the video camera and used the green screen to make it look more appealing.

10. We found that the audience feedback was a fundamental element in our journey to creating a successful music video, digipak and magazine advert. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to create our production tasks to audience satisfaction and we wouldn't have known what we should and could include. We learned a lot from our audience feedback and it had a huge influence in the way we produced our products.
