Audience Feedback: Video







Keira's feedback!

Here are the results from five questionnaires i handed out to my friends and family, i included a wide age group and both genders so my feedback is not bais.

Here is an example of my questionnaire i have picked this one as i think it is a good representative of all five people asked.

1. For question one all participants agreed that the product was typical of a music video and said that the editing fit the music well and the visuals matched well with the lyrics.
2. for this question two of my participants said that they didnt feel my video stood out from the typical, however two participants mentioned the split screens as being different and the clsing scene and different location shots were mentioned as being different and standing out.
3. All five of my participants felt my music video worked well, because of the edditing which was said to have a good "variation in speed" and "match the pace of the music well".  As well as it "making you want to see what happens next".
4. All of these elements were mentioned as being impressive/interesting, the split screens, the reverse editing, the speeded up editing of the clouds in the sky and the colour grading in this scene as well as the editing of the closing scene.
5. One important comment that was mentioned in all of my feedback for this question was that some of the shots at the beginning of the video are too long, one participant also said that the shots were repeated and there could of been some more variation.
6. All of the people who participated in my feedback agreed that the pace of the video did suit the product well.
7.5/5 people said yes you can tell that the genre is indie.



Laura's Feedback

I also gave out five questionaires though I only gave them to people between the ages of 17 and 21. Here is a summery of the feedback I reveived from doing so:

1) Two of the questionaires stated that the music video was typical of a music video. This was because the music fit well with the action showing clear story lines with the words used throughout the song. It was also fun to watch which again is typical of a music video. The other three questionaires however stated it was not completely typical of a music video as there was various different story lines used, all quite random, and actions fit with words rather than showing the band themselves lip synching. Some of the editing was also different to what is expecting in a typical music video ie- the reverse shot of a girl walking over the road.

2) All five questionaires picked out points from the music video that made it different. The most common points picked out were the reverse shot of a girl walking accross the road, the banners used holding up words along with split screen of the banners and the many different storylines used.

3) All five questionaires stated that the music video does work as it relates to the music well and is fun to watch making it enjoyable to watch time and time again. One of the questionaires also stated that more shots could have been used however to make the video work even more.

4) Out of the five questionaires completed, the two elements that were seen as being interesting during the music video were how the music fit the lyrics of the music making the audience want to watch more and the split screen used during the chorus of the song as it was different to a typical music video.

5) Three of the questionaires agreed that more settings and characters were needed to make the video stronger, the other two questionaires stated that more shots were needed to keep interest at the beginning of the music video.

6) Each questionaire gave the same answer for this question, the pace of the music video is typical for this kind of product as the actions keep in time with the rhythm.

7) The genre of the music video was picked out by all the questionaires answered as it was Indie. The audience could tell this from the song itself, the settings, actions and storylines used and the non-typical elements to the music video ie- split screen, reverse shot of girl ect.

In conclusion I think the music video was successful in entertaining and providing the elements needed to make an Indie music video.


Viki's Feedback
Like the other members of my group, I also gave out five of the same questionnaires, I gave them to people aged between 16 and 20, males and females so my results would not be one sided.

1) Two of the participants said it was typical of a music video as they said they could watch it over and over again, but they still wouldn't get bored of it.

2) Three of the participants stated that our music video was not typical of one you would usually watch, they said this because not once through the entire video do we see the artists face, all we see are random shots and different story lines.

3) All my participants said that our music video worked very well, they all said they liked how the lyrics of the song matched with the visuals of the video.

4) The elements that seemed to interest my participants the most were the speeding up of the clouds and the girl walking backwards across the road.

5) 80% of the participants said that the shots on the chorus of the song were repeated too much, however they said that they were well varied therefore they were not bored whilst watching them. Two participants also said that some of the shots were a bit too long.

6) All five of the people who took part in this questionnaire said that the pace of the video was typical of this kind of product, as everything was kept in time with the beat of the music.

7) All five participants answered 'indie' as the genre of the video.

After conducting this questionnaire, i believe that our music video has been a great success. I believe the most succesful part was our editing as this proved to be a big hit with all the participants.
