From starting our project we had two in school opportunities to get feedback on our ideas and product from other people. The first opportunity we had was during the research and planning stage where we got to pitch out ideas to others and given them feedback paper slips for them to fill out.
As it was such an early stage in the project the feedback slips only consisted of only three questions:
- What ideas did you like?
- What ideas didn't you like?
- What can we improve on?
Even though the questionnaire was brief it proved successful in giving the information we needed before beginning the production of our project. The most useful question we asked was the last one 'What can we improve on?', most people gave very good responses ranging from adding a shot to specific scene to suggesting another editing technique. Over all the response was well and the audience and also our target audience (teenagers) like the pitch. This meant our target audience had faith in our ideas and this gave us more confidence to explore our levels of creativity further.
Feedback 2
The second time that we got the opportunity to showcase our product was at a post production stage, we had a meeting in the schools hall, where our music video was shown, as the audience in the hall consisted of other media students and extra people that came along we had plenty of people to gain feedback off. This time round I constructed a more specific questionnaire that was oriented around our music video. The questionnaire contained the following questions:
- What type of music video do you think it is?
- Was the lip syncing successful?
- Was the purpose of the black and white scenes and colour scenes clear?
- Do you think the locations were interesting?
- Did you like the shots used?
- Do you think our music video met the conventions of music videos?
- How could we improve our music video?
-Any other comments...
This was a strong questionnaire as it made the audience think about every aspect of the music video and comment on them.
Positive points
The majority of the feedback we received form out audience was positive. The advantages of receiving possitive feedback with detail, let i know what worked well in our music video, so we could use that technique/shot again in any future production we made create. We could also gather what was a more popular aspect of the music video, one scene that did seem to to get more comments on than others was the hand held camera scene and how the perspective jumps into the hand held camera.
Negative points
I personally feel that negative points are more important than the positive ones as it gives me incentive to improve my work and broaden my creativity. The most criticised aspect of our music video was the locations, it appears that some of the locations were not interesting enough "Could have found a better location than a living room", I agree with this comment as it was a dull location, we had originally planned for it to be filmed in a restaurant but the idea caused too many problems and was discarded. Another comment was "a bit blurry" i feel this comment was irrelevant as the quality of the cameras was out of my hands and we made the best out of what we were given.
