Audience feedback




These are three of the ten audience feedback questionnaires that I made and gave to random people throughout the college. I found the information helpful in understanding what other people thought of my music Video. I picked three of the ten questionnaires at random. As you can tell the response wasn't great but I did not expect a good response as it was my first time producing a music video. When I set out to the audience feedback I didn't want compliments I wanted to know what my flaws were whilst producing the questionnaire. Even if they can be seen as being low scores I see them as being positive because it shows that I have got understanding in creating music videos. I also got additional comments when I went to go and collect the questionnaires some people said "It was unique and different" and this is what I set out to do. Most of the people can be seen to have enjoyed the music video. People can be seen to have understood slightly what the narrative was to my music video but I wanted to open the narrative to interpretation so the audience could have there own reading and narrative to it also. People said that they thought my music video could clearly be seen to "not have the look of a professional music video but has the underlying conventions of a music video". Most people would watch this on the TV and one person even said "I could picture it now on an alternative music channel" this really made me feel as if I had produced a unique and different kind of music video. this was what I set out to do. Most people agreed that I had chosen the right artist for the shoot and this was one of the key things that I wanted and that was to have the right actress who could act and also turn on emotions with the click of a finger. Overall I am happy with the Questionnaire findings.



This is the You tube statistics button that can be found below my video on You tube. It is great that technology now allows you to see how much of a success your video has become and the findings were just what I wanted to see. My music video has received 490 views in under a month and that number keeps on rising, this was great to see that such a wide range of people had viewed my video, also the video has been popular with the audience that I wanted to target. The video was most popular with people aged between 12-24 and this both being male and female. clearly showing that there was a connection between the video and this age group. By the use of technology I have been able to share this you tube clip on various different forms of media such as Twitter, facebook, tumblr and many other sites. this is were the audiences are and my age group lie. By targeting a social networking site I knew that it would boost my viewings and ratings up. My video currently has three likes and no dislikes. This is a great in site into how my music video is doing on the Internet.

My Ancillary texts Audience Feedback was also very good. The audience took well to both the Internet homepage and also the Poster. I went around my college and took paper copies of both my Ancillary texts with me and asked for opinions on what people thought of the texts. I got both negative and positive reviews but was mostly looking for negative reviews to know what I needed to work on. The negative criticism was mostly about the layout of my poster so as soon as people gave me the information I was straight onto Photoshop to change the problems that I faced. People that had watched the music video said that the Ancillary texts worked extremely well with my music video and could see the connection between the texts and my Music video, I was also praised on my photoshop editing and people liked the way that I had integrated a marbled effect to my website and also in my Poster. People also commented and praised the fact that it was simple to read and understand but also had a "powerful statement" to make but in a very delicate and simple way. Overall people were pleased with my Ancillary texts and said magazines and Internet homepages should be more like my Products. I have got the basic elements of an Internet web page and also a Magazine poster with my own unique style to them but sticking with the narrative and style of the music video.
