Week 14: Feedback

We held a screening at Redcliffe's 'Film Night'. We wanted to ask people who obviously had an interest in media and film products, but didn't necessarily study the subject to get an outsiders point of view. We asked a group of year 12's, who fit perfectly into our target audience, about what they thought of the video.

Becky came up with a few questions to ask our viewers:

-Did you enjoy watching the music video? Yes or No
-Did you understand the concept of the video?
Yes or No
(If no, what didn’t you understand?)
-Did you think the visual went with the music?
Yes or No
-Did the music video remind you of any other music video?
-Was there anything that you didn’t enjoy about the video?
-Any thing else you would like to comment on?

One person said: "I thought the video was original and unique, I've never seen anything like it".
Another said: "I liked the video, it was funny but it the intro was way too long..."

The first quote stood out to me the most, because we wanted to create a satirical music video that still had an element of originality - for an outsider to say that about our product, it really makes me think that we accomplished what we set out to do. I do agree that introduction to the video was long, but we liked it that way!

I posted our album cover onto my flickr page and it immediately got lots of comments. I thought putting our work online was a good way to get feedback from various people. An art student said: "I love the vibrancy and colour, it's really eye-catching". We wanted to have an albun cover that was a reflection of the song, not the band - I think we achieved this by focusing on the bigger picture and trying to remain cohesive, with all of our products correlating.

Many people thought that the blue writing on the advertisement stood out, this is positive news - if this were to be on a billboard, it would attract alot of attention.

I'm yet to find out what the band have to say!
