What have you learned from Audience feedback?
For our Final Cut of out music video, I asked some viewers to let us know what went well as well as what went wrong. The people we asked were within our target market so that we could have more reliable answers as well as so we can be properly criticized by the people the video was aimed for.
Our Primary Audience is are Young males, around ages 13-20. This is because that is typically the age group who like to listen to the Rock/Alternative Rock genre. They would also be the outgoing type due to the "Go out and Party" nature of the songs lyrics
One of the things the audience feels we have done well on is the use of lighting. They feel that the studio lights were used effectively in creating a professional, studio like atmosphere that we were aiming for in out music video. Another point they felt that we did well on is the use of Mise-en-scene. Yet again they felt that they were convinced that the performance section of the music video was filmed in a performance studio that most bands could have access to. Futhermore, they agreed that even without the music playing out loud, they feel they could correctly guess the genre of music video it is by simply watching the videos visuals i.e. Use of Guitars/drums.
However there are some aspects that they feel we fell flat on. The most glaring is being that most of them could not seem to understand what the narrative was about. They couldn't tell what was going in between the performance sections and often had to be told what exactly was going on. This was a big problem we had as if the audience can't understand the narrative section, they will effectively be cut off from half of the music video. We feel that if we had included some sort of prompt at the beginning or was a little less subtle in what the narrative was about then we may have avoided this problem.
Another glaring problem was that the audience indicated that there were times where the audio would go out of sync with the video. However this could be due in part to the import process from the original file into the Youtube copy and that during that process the video de-Synced in places, However it could simply be that we edited the video wrong in places and is still an issue.
Overall I feel that I agree with the audience feedback that was given and have taken it on board as constructive criticism.
