Evaluation - Question 4

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

I received feedback on my video from various people. Some where from my targets audience for my genre which is indie, also some where members from my class. I collected the feedback after the viewing of my video in the cinema. Some of the audience feedback was as followed;

- Good establishing shots

- vivid close up shots

- Split screen works well with the narrative of the song

- Lip sync in time with the music 

- Conforms to their genre

- Strong editing techniques

However, although we received those good comments we also had a criticism that kept coming up;

'opening shot too long and some shots were too dark'. After looking back on my own video and reviewing it, i also agreed with these points made. Our opening shot was a bit too long, however, that was meant to be our establishing shot and the beginning and end. 

I feel i have learnt how to edit and shot effectively. Due to the feedback i received i understand which parts of my video i would have changed if i could;
- The parts that were too dark
- The establishing shot at the beginning

i would have made sure we film when the weather was similar and lighten the contrast of some shots. I would also cut a few seconds off of the beginning shot. Although, I'm saying this i do still feel my video was a success and enjoyable to watch. I feel i have meet the needs of my target audience and conformed with the genre.
