Audience Feedback for Music Video

This questionnaire was filled in by a male student, I am happy with the ratings given. This shows that the male gender can engage with my music video, probably because they can identify with Joel. The only criticisms I received in this feedback is that the narrative became weaker in the middle and it felt like I was editing by effects. I took this on board and during the editing process, I edited the shots in the middle to a fast pacer - I feel this was what the problem was, as the track is quite upbeat, therefore the shots needed to fit with the sound of the track. Additionally, it felt like I was editing by effects as I used the same effect 'cross dissolve' over every shot, I did this to indicate it was a montage; however, as it appeared boring and repetitive I took out some of the effects across each shot or I replaced the cross dissolve with 'dip to black' or 'dip to white' to make the music video more interesting.
 

This feedback was from a female. I am happy that they believed the best part of the production to be the filming/footage as I was the cinematographer during this production and this is is an important part of a production and evidently it is appealing and engaging. From the criticism of this feedback, I did add a fade on the overlap of footage 1 minute in and rendered my music video in order for it to play the whole way through without buffering or the music cutting out. This meant an audience would be able to watch it without any difficulties.

This questionnaire was also completed by a female. This one states that the best part of the production is 'the amount of footage included and the fast pace goes well with the song. I am happy with this feedback as Jill, Joel and I put a lot of time and effort into getting a variety of different shots in different locations, in order to produce an efficient montage. Additionally, I am glad that the fast pace edit goes well with the song as this has met my intentions from when I firs started planning. The criticism I got in this feedback is that I cut some of my footage to early when Jill says 'Sorry', therefore I made this longer so an audience could understand what she said. Also, this feedback suggested that I did not need a transition, but I used a transition to imply the narrative was moving into a different time of the friendship between Jill and Joel. Although, as someone else suggested I was editing by effects, I thought it was unnecessary to have them from shot to shot, so I removed some of them and only used them when I believed them to be the most effective.
