Audience Feedback

Through out the whole process of my music video being created and edited, it was vital that I had some audience feedback so I knew what people liked/disliked about my video and whether any changes could be made.

I spoke to my friend Savanna via bbm messenger on my blackberry and asked her what she liked about my music video and what she thought could be improved:














So, from looking at this conversation I can see that Savannah really likes the fact that my music video is all in black and white as it makes it look more professional. Also the performance shots as it broke up the narrative of the edited shots with Elle and Alex together. She said to improve that the editing needed to be more "choppier" so with this feedback in mind I went through all my shots in my music video and for the clips where Elle and Alex are lying on the bed in IKEA, i edited it all to the beat so it looked more choppier and not just a long run of smooth clips.





On the day of the after school viewing of our music video's, some yellow slips of paper were given out for people to say what they liked out our music video's and what were their favourite parts and why. Here are some of the comments my group received:
