3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

I made this image on wordle.net. This is a number of words which I gathered from audiences including from my survey results and voxpop as to what they like to see in a music video. It also includes what people on the internet have said about music videos and what they expect to see. 

 I found this website where someone was asking audiences what teenagers expect and like to see in a music video.

This was someones answer on the website.







VOX POPS!

Thea was in my group for this research task and we decided that she would be asking the questions we created to our audiences.







We had three people who we recorded their answers. They all said they watch music videos. One of our respondents said that he enjoys 'Eminem - Berserk' due to the high and low angle shots used for variety. Another of our respondents said that they enjoy music videos with a storyline relating to the artists life such as Johnny Cash's 'Hurt'. The last respondent said that he enjoys comical music videos.

One opinion was that music videos allow the imagination to run free and be creative. Another was the way in which it portrays the artist. WHAT MAKES A GREAT MUSIC VIDEO? responses included        something eye catching and relating to the song. They use their phones, the internet including websites like youtube, and television such as MTV to watch music videos.

I believe that my audience feedback was included in my research and gave me ideas about the music video I was going to create. I believe that I need some more audience feedback for my actual music video and I welcome criticism. I am going to ask a few people to watch my music video and create a video of their responses.

I have learned that audience feedback is essential during the research and preparation of the product you are going to make.

Do you like it? If the audience enjoy your product then you know it is going to be quite successful. However if you do not gather any information or opinions on the product you have made/are going to make, then this could cause it to be a complete failure. I believe that my audience feedback allowed me to create a music video which teenage girls would enjoy. However, the audience feedback which I got through my VOX POP did not include a girls point of view as the respondents were all boys. This is what I could have worked on and could have included a female point of view as my music video is mainly aimed at young teenage females. This could have helped to improve my ideas for my final product, however, I believe that due to the audience feedback being mainly male, I was able to think of some things which they may enjoy about a music video and include these. This would allow me to widen my target audience to all teenagers.
