Evaluation-Question Three

What have you learned from our audience feedback?

As Feedback is vital! we posted our video on some social networking sights, to ensure some comments about our music video. It was nice reading what other people thought and everyone seemed to enjoy our video and didn't find it dull or boring half way through, which was our main gaol. But ofcorse with every positive comments you will always get some negatives thrown in there, but as long as its constructive criticism, i am pleased. Firstly we got told to re shoot the entire performance shots we filmed in the Pub, as our teacher thought this was dull and you will loose interest in the audience, this was upsetting to hear but also a good thing as we were still in the editing stage and we knew it wouldn't take long. this is when I then thought of the idea to incorporate Guitar Hero into the performance shots, as i said before its a young peoples game and the audience will be able to relate. 
Another thing that came about from the audience feedback was the lighting in our performance shots, someone said they looked a bit bland and making the setting dull, so the band were shinning out, unfortunately this problem could not be altered on the editing software we were using, final cut pro, as it was a fault when we were filming and we should of noticed this at that time. 
We the did a showing of our video to a small group of people and asked them to write down there thoughts, Majority commented on the quick cut shots at the start of the guitar solo, which i was pleased about and a few said it gave the video some pace and also kept the audience on there feet. This was really good news as that's what we were aiming to do and by the look of things we achieved it. 
Another thing we got from audience feedback was the performance shots needed to be embedded a bit more with full band and it was this that made us re-work the guitar solo portion of the video and we worked in more individual band member shots, this wasn't a problem and easy to to do. 
The feedback was all round good and everyone seemed entertained, and if i was to to do it again i would be careful about lighting the band and the setting as that was our major fault.
