Evaluation
Question 3
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
The main information I got from this focus group was:
- The mise-en-scene suits the indie-pop genre, particularly the costume and props.
- The overlapping of shots was very effective.
- Shots worked well with the lyrics and represented them effectively.
- Some of the shots could be considered too long.
- The abstract theme was different and would stand out from the rest.
- The slow motion effect worked well with the lyrics and beat of the song.
Asking peers to watch my music video and tell me what they like and don't like:
The audience feedback of my music video helped me a lot as I tried to ask peers that would be in my target audience, therefore their opinion really mattered to me. A lot of the people I asked were media students, therefore their feedback was relevant and related to mise-en-scene, cinemotgrpahy and editing, meaning they gave advise on how I could improve those areas. The first piece of audience feedback I got was from my media teacher. One of her suggestions was to 'take out some of the bedroom scenes as it makes the video look less 'realistic' and makes it look like it has being filmed in a normal bedroom'. I took this advice into consideration and made alterations to my video, which I believe improved the overall appeal of my video. For example:
This section of my video was when the lyrics 'Feeling super, super, super suicidal' were playing, filmed inside of my bedroom. I chose to remove this clip as following the advise given from my audience feedback. After watching it I did realise that it didn't look professional and the poor lighting in the location reduced the camera quality.
I chose to replace the clip with the clip above, a slight high angle of waves on the beach with an overlay on top with reduced capacity of yellow flowers. This followed the mise-en-scene and ideology of my video and I think overall made it look more professional.
