Evaluation: Question Three

What have you learned from your audience feedback?



Ancillary Tasks
In order to make sure that my work was appealing for my target audience, I made sure that I gained a lot of audience feedback. I did this by showing my peers as I was going through the development stage of my product and finding out what they thought about. This allowed me to understand what they did and didn't like and allowed them to suggest improvements. From doing this I have learnt how important audience feedback is as they may not have the same preferences as I do therefore making them dislike the style of the product. By gaining audience feedback I am able to understand the different tastes that people have and incorporate them into my product as my product needs to reach a large audience.

I decided to create an image in Wordle using some of the words that we gained through our audience feedback, the image can be seen below:


Music Video
My group and I made sure that we gained a lot of audience feedback in order to carry on developing our product. We were able to show peers in our class and ask whether they thought the style that we were using was a good idea and whether a particular piece of footage worked well or not. In one case, we showed a member of our class a piece of footage which tracked across a location, they suggested that we tried the same shot by using a pan instead as they thought that it may look better. We used their feedback and shot the same shot again using a pan instead of a track and believe that this does work better. This has made my group and I understand how important audience feedback is as previously we had not noticed that the shot didn't fit in well with the rest of our video but because an audience member noticed we were able to change it in time for the deadline.

My group and I also had the priviledge of showcasing our music video to a large audience for a creative arts evening at our school. Once our video had been shown we were able to film some feedback from members of the audience. This was beneficial as they said what they did and didn't like about our product therefore enabling us to make changes before the deadline. I have made a wordle of some of the feedback that we gained and inserted an image of it below:

Due to the fact that my group and I had completed our music video, I decided to put it on my Facebook account. I have taken full advantage of the new technologies that are available to me by doing this as some of my friends have left comments about the video that my group and I have produced. Below are print screen examples of the comments that I have received:
