Evaluation question 3 ppt
- 1. Evaluation question 3 What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
- 2. From my rough cut I learnt.. what the audience liked about my video which was that they liked the stop motion and the time-lapse elements. Furthermore this made me try and include more of them in my music video. When I asked what could be improved, the feedback was that the clips were too long and that I should take the obvious transitions out and replace them with fades and dissolves.
- 3. Also I was told the guitar playing needs to look more professional. However, singer songwriter genre isn’t always like that and my music video could be argued to highlight the artist getting it wrong and practising song in different places. Also this makes it more personal which singer songwriter genre is. Furthermore I created another time lapse which fits in well with the song and two stop motion shots.
- 4. After I added all these elements in which greatly improved my music video from the rough cut I asked for some more feedback. The negative feedback I got was that the time lapse should have gone on for longer, for example until it got dark to reinforce the idea of time passing and it would relate to the lyrics further. However this is hard realistically to pull off as you have to rely so much on the weather when doing outside time-lapses and you have to stand outside for such a long time.
- 5. I produced a questionnaire to help me get feedback on my music video and ancillary products. I also asked people of a wide age range, to make sure there are widespread views as different people of different ages may feel differently about my music video and it will appeal to some ages more than others.
- 6. Questionnaire Please circle when given the option and write your answers in the space provided. Are you? Male Female Which age group are you? 10-20 21-50 51-70 71-90 What did you like most about the music video ? narrative performance meaning and concept

- 8. From this questionnaire I found that .. the stop motion I used and built on was extremely popular, as in nearly all the questionnaires it was mentioned in the ‘name two impressive elements’ question whereby many answered the candles and heart stop motion element. The animation created under the tree was also mentioned on several occasions and the time-lapse throughout the music video to show the change in time. This reaffirms that it was the right thing to add in more of the stop motion and time-lapse.
- 9. I also asked what needs to be improved and I found that many thought the guitar playing needed to appear more in time with the music, also it was commented that these parts didn’t look realistic enough. People most liked the meaning and concept of my music video and how the meaning was portrayed and enforced through not only my music video but across my ancillary products as well. When asked what genre they would put my music video and ancillary products into, everyone said singer songwriter which is what I was going for, with the artist writing and practising the song throughout.
- 10. Some of my audience also thought the protagonist had written the song himself which conveys that the way I have constructed star image in my music video and ancillary products is affective as this is what I wanted to convey. Furthermore on some occasions country was circled as well. This was because of the countryside shots and scenery which was displayed. Seeing as I asked a wide age range some of the older members I asked said it was Romance because of the representation and construction in which it was portrayed. This teaches me that the conventions i portrayed were of a romantic nature which is what I wanted it to convey.
- 11. The last question I asked was does it appeal to your age range. It seemed to appeal to from the early twenties upwards someone in the 10-20 age range said that he felt that it didn’t appeal to him because it contains more adult meaning and concept. My age range was really over 30’s, furthermore all those with an age range of over thirty said that the music video appealed to them therefore through this questionnaire I have learnt that all my product appeal to my target audience.
