Evaluation Question: What have you learned from your audience feedback

What have I learned from Peer Feedback

Alisha and I created a questionnaire each (due to us sharing a music video) which we sent out to gain feedback our video, my digipak and my homepage.

These were the questions asked:

Video:

In terms of my video my audience generally praised the narrative of the video. In particular the performance of James as the lead singer/guitarist and statue received universally positive feedback. We were also praised for our reference to doctor who, meaning that the audience appreciated the intertextual reference.

Of the question in Alisha’s separate questionnaire, 6 of the comments had praised our narrative. This is a relief as the narrative was the most important aspect too our video with the performance element not being as important to us. One person commented saying that they liked the twists in the video to make the narrative light hearted and that it was an interesting take on our stalking idea. Our editing was also described as smooth and non confusing.

From both questionnaires we have been told that it was well shot, although a recurring suggestion is that we use more tracking shots within out video. While tracking shots were something we attempted to do, we ultimately decided to leave them out due to the footage not looking effective on camera. This was the only main suggestion for improving our music video.

From this I’ve learned that our video was very popular however a lot of people would have preferred to have some more creative shots within the video.

Digipak:

As I worked on my digipak alone there was only one questionnaire that I used to source information from. I asked the question what was good about my digipak and what could be improved. One improvement suggested was to have one background for all of the photos as the photos did not share a common background. The other improvement was to add colour however this is not useful feedback as it goes against the idea I wanted for a folk rock themed digipak.

Webpage: 

All of the people who took part in my questionnaire said that my webpage was easy to navigate. It was praised for its colour scheme and consistent style however some criticisms were that it might be a good idea to have a preview of the song in MP3 format for those who are not able to use YouTube and that it could also be a good idea to include a latest news section which would save people having to go to there from the home page.
