Audience Feedback...

I got my friends that were in the performance parts of our video to watch what we had done so far in terms of editing our music video and it turns out that people like our video so far! However we did get some feedback from them that some parts of the video didn't look as though they were completely in time with the beat of the music but that can be easily fixed and - apart from being embarresed by seeing themselves in our video - they really enjoyed the video so far!

Not only did we print some of these out and get people to physically fill them out, but I thought it would also be a good idea to send the questions out via Facebook. This is a fast, easy way to gain information from a larger number of people. Here is a print screen of the message that I sent out to a number of different people;

Here are three different responses that got sent back to me via Facebook. I think this was a very effective way of gathering information for our own research as it was fast and lots of people had easy access to the questionnaire.

Group Meeting: Treatment/Pitch Audience Feedback...

After we had carried out our treatment presentation to the class, we got them all to write down what they thought of our ideas for our music video etc. and this is what they came up with.

Treatment/Pitch Video...

As part of our treatment we carried out a presentation to the rest of our class in order to express our ideas, etc. We also printed out our more detailed treatment document (which I posted in a previous blog and handed out to our audience. We also filmed our treatment presentation so that we could put it onto our blogs;

Our Treatment Document...

As part of the production process of our music video for Kings Of Leon's 'Charmer', we thought it would be interesting to produce a treatment and present it to an audience in order to gain some feedback on our initial ideas for the music video.

This is the document that we handed out to our audience which contains detailed explainations of our concept and pictures that reflect our ideas. The purpose of this document was to ensure that the audience understood and got a firm grasp of our concept and reason why we chose this concept.
