Question 3-What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Pitch feedback 1 from Nmeal06

Audience feedback is very useful when creating my work. By having audience feedback it allows me to see what needs improving and developing to make my work more professional and acceptable. I found that questionnaires would not be appropriate for audience feedback, as I was looking more for opinions.

We first have audience feedback when we presented our pitch about our initial ideas for our music video to the rest of the class. We then received feedback from them on both positive and negative thoughts. The negative thoughts were mainly on how to improve the idea and concept. The most common feedback that we received was that the beach was the best idea to choose due to many factors. We then took this advice on board and changed our location to a more local place in the forest. This helped us, as we were able to see the negative side to our idea.

Further on in the process we decided to get audience feedback for our rough cut of the music video. We gathered a small group of people who we felt fitted our genre to watch the video and filmed them providing us with some positive and negative feedback on which we would be able to improve on. From that feedback we found that we needed to improve on our performance element of the music video, as the quality wasn’t very good and that the lip-syncing wasn’t very good. So from using this feedback we were able to improve on our performance and make it more appealing and professional.

Furthermore I then used audience feedback to help me with my digipak and print advert. Audience feedback helped me with choosing which font, colour scheme and pictures to use for my print work. When I created my mock ups of my print work I used audience feedback to help me see what needed improving to make my print work look more professional and relate to the indie genre more.
