Audience Feedback

To collect my audience feedback i had written feedback, used survey monkey and even video responses but now i needed to analyse the research. In order to collect all my responses into one coherent picture i used Wordle. Which is a website that collects all the words used in analysing my work and present it in a way that shows the most common responses being displayed larger than others.Using wordle is very helpful as not only can i quicky analyse the most repeatitve responses but it also displays it in a visual pleasing way that makes it more nice to look at.



Looking at my Wordle and Surevy monkey statistics plus my video response it became apparent that the Colour used was very productive in added to the feel of the music video. This was because it was shot in night vision and some was changed in editing to make it appear like night time. This was very useful feedback as up to that point in time i was still unsure as to whether it looked presentable enough to call it nighttime. We were also Told about the Lip Synch. Overall most people agreed that it was good however a number of people did pick up on the Moments when Jimmy forgot the words to the song. although not many people did pick up on it it still was not completely hidden. Overall it does not effect the flow of the film too much but however if i did do this again i would work personally with my performer to make sure he knew the lines. People also noted on how Each shot from the gangs contrasted both in camera and mis en scene. They noted that although it Wasnt intentional the fact that the 2 colours differ is good as it connotes how the 2 gangs society. They also commented on it contrasting with the animals and age as it was said to add an element of humor within the serious message.Most people also picked up on the representation of our youths in the video. It was said to be really clear and precise on our views on them. Overall my finally question to people was whether it was MTV presentable or not everyone we interviewed agreed it was because they believed it had a professional out take to the video

Audience feedback

in order to get some audience feedback for each of my created medias i have decided on the following;
1. organize focus groups for a goup of 11 yr olds and another for sixth formers
2. Use survey monkey and word to produce questionnaires
3. collect video recorded interview response.

My Questionnaire

Today we have begun answering the four questions for our coursework and today we answered the question ''What have you learnt from your audience Feedback". To do this we needed to create an questionnaire which in todays lesson i created and is below. Now all that is left to do is give out questionnaires.
Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.

Day 2 Filming

I am pleased to say that we have finally finished shooting (Finally!!!!!!!!!!!). We did come a few difficulties whilst filming which as one unit we were able to overcome. WE had an issue with one of our performers being unable to attend as her parents wouldn't let her. Fortunately for us, I had spoken to my cousin some time ago about performing and he happened to be free today so we managed to get him to replace her. Alongside that we had problems with playing the song as the volume of my phone was not loud enough. We managed to resolve this by Having Joe performing with earphones and the Gorillas relying on his performance to interpret what stage of the song they were at which worked really well. We came across a minor problem Where Jimmy did not know his lines. At first this did prove to be difficult but after going through the lines with Jimmy myself and making him feel more confident performing them he managed to get it. Overall Filming was enjoyable and its really relieving to know that we have completed shooting and all seems to be looking good for my team and I.

Blog Update

Today we expected to finish our filming once and for all and at the same time get images which we would use for our Digi-paks. Unfortunately we ran into numerous problems; Jimmy our performer for professor Green was unable to attend as his mum said he needed to clean up his room. Alongside that there was heavy rain therefore we had to make a careful judgment/risk assessment regarding the safety of the camera.After much discussion we decided that it was wise to re-shoot tomorrow however we did manage to get a few photos for our Digi-pak which i now have enough to begin fully now.

Post Production Feedback

Today is our first lesson back we began editing once again. We Spent the lesson trying to get our shots in time with the song but this proved difficult due to the fact that we recorded no sound. We also had a some of the students in our class take a look at our work and give us feedback.

One person said that our shots were too long, which we were aware of however we needed to get all of the shots in sync with the songs before we could cut them down. We were also told to include more shots of Joe but we cannot at this stage as we have not recorded them yet. They also said that there was a long blackout which was left for a shot we still have not recorded it yet. And we were also told that There were random shots in between the video which were just moved temporarily as we were trying to tidy the sequence up.
