Throughout this project, I have really understood the importance of audience feedback in relation to the product and how it helps to progress the production further. After finally finishing the music video, we showed our finished video to year 10 and year 11 media students at our school whom sat and watched the video and filled out sheets giving feedback. Questions that we asked the pupils included: ‘was the constructed mise-en-scene effective?’; ‘was the target audience catered for?’; ‘did you enjoy it?’. The pupils also noted their age and gender which gave us an insight into whether or not we had targeted our audience in the appropriate fashion effectively.
Male / 16
+ Splitscreen
+ Similar to a real music video
– Unclear narrative at times
+ Appeals to teenagers of either gender
Male / 16
+ Narrative is open – the stalker could be an alter ego?
+ Understood narrative
Female / 16
+ Good song choice
Male / 15
- Too many burning photos
Male / 15
+ Abstract narrative
+ Good lip-synching
Female / 16
+ Appeals to target audience (teens); I enjoyed it
Male / 15
+ Good lip-synching
- ‘Headbanging’ is ‘cringey’
+ Feels like an original music video
Male / 15
+ Good lighting
+ Good setting
Female / 15
- Too horrifying for kids
+ Good mise-en-scene
Male / 16
+ Crossfade worked well with story
Male / 16
+ Lighting and flashing images were effective
Female / 15
+ Paint on wall is good
+ Characters and costume suit song
+ Words in song relate to shots
- Some scenes could be longer
From the results that were gained from the audience feedback sheets, it can be seen that the video has been perceived positively by teenagers, whom were targeted in the music video. The mise-en-scene was commented on by the teenagers positively, noticing that the characters and costumes suit the song genre.
