What have you learnt from audience feedback?

We tried to receive as much audience feedback as possible by showing people in our class, our friends, our teacher and our parents. To get the feedback we emailed the link to our blog and asked the people in the class to watch it and give their comments on the print products as well. An example of audience feedback that we received and carried out is the feedback that we got on the magazine advert.  A class member suggested that we used a glow around the digi-pack to ensure that the colours didn’t merge so we did this. Originally we used a white glow as we thought that it would complement the white text on the bottom, however we tried this and it didn’t look right so we used a red glow, although the whole advert was red it brought out the photo and helped the colours not to merge. Our teacher also commented on our blog posts telling us how to improve, for our music video he suggested that we include more edits, which we did. We were pleased with this after we had made the suggested changes as it made our music video look more professional. I also showed some family and asked them similar questions such as how could it be improved and do you think it looks like a real music video. We took into account what they had said and made some changes, an example was someone did not understand that there was a supernatural force chasing Greg and they didn’t really understand the storyline, this led us to find the night vision effect which shows the audience that it is not something real and it suggests that there is something chasing him. When we were making our first rough cut we found that we didn’t have as big a range of camera angles that we wanted, we then went out to re-shoot some and got some more point of view shots which involved me running with the camera, these give the impression that something is chasing Greg. We are pleased that we got plenty of audience feedback however we didn’t get as much for the digi-pack as this was one of the last things we ,made meaning that there wasn’t a lot of time available to get audience feedback on it. Although we got some which included changing the font colour; which led us to use the different effects including some white and a shadow, we feel that the digi-pack could have been improved by some more audience feedback.
