I personally believe that our group’s video was a great success. Many of the viewers whom also watched the music video have shown mutual responses and also believe that it was very good. Having said that, it doesn’t mean that there are not a lot of improvements in which could have made, in order make the music video better overall.
The good thing about my audience’s feedback is the fact that they are within the age range of our target audience which is from 16 - 25. Most of the people which have given me feedback on the music video are aged between 17 - 18 and therefore there responses are useful to me. These comments are particularly useful to me becuase it will give me an idea of any of the improvements which could be made.
Below is some of the audience’s feedback.
Nathan Miller - aged 17Below is some of the audience’s feedback.
Summary of feedback from Nathan Miller:
- Use of the motif - Japanese writing.
- Likes the ending
- Good shots
- Great editing
Valeza Bakolli - Aged 18
Summary of feedback from Valeza Bakolli:
- Music was time with the beat - this is seen as conventional according to Carole Vernallis.
- The storyline was very intresting
Nike Bor - Aged 18
- Use of the motif - Japanese writing.
- The editing made it look very depressional - This was certainely a message that we were trying to get across to the audience
_________________________________________________________
The audience feedback was without doubt phenomenal. However it has also shown me where I have gone wrong, which means I have certainly acknowledged any weaknesses which I can develop on, when undertaking another project of the same kind.

We received some comments about the sharpness of some of our shots. Therefore reflecting on this, I would certainly go back on the decision to use out of focus shots. This decision was made to create obscurity and astatically we thought it would look good.
However it seems that we have not got across our desirable message and it has rather caused a lot of confusion amongst the target audience. Therefore it is something that I have definitely learnt from and would change if given the opportunity. This is because I believe we may have still been able to create the same effect of obscurity with the use of just focused shots and no unfocused shots.

Another aspect in which I would certainly change is that I would make improvements on the lip syncing. Although this is something which I believe not a lot of the audience would have recognised. The weaknesses in the lip syncing may have not been noticeable by many of the people in the audience because of the up beat tempo and also the fast jump cuts.

Our music video was publised on both "YouTube" and "Vimeo".

| Amount of veiws and feedback |
As you can see above the video has just under 500 views. This may be associated with the quality of the music video itself.
After we uploaded the music video onto YouTube, people gave their feedback on the video through rating it on whether they like or dislike it: It received “8 likes” and “0 dislikes”. This shows that our music video was appealing to the mass audience. However these likes may not come from people within our target audience. This is because the site “YouTube” is opened to anyone worldwide and therefore can reach the mass audience.

| Amount of veiws and feedback |
As you can see above the video has just below 50 veiws. This may be associated with the quality of the music video itself.
Since uploading the music video onto “Vimeo”, we have not received any feedback on the video through ratings on whether people like or dislike it. Although I believe that any responses from “Vimeo” would certainly benefit my group and I a lot more than any feedback from “YouTube”. This is because the site “Vimeo” is not open to anyone apart from those whom are members. Particularly the section on “my channels” is only available to city and Islington students. This is very beneficial to me and my group because most of the people in which attend the sixth form range from ages between 16-20. This means that any responses will certainly come from people whom are within our target audience and therefore aged between 16-25.
