Evaluation Question 3

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Pitch Feedback - 

The pitch feedback we got a few months ago really helped kick start this project, it was mainly positive as the band name, character names and back ground stories really worked well together especially for our chosen genre, the record label was well thought out and everything just seemed to fit well with each-other, however we didn’t think of any theories e.g Goodwin or logos/other iconic symbols. After listening to these changes we then started on improving the pitch in order to create a better music video.

For my Digi Pak the most important feedback I got was the minor changes I had to make in order to improve it. There wasn’t anything that really ruined the Digi Pak and overall it was very successful and looked like a genuine rock band’s Digi Pak.
Positive feedback consisted of many people liking the colour scheme and the photographs used of the band shots aswell as the edgy distorted pictures and patterns, these all interweaved with one another creating a very rocky feel.
Negative feedback originally consisted on changes that had to be made in order to make it an authentic Digi Pak, for example in my first draft I forgot to add things like the record company and barcode however those changes have now been made.

For my poster the most important feedback I got which helped me improve it was moving titles and logos around in order for a better fit plus emphasising who they band are and what the poster is promoting. I think my poster now is much better and when shown along side the music video and Digi Pak you can really see how well they work together and they look like authentic media products.

From our first draft we got very positive student and teacher feedback. The majority of the class really enjoyed the performance and how well the video looked in the sense that it follow the codes and conventions of the narrative. Another part of the music video that worked well was the editing and the shots that were used all highlighted the stereotypes within this music genre, for an example lots of head banging was emphasised especially on heavy parts of the song. One improvement the audience noted was how the narrative needed to be more worked on more and as cinematographer I knew it was essential to film more narrative shots therefore we planned a reshoot but it was not successful as the weather was completely different to our previous footage, some shots were useable however I’d give a another chance to improve this video I think our narrative could have been a lot better in that sense.
