Q3) What have you learned from your audience feedback?

My group gained some audience feedback from fellow peers and friends. We uploaded our video onto social networking sites such as Facebook for people to comment and to see what they think of the video. Gaining feedback from friends and family outside of school is much more useful as they haven’t got an idea of media conventions and also can’t be as critical.
The audience feedback we tried to gain was mainly focusing on the lip synching within the video and also meeting all the conventions. What we would have liked is people’s first reactions to be and know it was a hip hop video. We then asked questions such as; why it’s Hip-Hop and what makes it Hip-Hop.  The feedback we got from the peers we asked was constructive and gave us a clear understanding of what we could do to improve the video.  Most feedback said we met the conventions of the genre however some parts could have been put together better and also the connection with the artist was lacking a bit.
We also gathered some feedback from people by getting them to watch it and then ask them questions on what they think of the video. We got some peers who don’t study media and got their reaction and view on it. This was effective and gave us a good establishment of how our film made people feel. Mostly, people gave us positive feedback on our unique locations and shot types. Also, the props and costuming was perfect for the video and worked well. The ‘street wear’ I wore during the video helped create the Hip-Hop atmosphere overall.
