We asked a sample audience for there views on our music video and to give us some feedback. Below it shows the feedback we requested from our sample audience.
David Lloyd- The camera work was good. Elements that I like were the shaky effect where the boy was in the park and he was running and really drunk. I think that the settings are appropriate and the costumes link in well with the video. I think that the target audience is young teens to young adults. I particularly liked the lip-syncing, which was done by Michael in the studio I thought that was done very well. Overall I think that the video is good.
Maryam Ismail- I think the camera work fits well and particularly I liked the transitions that were between the shots. I think that the setting was very appropriate as it is a love story, again the costumes fit well as it is typical casual clothing that people of our age actually wear which makes it feel more realistic. The video is probably aimed towards teenagers and young adults. My favorite scenes are at the train station where the boy walks away because at the start of the video I thought the boy and the girl would get together but he walks away so its an interesting storyline through out the whole video.
Adam Smith - I think the video was good I liked the whole video in general I liked the ending in particular it demonstrated the feelings of the male lead very well, emotionally invoking. The settings of the scenes are good and not to over the top like many people have in there music videos. The camera work is really good as well and I liked the fact that both characters got into character and it feels more realistic.
Kate Blair- I think that the camera work was on and off, I could see some parts were rushed. But overall it was pretty good. I like the effects you put on the clips. It captured the emotion of the ballad style song. I particularly like the scenes shot in the park and you went back and forth showing emotions at “happy times”. I feel that you were efficient considering the resources you had. I liked the costume, I thought that it was nice and stylish, fitting in with the genre of the music and setting of the video. I think that the narrative needed to be stronger and apparent, it was rather vague. The story of about the relationship was unclear, why did they separate? It could have been structured better. I also think that the lip-syncing wasn’t in line with song.
Holly Atkinson –
I have to give credit to the camera work in it looked really professional and I liked how showed the emotions of the characters involved. I liked the different filters and effects like shaking off the camera when Michael was in the park and drunk. I like the fact that it didn't go with the majority of the types of videos that are on the music channels now that just feature guns, drugs and girls in bikinis. I also liked the fact that it wasn’t a “typical” love story music video.
Leah Andrew- I think the video was good I liked the video in general. The settings were good. I liked it, the use of ideas for example the idea of where the performer Michael was drunk and depressed and went rushing around Manchester looking for his girlfriend. The props that were used My favorite scene was at the end where the couple walked past giving it a great level of emotion. Overall I think you did a great job.After requesting feedback from a sample audience, our music video received really positive feedback.
A typical comment was that it was creative and the ideas for the storyline was really good. This storyline also related to some people’s lives and so this immediately interested them.
The audience’s overall response from the video was that we had used a wide range of different shots, from close up shots to location shots; to stimulate interest. The use of different types of shots encourages the audience watching the music video to perceive it in different ways, and also creates a successful and professional feel towards the music video.
Another strength that was given was the lip-syncing, which was done by Michael in the studio. A comment we received by the audience feedback was the lip-syncing was done in time and matched the lyric of the songs perfectly.
Not all music videos are made the way people want it. There are things within our music video which we could have improved on and made better.
The audience, which viewed our music video, felt some of the lip-syncing wasn’t in line with the song.
Another problem addressed was that the narrative needed to be stronger and apparent, it was rather vague. And the story should have been clearer about the relationship.
From our audience feedback we have learnt a lot, the audience feedback picks out both positives and negatives about the music video and it allows us to get an idea of what people think of it, and what can be done to make it better.
