Audience feedback is essential in order to find out how successful my production was as well as gaining information about how to improve my production. Audience feedback allows an interaction between the producer and the audience therefore breaking the fourth wall. This interactivity was very positive as it allowed me to take a step back and see how to improve my music video through the unbiased eyes of others. There is not just a single benefit to this process, rather numerous benefits of audience responses such as: an Increase knowledge retention, Improve attentiveness, Track individual response, Confirm audience understanding of key points and narratives.
Matthew Horton Talking About Our Music Video
I was able to gain audience feedback in a variety of ways. Predominantly I showed my music video to a range of different people in my school. I asked a group of people in my form group, ageing between seventeen and eighteen, of which most enjoy pop music and they responded with the following feedback, “good use of locations…loving the saturated effect…excellent use of angles…but change the font at the end of the song.” Obviously this feedback is very positive, therefore reassuring myself that I have produced a good music video. There was one criticism, however, as the asked me to change the font at the end of the song. In reflection, I can understand why this has been highlighted, this required the least concentration and attention, therefore it has become obvious that I neglected this small feature in my production. I can see now that the font which is used is very dull and stale, two words which do not fit the genre stereotypes of my music video. I will take this into account and quickly eradicate this oversight. Without the audience feedback I would have kept the boring font, however, this exercise has given me and opportunity to take others opinions into consideration, and I agree with what was suggested. As another means of gaining valuable audience feedback I filmed two classmates immediately after they had watched our music video, to gain the instant first opinion. This didn’t give them much time to think about their answer therefore, it would be a very basic yet concise answer singling out the main points which stood out for better or worse.

Another way I gained information about my product was by uploading my Music video up on YouTube, an Internet site where four billion people, according to stats taken in February 2016, worldwide view videos every day. I then waited a week and checked my YouTube video page discovering that 150 people had viewed my music video. To get more information in dept i clicked on “insight” on the YouTube page and this is what I found out: people tend to loose attention after 1:31 minutes which could suggest there is a necessity for engaging content around this are within the video.
I believe that there are many benefits of asking individuals as I received a concise and straight to the point answer. However, the group identified weak points within my music video and offered a solution which was far more advantageous. We chose to film my classmates as this enabled us to conform to our target audience of teenagers. After receiving the feedback I have learnt that our target audience is very pleased with the music video as it adheres to most of the pop stereotypes. Furthermore I have had much praise about the editing and flow of the music video,” even being acknowledged as “like a real music video.” The feedback which i have studied is very pleasing and promising emphasising that our music video is more than acceptable to be categorised in the Pop genre.
