Evaluation Question 4

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

Rough Cut Feedback

Above is a link to the rough cut feedback we got when we presented it to the class. I think we have listened to what they had to say and we changed a lot of things around. I think editing in Final Cut Pro helped our video look more visually exciting to the audience because we used a lot of different effects to change the music video around; e.g.. quick cutting, earthquake, bleeding the colour out using filters...etc. Because RAP music is most of the time, fast paced, I think these really helped our music video look more appealing. We also edited things more to the beat and made every cut different each time.

Below is a short documentary style video of the feedback on my music video and ancillary texts. I asked a few students within my target audience range, what they thought of my media products.

Production of Ancillary Work - Making Changes Based on Feedback

The feedback on my DigiPak so far was that I needed to change the sunset so that the london eye was not in the centre as it looked weird and not so much like a reflection. From this, I moved it more to the side and made it bigger so that it appeared more realistic. Below I have shown a BEFORE and AFTER picture of the changes I made.

Also, the feedback from my advertisement suggested that I needed to change the wording and font of the ratings on my advertisement.  I mentioned 'new songs' in the quotes which made it seem that I was promoting an established artist when I was suppose to be promoting a debut artist.

Here is the changes I made for my advertisement :

Production of Ancillary Work - Feedback on DigiPak So Far

Whilst designing my digipak front panels, I asked for some feedback from my sister who is 15 years old, on how it was looking so far. I think her advice was very useful as it came from my target audience point of view which helped me open my eyes and understand what is more appealing to to my real audience. 

              

I also got feedback on my advertisement from Rebecca about my Advertisement. She said overall my work is good but I just need to re word my quotes on the advertisement as it sounded like I was promoting an already established artist. She also suggested I change the font because it stood out more than the other fonts on my digipak.

Below is a screenshot of the feedback she gave on my ancillary work so far.
