TASK 3- what i have learnt.

Over the past week i have learnt a lot from audience feedback. Our group worked hard on making sure that our three products linked well. We wanted to give our artist a powerful and kingly image and i feel that we achieved that. Doing the questionnaire gave us a broad spectrum of feedback, we chose to have an equal amount of female & males and also a variety of people from different countries. We chose to do this because it gave us lots of different opinions and ultimately that is what we wanted. The questions were simple but allowed the student doing the questionnaire to express their opinions and give us there honest response to the question. It also gave us a clear understanding of the weaknesses and strengths amongst our three products so we learnt where we could of improved on the production and where we could of changed it.

The feedback on the video was mostly positive, we wanted people to understand and feel his power and looking at the questionnaire it is clear that they felt he was portrayed this way. Many of the comments from the students mentioned how they felt Affie (our artist) was strong, confident, powerful and kingly. The effects and lighting were also commented on often. The students seemed to really like the earthquake effect that we added on during the editing process. They also said they thought the lighting throughout the video was extremely strong and also helped to portray the kingly persona. We posted our video on youtube which gave us a lot of positive and constructive feedback. The reason we choose youtube, is because it is a free video sharing site which interlinks with social networking sites and society. Below is a screen shot of the comments and feedback we ot from posting it on youtube.We also received а lot on facebeook on the editing and use of shots, as well as our powerful lighting having used blinders

The constructive criticism on our digipak and poster was extremely helpful. We had lots of positive feedback on the two products as well but a few students said what we could improve them. Most of the comments were about the poster. Some of the students noted that they feel the poster should have more detail, more colour and stronger bolder text. They also said that it would be good if it linked with the digipak, maybe including more to do with the video. The digipak itself was quite successful amongst the students. They really liked the fact that it completely linked with the video and was simplistic. They mostly all thought that the genre was clearly displayed through the images used on the digipak. For example the shot of our artists shoes, this shows he has been around, walked a lot of streets, those shoes have experienced a lot.

I feel that the feedback was very beneficial to our group, it allowed us to think about what we can improve to make our products better and we found out if it was a good or bad production from the way the audience reacted. We also found that our audience wasnt the usual audience but it was a working class urban street audience. It also made us think more about what our chosen audience wants. As well as taking the constructive criticism on board we also really enjoyed all the positive comments. It showed us that our chosen audience recognised and acknowledged our products and ultimately thoroughly enjoyed them.

Overall i have found getting audience feedback massively helpful, it was also a great learning process. It taught me to accept and take on board criticism and apply it to my products so the final outcome is very successful. In our video the main thing I would change with the feedback we have gathered is
 that we wanted to create an enigma however i think that it wasnt clear enough. So the thing i would change is that i would make the relationship between Affie and the girl and make the narrative more clear to the audience.
