Evaluation Question 3: What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

We showed our final copy of our Love or Lust music video to other media students, teachers and families to get a wide range of opinions on the final product. We also made sure we asked people who follow bands with a similar style to Kids From The Summer. This is some of the positive and negative feedback we received:

1. Good band shots
2. Effective setting that suited the style of the music
3. I liked the cards with the words
4. Quick editing effective for pace of the music
5. Simplicity was effective
6. Quick cuts in time with the music worked well
7. Repeating shots too long
8. Using the same person with the cards was noticeable
9. Placards looked as though we were filling in space

Our audience feedback has taught us a lot about what works well and what is not so effective when creating a music video, especially in the style of punk rock. Here is what we would consider editing, cutting or changing if we were to re-create our music video:

1. Follow the storyboard more and if the storyboard has to change we should re-draft it because it will give us a sense of direction and structure and we will know exactly what shots we need
2. Film more footage so we have more options and a variety of shots
3. Practice with the effects beforehand
4. Make sure we do not use the same shots or shots too similar more than once
