Audience Feedback

We showed a small group of peers and adults our final edit of the music video and asked them for feedback afterwards.

"I thought the music video was very interesting. I was taken aback by the detail that was in the story and it had a very powerful an emotive feel to it. I think this video could be very relatable to people in different ways. For example, if times are tough, you can find means to get distracted and in the musics case, it was the guitar and through the means of music. Very effective video!"

"The actual music used with the video (the guitar especially) fit very well especially with the story.  I felt like something was building up and I felt invested in the story. I wondered what was going to happen and when. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. I loved the video but I personally prefer to see the musicians working at points in videos but that's not to take away from the quality of the music video."

"Unfortunately, the music video did not have as much of an effect on me as I thought it would have done. Reason being is that I felt the music did not fit the way in which the music progresses and it left me disappointed at the end. The music video itself was good and high quality but I believe the music is a vital part and it should be considered more than it was done. I am sure there is something else which would of worked more."

These are what we felt were the three best pieces of audience feedback about our project. Only one was negative, while it was rather negative we agreed that music is subjective and that we couldn't please everyone. However, we still took their comments on board and considered what we could have done differently. For example, we should have payed more attention to the music literally. Instead of trying to match the tone of the entire song we should have focused on the music being played at each part of the song specifically, making the footage match the tone of the music being played.
