I uploaded my final completed music video to social networking sites to gather as much possible audience feedback as I possibly could. I uploaded the video to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in search of a decent response in terms of analytical feedback. I gained a great insight in terms of my videos strengths and weaknesses, I learnt on things that could have been of been better such as more varied camera shots, improvement in lyric syncing and more relevance to mise-en-scene. I also learnt from the audience on what went well from my audience feedback, I had complements which showed that people appreciated the video.
I also uploaded my two ancillary tasks to social networking sites, again I did this to gather as much possible audience feedback as I could. I uploaded my CD cover and magazine advert for my chosen artist Kings of Leon. Again the response was varied with mainly positive feedback.
The screenshots above are feedback about my music video, they are very detailed which means I have a very strong response which I can learn greatly from. I have learnt that people enjoyed the steadiness of my camera shots, they said it made my video look really professional. I had positive comments on the variation of camera angles, and variation of things to look at which keep the audience on edge and keeps it interesting to watch. I had positive comments on the concept of the video linking to the song and music really well, showing a good understanding and connection between the two. I also had positive comments on the camera angles showing expressions and linking to the lyrics really well. There were also comments on the lip syncing being doing well, which I disagree with because I think the lip syncing is bad and out of sync, but there have been several comments saying it was good. There were also positive comments in regards to the character interacting with the audience in terms of looking into the camera when singing to show emotion. I also received positive feedback on the burying of pictures and burning of pictures, saying that it links well to the concept of the song and in relation to the lyrics, showing a strong understanding of the song.
Negative feedback on the music video was with the lip syncing, in some scenes, which I do agree with and something I am critical with myself, is the lip syncing is off and out of sync, obviously it makes the video look a bit under par and out of performance, something I willingly take responsibility for. If I could go back, I would re shoot the lyric scenes and tidy it up so it looks as professional as possible. Another negative aspect from the audience feedback was the repetitiveness in scenes, especially at the chorus, which again is understandable but I did this to show editing and to show some repetitiveness. I don't think having the same clip shown multiple times is bad at all as many videos do this, especially Kings of Leon.
The screenshots above are feedback for my ancillary tasks (magazine advert and CD digital pack) I received alot of positive feedback for my ancillary tasks, many people commented on the similarities of the colour scheme and the consistency between the two, showing a unique brand identity. I had comments on how professional it looked and that both ancillary tasks show they belong to one artist/album. I also received positive feedback on the image I used for the ancillary tasks (the sunset) saying it looked very professional and photogenic and fitted in to the concept really well with the album name being Come Around Sundown. I also received positive feedback on the location choice of the shot saying it fitted in well to the music video and linked together really nicely.
Comments in regard to improving the ancillary tasks were to have more image selection which is understandable but I wanted to keep a consistency as Kings of Leon do this for their brand identity. There were also comments on having more colour for the inside cover, again understandable but something I didn't feel the need to pursue as I felt it all looked fine and professional, I didn't want to overload with text.
