Post 25: Audience Feedback

FEEDBACK FFROM THE AUDIENCE RESEARCH

After completing our initial audience feedback video we discovered some things to guide us with our coursework :
  • That most people think that the target audience for music videos is younger people, and not many people from an older demographic watch music videos of choice; only if they are on TV in the background.
  • That people aren't really aware of marketing/advertisement for music videos.
  • It may make people buy a bands music, but some people believe that they will watch the video after they already know of the band, whereas others think that if they see are really good music video it may act as an incentive for people to look further into a purchase the bands music.
  • The main devices people watch music videos on are TV and mobiles devices.
How will this affect our coursework:
By taking this knowledge into account, we are more likely to make our target audience people of the younger generations, as this seems to be the demographic that consumes music videos the most so they would be the most appropriate audience to try and attract. Furthermore, the main way people consume music videos are smaller devices, so it is important that we make our music videos in a style that would look good on a smaller screen; no larger dramatic shots that only work well in a cinema, for example. Also, if we were to distribute our music video, this would effect the platforms we would choose as websites such as youtube would be more fitting for the devices people use. It is also popular the music videos are a good advertisement for a band and its music so it is important we represent the kind of image we would want for our band, and that it fits their music as this could act as an incentive for people to purchase their music.

Post 55: EVALUATION Q.3

Q.3 WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK? Firstly, here is my plan for answering Evaluation Question 3:  THE QUESTIONNAIRE: Some answers from three different people taken verbally after they have watched the music video and looked at the ancillary tasks, (the poster and the Digi-Pak): Then, I asked one woman aged 51+ and two boys aged 17 to answer it. Here were their responses:  - woman (purple pen) - boys (black pen) - A video we created taking some more answers: What have I learnt from my audience feedback? To gain feedback I wanted to specifically talk to people who were part of my target audience, which was younger people, but I also spoke to few people from an older generation to make sure it was inclusive. I did this by showing people my music video on youtube and then printing out my digi-pak and poster and presented them in the interview. I then asked them questions in a discussion or interview; but I also used

Post 33: PLANNING: Editing

EDITING Our editing style, we know already, we plan to be slow and not heavily edited in port-production with long takes that can really take in the story, to fit the more sombre tone of the song, rather than be heavily edited with lots of cuts that can come out as jumpy and fast. We also want to focus on the sisters, so the cameras will often be rolling for a longer time on the sisters and their movement and not just just on and off for certain shots that are pieced together later to make the story. Below is an example of one longer shot that we could use, instead of lots of little ones, when shooting in the car moving from one sister across to the other: NARRATIVE: Above is a video I found on YouTube roughly describing what narrative is. It helped me understand the meaning of narrative and how it is used.  LINEAR NARRATIVE  -  Linear narratives  present stories in a logical manner by telling what happens from one point in time to the next without using flashbacks

Post 6: Key Music Videos Timeline

POST 6: PRACTICE TASK - KEY MUSIC VIDEOS TIMELINE    This research is to discover the key turning points in music videos in the last century leading up until now. Before we started, the only inclination we had was that Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was important and was a major turning point with creating a storyline with the music video so it was interesting for all of us to see where it originally came from and who influenced the creation of music videos all of the world.  Our online presentation for the Key Music Video Timeline can be found: HERE.
