Question 4-Jack Simpson

What have you learned from audience feedback?

Audience Feedback Part 1


Audience Feedback Part 2

Our audience feedback was really great.I think this is because our video had a very dynamic feel to it, which was thanks to our dancers and graffiti artist combined with the editing. Our audience appreciated the diverse shots and themes. The fast paced style of editing with varying mid shots, close ups, low angle,high angle and jump cuts kept the video from getting stale or dragging on. I think that was one of the aims we set out with when we got inspiration from Madonna and Run DMC's videos so I'm happy our we reached that aim.

Our main complaint came from the fact that the shots with the DJ were badly lit.This is a fair comment that I agree with.In my opinion it didnt transition well with the rest of the shots because of this.Throughout our video there is a theme of vibrancy and bright colour which is amplified by the Graffiti and dancing. This is in stark contrast to the shots of the DJ in the club which featured drab brown backgrounds in a dark setting. One thing to take from this is that planning is crucial, if you want to achieve perfect shots.We thought using the lighting kit was enough but obviously it wasn't,looking back on that day filming, we rushed those shots too much.

Overall Statistics

As you'd expect our video got the most views in mid January. I think 273 overall plays is a good amount considering the video is private.What I also found interesting was that it was embedded on Facebook and gained 37 plays just by being posted on the social networking site. I think it makes you realise the importance of promotion through the internet and social networking sites.
