Question 4

4). What have you learned from your audience feedback?

These are the amount of times our video has been viewed on Vimeo statistics.

As we can see in the feedback video people have made positive comments about our pop video. This shows that the aspects people mention such as editing camera work and mise en scene are powerful and attractive. This has taught me that in my future videos i will keep similar editing, camerawork and mise en scene techniques to show consistence in improvements of skills.

One of my teachers gave me personal feedback on our video about the climax point towards the end. As he said "... Towards the end there was a part where the drum roll was at a fast pace and acceding to a climax point. At that point i was expecting a big sharp cut or some sort of camerawork to emphasize the climax.."

I have learned that at a point of climax i should create a big impact to show the initiative of the climax. By keeping it simple after the climax it made the audience lose hope in terms of expecting a big bang rather than a simple shot after a climax point.

Another aspect some of my friends mentioned was about the lack of lighting in the DJ'ing sequence.
Even though we have use two sets of lighting kits it has only lit up a small amount due to the club being very dark. However i have learned that shooting film in dark locations require more than one lighting kit.

One of my fathers friend who also does media in Turkey criticized the lack of camerawork in the video. He said " Using more handlheld camera shots rather than with tripod would make the video more dynamic and music video alike. The camera work should of been abstract at the parts where the dancers were dancing such as, turning around the dancer from a low angle."
These comments taught me how to improve skills such as camerawork and lighting in future videos. As the technicians mentioned more than 5 times that in a dark location even with the lighting kit it will be difficult to get footage. However i wanted to challenge myself and use 2 sets of lighting kits and record in a dark club.
I also need to improve my camera skills and be creative in terms of applying to the convention but also being interesting and abstract.
