Evaluation - Feedback

What have you learned from your audience feedback?


The use of Web 2.0 has been very benificial to gain our feedback.
As well as asking people questionnaire's and thier opinions, we posted our video on youtube and created a group for our video on facebook.
We didnt get detailed comments on these however so we created a google document so it allowed people to write more detailed answers that we were trying to recieve.

The majority of comments were positive, however the comments to improve were very similiar so it was very easy to see what we needed to improve on.
"it was jumpy and the animation could have worked better with the beat of the song"
The first time we used final cut express we just edited in our footage and sync'd the music with it, so when we first asked for feedback from the people in our class it was only from one scene and didnt have no narrative scenes in.

A few people said that some of the shots lasted too long, so we chopped and changed our video to make the shots shorter and faster, however from some of the comments from our final video we can see that we may have gone too fast with some scenes as people called the video "jumpy".
As we had no other scenes it was quite a boring video at that time with no narrative so people commented on that, but due to it being our first attempt at using final cut express that was expected.
When looking at the comparison video from the feedback "Incomplete Lullaby" people stated that the lights on the black background looked good and made it look more professional. From the comments we both wanted to recreate the lights on the background, however we found it too difficult to try and do on final cut express so we just left it as it was.
While recieving comments from our class mates throughout the process of making the video i think we improved alot of what they were saying needed looking at. We included much more narrative scenes, also while including outside scenes to make the video look more colourful.

I believe if we didnt have these feedback comments i think we would have left it with just the black scenes, it wasnt untill we had another persons perspective on the video that we noticed how bland the video was looking.

Due to posting the video on facebook and youtube, i think we recieved alot of useful feedback that we couldnt have gathered together just through word of mouth.
I think alot of people also liked to comment on our video on the Google Document due to that fact that it was anomonous so people could be thierselves and really tell us the honest opinion they had.

I think if we had more time to improve our video we would have sorted out the animation to make it fit in with the beat more, as alot of peoples comments were about that.
Also we would have changed the scenes so they didnt seem jumpy and to make some of the shots last longer, so they seemed smoother.
