Audience Feeback

After showing my final music video I received some feedback from my audience members.

I asked them the following questions:
Do you think the video fits the genre?
Do you think the video matches the song?
What did you like about the video?
Do you think anything could be improved? If so what?
Do you think the video matches the song?

Yes I do think the video fits the genre

I like the editing that was cut to the pace of the song. Good acting from the main actor. Interesting camera angles and shots used, which were very atmospheric.

The time lapse could have been a bit better in order to better show the passage of time and the camera quality could have been a bit better.

I'm not sure if it fits the genre as I can't say I watch may music videos, however it is similar to the few pop style music videos I have seen, mostly due to the narrative. I really enjoyed the story-line and pacing which as a whole I thought was really great. The quality of the picture and the main actor, along with the interesting camera angles (specifically the close ups of the words) really added to the atmosphere and helped me get in to the story. I also liked how each camera angle lead into the next shot. My favourite scenes were the time-lapse at the beginning, where I enjoyed the cars and people walking past whilst nothing around the house changed, and the scene down the stairs as the light came through the curtain which made it very atmospheric.

All in all I really loved the video but maybe you could add a title?

It was really good! I really loved the story and the narrative portrayed by the main actor. My only criticism was that he looked a bit young to be drinking alcohol, but it definitely added to the emotions portrayed and it began to make more sense as the story progressed.

I do not really watch pop music as I prefer rock so I wouldn't be able to tell you if it fits the genre or not. The video was great overall. My favourite part was when he smashed the bottle and it transitioned into the bright light shining on the writing of the letters as it was if he realised he needed to do something to deal with his loss. The time-lapse at the beginning could of been better, at first I didn't realise it was a time-lapse

As I was filming Amy, I also asked her the question "Do you understand what story was being presented? What do you think it was?"

Below is a video of Amy Talley answering the questions after having watched the video:

All in all the feedback that I received for my music video was exceedingly positive.
