Evaluation Question 3 - What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Social Media Post

At the very beginning of the year, before we had chosen what song we were going to choose, both me and Erin decided to post a couple of statuses up asking which song would be best to base our media product around, 'Colours' by Halsey seemed to be the most popular, resulting in it quickly becoming a favorite and winning. We both received many comments about why it would and would not be the best idea, such as...

• "The video is very story based, wouldn't that be hard to film"
• "Massive Halsey fan, please do Gasoline or colours"
• "The song is so long though and the shots would be quite slow, Paramore is the better option "

We thoroughly searched through the comments, and decided that because of all the positive feedback urging us to do 'colours' it was probably our best option.

Classmate Feedback

Considering, I haven't had the most experience with photoshop and iMovie, asking other users of these applications sounded like the smartest idea. They gave us plenty of pointers and explained how we could improve certain areas such as effects, editing, layouts and also audio.

Our teacher was obviously the biggest help because of them knowing how and where exactly we needed to improve to help us get the best and highest grade possible.

Style Model Comments 

With the original 'Colours' music video being our main style model, not every fan thinks the video is as good as it could have been. A lot of the negative comments were mainly about how confusing the story was and even by the end could quite figure out what had happened because of how unclear it was.

• "Wait What? W as she taking pictures of the dad or the boyfriend?"
• "Why was she taking photos???"
• "The song doesn't match the video, why did they have to add the irrelevant story?"

This type of feedback helped us because it let us know that over-doing the story line would leave the audience disappointed and not wanting to watch it again.

Planning - Editing (Effects/Filter)

Black and White filters have been commonly used in all types of media videos/images to represent the past, memory or negative moments in time. Both me and Erin decided this idea would be perfect for our music video considering it is based around a story of love and loss. We will be using this filter whenever there is a scene that is showing the past so it makes a little more sense to the audience.

Planning - Company Logo

After the research I did on a previous post and finally deciding on a style model to base my design around, i got to work and decided that shapes and bold font were gonna be the main feature in this decide so it not only stand out but it will be memorable. Below is the final design. As you can see the colour theme is very dark but professional and the text clearly shows who the logo belongs to.

This logo will be featured on not only the poster but album to and I think it would fit perfectly with the main theme and flow. The logo will only be small on both pieces of media so i needed it to stand out but also not take any attention away from the main image.
