A2 ADVANCED PORTFOLIO: Sarah Ellis: Evaluation Question Three

These are just six of the feedback sheets that we recieved. In total there were around fifteen sheets. There were a wide variety of positive comments which was lovely to read. Positive attributes that our audience liked about out video were:

- The signs

- The shot with the soldiers jumping over the camera

-The flashbacks

- The storyline

- Good acting

- The video fit the song

- Looked well directed

I identified key words in our feedback (positive and negative) and created a Wordle. It felt good to see that most of the words were positive.

This shows me that people liked the flashbacks and thought we worked well.

The issues that were raised in the audience feedback questionnaires were:

- Not enough lip syncing

- More realistic guns

- More shot ranges

I agree with most of the feedback up to a certain extent. Thirty Seconds to Mars do not over use lip syncing esspecially when it comes to their narrative videos which is why we concentrated on the narrative rather than including lots of lip syncing. However, I understand where the audience are coming from as most videos contain a lot of lip syncing.

I heavily agree with the comment about the guns. We would have loved to have used more realistic guns though due to legal issues we were not able to be in public with close gun replicas. Therefore we had to improvise.

I disagree with the comment about shot ranges. I believe we have absolutly tonnes of shots and a variety of angles. Although the audience are of course entitled to their opinion.

We didn't change our production due to audience feedback as we didn't conduct the feedback until after the hand in.

We spread our video far and wide. We uploaded it to YouTube and have recieved over 200 hits. Theres a tiny glimmer of hope that one of those views was Jared Leto! We also linked the video to Facebook.
