Audience Feedback

To start I will show some general feedback I have given myself about my media production.

From watching my product over and over again, I can see some negatives and positives.

Negatives

• I may of left too many questions unanswered during the first two minutes of my piece.
• There was also problems with the music, I wanted the song to build up but also have the faster beat during the walk, however in movie make I was limited, and could only choose the start and beginning, leaving me with the choice of sacrificing the build up for the majority of the movie, so after long thinking I decided that the majority of the piece was more important than the build up of the song.
• Putting the song name and artist in the opening was also a risk, because it makes it seem like either a music video or credits, but I promised to the artists that I would include that, and I stuck to my word, however it could of been a mistake in the long run and is was a rather risky choice.

Positives

• I think the mise en scene blended well with the overall feel of the movie, the music and visuals produced that "sad" feeling I was going for.
• The shots were all relatively steady and never had anything that shouldn't be in it.
• Used a variety of shots, such as POV, over the shoulder etc.

Negatives

• "maybe could have introduced more camera angles"
• "Leave out song + Artist"
• "looked like a music video"

Some other critism was not really constructive so I have left it out, however it is nice to see some criticism so I can learn from my mistakes and ultimately improve on them.

Positives

• "Good song choice"
• "Blatant Mise en scene"
• "Song works well with visuals"
• "Use of colors good, I liked the change from B/W to colour"

Obviously I am happy to see some positives in there, there were some more, but most just repeated in different forms, this is also very helpful for the learning approach, I can see what people like and dislike, but as my product was not mainstream, I was expecting some criticism as it does not appeal to everyone, one person even said "I do not get the story" considering it was the first two minutes I never planned for them to understand the whole storyline, infact I aimed to leave them guessing, and let there imagination blossom,  but I guess you can't please everyone.
