Evaluation. question 3

Once I had finished my music video and had a near final product I was asked to publish it on youtube to receive feed back on the music video. The reason why feedback is needed is because it can help you continue to improve your music video by listening to what the public think of it and to see if your product does follow conventions of the particular genre I chose. Constructive criticism is them main reason for uploading my music video on to youtube because where it is a global web browser anyone around the world can easily leave a comment positive or negative on my video. I believe that my product could of used more improvement but did not know where to add the improvements so I used other comments left by people who had viewed my music video to see where and how i could improve my video to make it more appealing to the target audience.

After 3 months of my having uploaded my rough cut of my music video on youtube I received several comments, they were a mixture of positive and negative comments. I have taken what i thought to be the 2 most left positive comments and 2 most constructively critical comments.

positive:

• The narrative of the music video was very clear and easy to follow and was kept well in timed with the music video, the shots and scenes also were a good visual aide as they related to the lyrics of the song at the right time.
• The video followed both conventions of not only a dance music video but also a indie genre.

even though this comment was short it still made the point that my music video followed and challenged the conventions of both genres of what my choice of song came under.

negative:

• In your music video I noticed that some times that your main artist was out of time of the music and she made gestures that did not make sense in the music video
• The music video started of slow and was not did not immediate attract my attention until the drop of the song. in a music video it is important that you immediately grab the attention of your audiences so they do not lose interest in your music video and refrain from watching it as it has a slow start that is hard to get into 

After reading these comments it was clear that the main problems were not easily resolved, for mr to be able to resolve the first issue it would mean having to re film some shots to make it more in time with the song and also to let my main artist that she would have to make sure she does not make any gestures that do not go in sink with the music video. 

I tackled the second problem by making the intro stand out more by using lighting effects more in the start of the video and then carrying them on throughout the rest of the video.

As a media producer the positive comments  made me feel like I had complete the task I had been given and that it was a successful music video other than the negative points that were made clear to me which later resolved thought editing.when looking through the comments made by the audience and reading that there were issues with the music video which I would have to fix.
when receiving the negative feedback i immediately took it on  board as i knew that there would be some negative points about it as to make a near perfect music video it takes many attempts and better editing soft where and equipment to make it to a professional standard.

If I was working in the music industry then using the feedback I received from my music video i would know to look for any defects in the video as even the slightest misplaced object in the setting can cause the video to look unprofessional and even through cause the audience to lose there attention in the music video. I now also know that there is always room for improvement and that external feedback is important as different people can offer you new ideas and can help tell you where your videos weakest shots or scenes are.
