Evaluation Question Three : What have you learned from the audience feedback

(click on picture to see it larger)    

Question One : From the feedback we received all but one person felt that we conformed to conventions of our chosen genre . None of them elaborated on how we did this but most agreed that we did. I'm happy to learn this as we did want it to fit in with conventions of a R'N'B/Hip Hop video but at the same time we did want to challenge it abit we was hoping to do this with the Indian theme. If I could re-do the video again I would keep the methods in which I tried to make our video conform to its genre

Question Two : Everyone agreed that style and fashion came across as being an important element when we constructed our video. Through general observations of music videos , fashion and style isn't just important in our chosen video's genre but in most where female artists are concerned . So we were very happy to learn that the viewers noticed that the Fashion and style seemed important in our video because having those two elements is essential in any genre especially with female musicians . Although the feedback from everyone liked the clothes we wore , if I could change anything I would make the backup dancers skirts match in terms of colour I was happy to learn people didn't notice that .

Question Three : This question was like the first one but this time it highlighted to the viewers if their was anything specific in our video that challenged our conventions. For this question most people did feel we challenged conventions in some ways. E.g. they pointed out they found the belly dancing , Shisha and the overall Indian theme was unique for an R'N'B/Hip Hop video. However one person did disagree and say that it completely conformed due to the use of the rapper . I learnt that most people did feel in certain things we did challenge our genres typcial video. Additionally I learnt from this question that one participant felt that the whole Indian theme looked abit fake , although it wasn't answering the question I still took on the comment because it was general feeback of the video. If I had to re-do the video I would have kept the Shisha and belly dancing but may have brainstormed something else to challenge my genre .

Question Four : We actually forgot to ask one person this question but from all the other respondents we learnt that they liked it and thought it worked well . People didn't really elaborate on this question so the previous point was all I really learned. So if I was re-doing the video again I would have kept the strong Asian influences and the strong Hip Hop and R'N'B ones also.

Question Five : The overall response to our props and locations was a good one . We learnt that our aim for our video to appear as if we had a variety of props and locations had been successful. From learning this I would keep all the props and locations the same as I myself was happy with it and so were all the respondents.

Question Six : Out of all the questions I feel I learnt the most from this one . From the Facebook comments and video the majority of people liked the rapper and felt that we needed it . However others disagreed and thought that we could have been more innovative and used something else to replace the rapper. Also someone noted that they noticed it was a girl , so I learnt the use of a girl for a rapper may not have been as discrete as we initially thought it'd be. Despite learning this I still would have included the rapper and used the same person because I think it worked and so did the majority of viewers that watched it .
