Male Character - Music Video
My younger audience would most likely enjoy artists such as Aurora, Ben Howard and Rhye because it has been seen as more sophisticated. I do feel however that my older audience would listen to more instrumentally progressive music such as the early discography of Elbow (The any day EP- The newborn EP). I believe this would be the case due to the younger generation picking up their music taste through the use of modern day media such as the radio, which mainly airs new releases.
I used questionnaires as my main form of feedback, having an equal number of males and females taking part. This allowed me to have a fair and even results, showing which gender preferred my music video. after my target audience viewed my video and the results were collected, I discovered that my male demographic gave the production a higher grade than females. However, The females did give the best feedback, explaining that they enjoyed the cinematography, specific scenes such as the wall punching and bloodied hands, as well as common editing techniques used throughout. My male demographic on the other hand only used basic feedback on what they enjoyed in the video.
As you can see from these two questionnaires from my male audience, they viewed the video to be top marks, proving that my male demographic enjoys the style of the production. However, you can clearly see the feedback that it is quite minimal, only giving basic feedback on what they enjoyed and disliked in my production.
Two of the questionnaires i received showed quite mixed reviews of my music video. This allowed me to see how I could improve my work for the next production.
I drew up a table for my questionnaire results to show the ratings more clearly, allowing me to see which gender preferred my video in detail. As you can see, it is obvious that my male demographic enjoyed the video more than the females, four of them giving my production a five out of five. However, it was quite surprising to find out that three males gave the mise en scene, camerawork and enjoyment of the video three out of five.
PRINT PRODUCTIONS
Throughout my creation of my print productions, my teacher had given feedback on how she viewed them, allowing me to alter and transform the look of my work to fit with my specific target audience. Although my tutor does not fit my desired demographic, she has the knowledge I needed to aid me in a better outcome. For my magazine advert and panels, my teacher was very impressed with the work that I had achieved. the positive feedback allowed me to base my other productions in a similar fashion.
The more instructive feedback was also useful to me, as it allowed me to make major changes to my creations that helped me overall. This can be shown with my first draft of my panels, my tutor suggesting that the design would be acceptable for a well known artist, but the minimalist design would not sell for an up and coming performer. This feedback made me change the idea, creating another design that I feel made much more impact, standing out from the crowd and it being more fitting for my target audience. My second design's feedback was more in depth than the first, allowing me to make necessary changes to my work to relate to my target audience.
