Music video- initial Feedback

I created a form that i will give to my focus group and take away with them and return it back to me.

I wanted to find out;

What the thought of the music video as a whole
If they understood the narrative
If the camera angles where a good standard
If the editing was a good standard
If the exposure/ lighting was a good standard

Forms;

I had very positive feedback from the forms on my music video as a whole, most people commented on having loads of transitions which makes it intresting. They also said that it was a really unique music video which makes you actually want to watch it, not just dance to it.

For the understanding of the narrative, everyone quessed it was to do with fairy tales and having a dream as they thought it was obviously pointed out but without patronising the audience. They said that the fairy book was needed as it wouldn't have been so clear if not. The bedroom scene was mostly said to be a poor house and diprived child due to the darkness and the costume of the actress. I am very pleased that they understood my idea as when editing i made sure that different clues where given throughout to give the idea with being to patronising.

Most people thought the angles where correct and that they wouldnt have changed them as apropraite close ups illistrated the felling from the little girl but also kept to the codes and conventions in the performance part as close ups of the artist is one point in goodwins theory. A couple of people thought that the camera movement was a little 'shakey' sometimes but one of them said that it adds to the whole effect of the video.

The forms suggested that people had recognisied the length of time it had taken me to achieve this video and said it was worth the work.

The light and exposure was the only one where i recieved negative feedback, as some people thought the part at th start was to dark and that it didn't look that good quality. After considering this i to did agree and this was a valid comment. However i would say if i had had more advantced equipment I would have been able to achieve the darkness but also a clearer picture a lot easie.
