What have you learned from your audience feedback?

For the most part, the audience was unable to identify any problems with any of the texts. Except for one shot in the video, a point of view shot where Andrew is supposedly looking over the desk at what the other students are doing, saying that it's very unsteady and a little 'drunken'. As it was too late to change it at this point, we couldn't do much about it, but we did identify it's source; it had looked a little odd without something there and it was the only thing we had, given the chance to redo it, we'd have a much more stable shot. With my ancillary texts the only problem identified is that it was a little lacking in pictures and that the text on the page was unreadable, but that was just because iWeb wanted to display it dodgily when I clicked 'visit', it was easily fixed. I couldn't really get anymore on this, seeing as the people I asked on deviantART didn't fill in the questionairre I did on survey monkey. I also got a bit of conflict from one person saying that my homepage was too simple, whereas another said that it was a good thing that it was simplistic, so I decided to keep it pretty simple.

My predictions of the target audience were fairly accurate in my opinion, from what we saw from things like the demographics of the video. The most common age group that had viewed the video were 18-25 year olds that lived in English speaking countries, though if I remember correctly a couple of Spanish or Portugese people had seen it, but they don't count as part of the target audience. Unlike the unreliablity of certain peoples we did show the video to our class, quite a few of which would be considered part of our target audience. Another thing that I half expected was that they would prefer to see another video rather than a website seeing as most people I know that like the group would much rather watch videos than read content or actually by albums, let alone singles. I'll admit that I was a little disappointed that this was the case with our group, but I was glad at the same time since it meant they liked the video that we all worked hard on.

The TA seemed to like pretty much all of our video (oh how huge my ego must sound) With the video what seemed to be the most popular section was the part where it all rewound itself. Though one or two people didn't understand why it had happened, most people thought it was pretty clear. Another part that the people were joined in their veiw of is that the effects were excellently used. The target audience also responded well to the effects used on my webpage and digipak to create the more grungey, destroyed looks of the images within them.
