Throughout my four years of media I have always been aware of how important audience feedback was. However, it has become increasingly apparent that audience feedback is absolutely vital within a project as large as this. As the designer of a project, it is hard to critique your own work and with such a great deal of time and effort going into this project it is hard to see the faults, therefore, audience feedback has never been more necessary.
Throughout the early months of this project receiving feedback was important as it helped us change faults that were minor to repair. However, it was when we thought our video was completed that the big blows came. At a creative arts evening held by the school, all of our work was displayed and feedback then received. It was on this night that we were made aware of details that were not accurate within the video. For example, lip-syncing, lack of shots, quality and other minor details. As a group, we watched the audience as they watched our video so that we could get a small insight as to what they were thinking with their facial expressions and body language, it was during this when we realised there were errors within our video. During this feedback I also realised that they were not totally dismissing the video just giving constructive criticism that would help us, not hinder us.
It has become apparent to me and my group that after continuous editing, day after day our judgement had become clouded as to the standard and quality of our video. However, this feedback, although harsh and critical was valuable as we were told exactly what was wrong, from unbiased views and this aided us in re-filming sections and being able to better our grades.
This project has really made me realise that audience feedback is one of the most important things when constructing a project and feedback should never be put on the back burner, as it is critical in achieving a better grade.
