Q3. What have you learned from the Audience Feedback?

We asked the audience to give feedback on our finished music video. We asked them
what there overall response to the video was and to name three strengths of the video, here is what was said;
One strength of our music video was the mise en scene, the audience seemed to like the fact we took into consideration Lady Gagas outrageous outfits and the styles she tends to have which cause controversy. Another strength mentioned was the fast and matching cuts to the beat of the song as it was upbeat, the fast cuttings meant that the audience was still captivated with our music video rather than drifting off. They also enjoyed the fun theme that ran throughout our video as it linked with the genre of the song, which is a happy up tempo song. The audience also commented on our editing, where we had reversed the final shot to create an effect of the balloons flying up which gives our music video a smooth finishing.
However, we had some suggestions for improvement, one suggestion for improvement was on the lip syncing as it was off in some parts of the song only by a split second but obviously was noticeable if the audience noticed it.

We asked a group there overall responses to the video and they said they thought overall that the performance was good and we had a wide range of different camera angles and shots, such as pans, tracking shots, close ups, extreme close ups, mid shots and high angle shots.
An area they chose to give us detailed feedback on was mise en scene they said we had good use of props they said the use of the umbrella, wig and the clothes reinforced the theme of fashion and link with the lyrics of the song.
They also said we used different locations and they were effective because the different locations had relevance to the song and matched it. We used natural lighting and studio lighting to ensure we had a variety of shots and to separate the two as the natural lighting enforced how lady gaga is in everyday life and the studio lighting showed the audience the stage lady gaga that they all know and love. We decided not to change anything in light of this feedback as we think our music video is representative of lady gaga and we are proud of it.
