Audience feedback was hugely rewarding as it gave me a direct connection with the audience and a chance to understand what they thought of my pieces. This was very helpful as when they didn't like something, they were quick to tell me and point me in the right direction.
My first connection with my audience was throught the polls on my blog; they were simple questions such as "what are your favourite colours?" But they proved very useful as they helped me to understand what my audience would like to see in my music video.
The majority of my audience said that their favourite colour is red; this was very helpful as, as my music video has recurring themes of love, I could use the colour red to connote feelings of love, such as the car the boy drives, or the reds in the leaves in my album release advert.
I also was directly able to ask my audience if they liked my idea; the first time I asked, half said 'no, I don't like it', but the other half said they liked it but it needed changes, which is what I did. When I came back with a new idea and asked my audience, this time I got positive feedback.
I also gained a lot of valuable opinions by talking directly to my peers and asking what they thought of my piece, as well as posting on facebook and making polls. This was a helpful approach as it was more direct than facebook and people could talk to me and directly give me their opinions on what they though of my work.
After receiving all types of feedback, I found it incredibly helpful into creating my film, especially as a lot of the feedback could be very critical and people aren;t afraid to say what they think of your work. Feedback helped my products develop all the way through up to now, and my audience have directly shaped it through their opinions and expectations. Audience feedback is incredibly important to have, because in order for your product to be succesful, you need to understand your audience!
