What have you learned from audience feedback?

When I had finished editing my music video, I decided to show a small audience of my friends and students in order to be able receive some feedback, I had discussions with them and got each of them to answer a few questions on the video the first one was discussing whether there was a clear link between the music and the visuals in the video all of them agreed and said yes there were with the main one being the performance of the song seen throughout the video. We also discussed if the audience were to watch the video without any sound would they be able to guess the genre this question was more spilt with half of them saying the genre wasn’t clear just from the visuals, however the other half disagreed and said the genre was quite clear along with meaning of the song which was all about love and protecting your loved one this would be clear from shots like this below of the male and female kissing cuddling and playful flirting. This is obviously very positive feedback for me as it means I have been successful in representing the artist and her music and in general I gained positive feedback from my friends and family with many of them saying they enjoyed the music video. To gain more feedback I have recently uploaded my music video on to YouTube but I am yet to gain any comments it also allows you to rate videos on YouTube, also i will post the link of the music video on to my facebook account enable more people being able access the video. Furthermore in the future my artist will upload the video on to their myspace profile in order to gain further feedback from members of the artists fan base.
