Screening Feedback

We held a screening of our video to two audiences: year 13s on Friday and year 10s (I think?) on Thursday, getting them to fill in questionnaires for us (which we altered slightly after seeing how useless some questions were on Thursday). So here's the results in a shortened version:

Most (about 98%) managed to establish the story of our video or at least understood it.

Everyone partially or fully identified the song/artist's name.

Generally teh yellow text boxes could be read with only a couple being too fast including the one with the front door opening.

The comic book effect was well received with no one saying it was bad. Quotes include: "blates good", "adds variety", "favourite aspect" and our only negative one was "a bit washed out".

The split between buying the single or not was split almost equally. Females and year 10s were most likely to buy it with reasons being it was a good song. Reasons for not buying included liking the orginal better, it being a "girl's song" it was annoying, depressing.

Several poeple (10) suggested that nothing needed improving however others suggested the following: bettwe synching of the performance, changing the yellow boxes, male hero instead of female, more comic book stuff and less singing and smoother camera movements.

The comic effect was by far the favourite thing about the video with 10 votes from just 25 year 13s asked, and almost all of the year 10s. This was followed by Wonder Woman with 5 votes and the story with three votes. Other things mentioned include it being an original idea, the artist, the colours, ice cream (where it moves) and the transitions between shots.

Almost everyone would watch the video if it came on TV mainly for Ava, Wonder Woman and the comic effect being entertaining however not liking the song was the main reason for not watching or the repetitive nature of many shots.

THe question regarding which venues they'd expect our artist to play at wasn't answered too well, many saying they didn't know or not answering. However answers included the Astoria & other simillar sizes venues, small venues, "cotched clubs" (?), discos, general "indie" venues and medium capacity arenas.

TV channels that people thought our video would be shown on were mainly MTV/TMF/4Music/The Hits. One person said "kids TV" whilst two said Heart and one said Kiss.

Or ratings out of 10 varied from 7 to 9 with our average being 8.125
