Audience feedback

In order for us to gain essential audience feedback, we presented our music video to a variety of people, they then answered "what did you think of the production" on a sheet of paper where the audience were able to give personal positive and negative views of the music video. From the results we were extremely thankful for all given points as it allowed us to see any improvement for our production.


After showing our music video to our audience, we asked them for feedback on what worked well in the video and if anything could be improved.

POSITIVE
"Fluent narrative, worked well with the lyrics and was a clear image of a relationship"
"ancillary texts linked well throughout, you could cleary see it was all linked to the same artist...very professional"

"very well conformed to conventions of the RnB genre presented by other music videos"

"Great narrative and use of editing to create flashbacks"

"very realistic and relatable narrative, love the challanging of genders"

NEGATIVE

"would have been more cohessive if same font for 'Cincere's name' wasused for the song title on the ancillary texts"

" could present more of a pop genre"

"would like to see a little more of the artist singing on his own"

Planning Stage 2


As a group we came up with final ideas for what to include in our R&B music video. We created a multi media presentation in order to present our ideas to the class. Such elements we included were:
  • Costume
  • Props
  • Locations
  • Camera shots and angles
  • Our target demographic
  • Narrative aspects
  • Theory to use
In order to help us complete our music video, the contents of the power point will guide us through creating our music video by allowing us to add in micro elements that will help our music video appeal to the target audience and portray the genre.
We also created questionnaires that allowed us to research the R&B genre which gave us a structure for a R&B video and what elements we were to include the representations in our genre we chose.

Story Board

In order to create our music video to our best abilities enabling the narrative to be portrayed most effectively and professionally, we created a story board enabling all the elements of the R&B genre so that it caters to all the expectations of the target demographic and our ideas to be included in our music video.

Story Board which we used for our final production:












Planning Stage



This is our evaluation of Cincere's Music video. With in the evaluation we included many points such as:

  1. whether to challenge or conform to the codes and conventions of our chosen genre
  2. Whether to include elements that would typically be included in an R&B genre music video
  3. Do our ancillary texts present a continuously linked promottional pack (Digi-pack)
  4. Our audience feed back comment
By creating an evaluation of our music video it allowed us to bring together all our final decisions in order for them to make a clear conclusion.
