After we had posted our finished video on the blog and added pictures of the clips, we got some peers form our class to watch our music and ask them to fill in a questionnaire about what they thought of the video, did it sell the artist to them and if there was anything that we could have improved on. Here are some of them:
1
This girl said that she liked the shots that were taken as there was a good variety from close ups to long shots which showed our ability with the camera. She also said that the quirky shots and the dancing fitted in really well with the song and matched well. The only thing that she said could have been improved was more shots of the dancing, however she said that she liked the performance shots which was really important to us as we were doing a indie video which heavily involved performance sections.

We then asked two males what they thought of our video. They said that the shots were good, the setting was appropriate and that there were some good shots and inclusion of the band which they said sold the artist to them. Furthermore, they said the lip syncing was good along with the guitar playing and the song was catchy. Their only thing to improve was the use of more narrative in detail as they wanted it to be more expansive. Although we take on what they have said, we would have to think carefully and decide if we were to do it again whether we would add more narrative as the performance is more important than the narrative.
They gave us 27/40

The next one was by a male and female group. They really liked our music video and were a fan of Miles Kane so this would help us if there was anything we could have done better.
They said that it looked professional, the locations and costumes were good for the mise en scene, the genre conventions were fine and sold the artist to them as well as the video. Also they said that the music video fitted well with the song as the dancing and shots from the video fitted in well with the upbeat song.
They gave us 23/40

This questionnaire was filled out by a all girl group. They said that the performance shots and the lip syncing were really good in our video and the video overall was suitable for the genre as well as saying that we sold the artist to them and that the shots within the video were appropriately used and fitted the mood of the song. The only criticism they had for our video was that some of the drumming was out of time, we tried before finishing the video trying to move it and change it to get in time with the beat of the track but for some reason it just wouldn't go in time.
They gave us 30/40
After looking at all of the feedback from our peers, I made a "wordle" similar to what we did with the lyrics from quicksand. I've added some of the words from the questionnaire and combined them together:
When looking at the wordle, the biggest words are the most important and the key things Such as Miles Kane ofcourse, indie , catchy, Mise-en-scene and lip syncing which are all vital and make up the majority of our video.
