Audience Feedback
Name: Beth Age: 18
Yes, I enjoyed it very much. I like the idea on how it wasn’t a typical dance techno music video because you added humour to it instead of it being enticing all the time. I really liked the buck tooth girl it was really interesting, and I never got bored throughout. I think the first girl wasn’t shown as much because it was quite dark so I didn’t understand what it was meant to be.
1a). Can you summarise your thoughts on it in one sentence?
It was original and funny.
2). Did you think the story worked well?
Yes, I think the way you came up with such a different story line made it different and unexpected which made it really funny for me. Also it was very creative and imaginative and I don’t think I would have thought of a story line like yours.
2a). Did you understand the dream concept? (Do you think It worked- yes or no and why?)
Yes I did because the colour change and the ripple effect made it clear that he was entering a dream trance. Also with the opening titles made it more clear too and interesting to see what is going to happen.
3). Rate the video from 1-10 and what is your reason?
I would give it an 8 because I enjoyed it and it didn’t get boring throughout the video which made it more interesting and kept me watching.
4). Does the video compliment the song choice in your opinion and explain?
Yes, I like the pace of the video because it flows with the song and I like how creative it is giving a new meaning to the song and not typical about having enticing girls throughout the whole video.
5). Would you buy or download this music video if it was sold? (What makes up your mind?)
No because I normally watch it on YouTube for free and would rather watch it on that rather than spending money on it when actually I can watch and download it for free.
6). How well does the digipak fit/relate to the music video?
Yes I think it does fit and I like the way you used the same theme in all of it like the vibrant colours and characters in the music video which linked to the advert and digipaks as well.
6a). Do you think the poster promoted the video positively?
Yeah, I think it showed all the correct information about the video and where we can download it from, so yeah that’s really good!
7). Overall does the print work support the atmosphere of the video (do they complement each other and work to sell the music video)?
Yes they do, I think the background and the colours used complements the music video by keeping using same colours like in the music video making it feel like a club.
8). What aspects would you change in this music video and would doing this in your opinion make it better?
Umm, I’m not sure to be honest, maybe just have the main actor speak more clearly.
9). Do you have any other comments about the music video or the print work supporting it?
No, not really.

1). Did you enjoy the music video- what was your most and least favourite part?
This isn’t really the type of music I listen to, but I’ve got to say wow! This was really interesting and I really enjoying it. Having different characters each time made it really funny and I didn’t get bored!
1a). Can you summarise your thoughts on it in one sentence?
Hilarious and unexpected is all I can say!
2). Did you think the story worked well?
Yeah it really did! It was really creative and wouldn’t have expected to interpret the song like you did.
2a). Did you understand the dream concept? (Do you think It worked- yes or no and why?)
Yes I did, especially with the colour change showed that his dream was all colourful and happy and the way it goes back to being black and white shows that his real life is let’s say really crap!
3). Rate the video from 1-10 and what is your reason?
I would give it a 8, I would say your camera angles were really good, and seemed really professional and I liked how you kept cutting in a fast pace which goes along with the music, so well done for that!
4). Does the video compliment the song choice in your opinion and explain?
Yeah, in a way it does because it shows that he really likes the girls and the lyrics are saying “ahh damn girl” emphasising his dreams about girls. So they both in a weird way link together.
5). Would you buy or download this music video if it was sold? (What makes up your mind?)
Not really, like I said before it’s not really the type of music I listen too, but it’s still really good.
6). How well does the digipak fit/relate to the music video?
The colours and the pictures are both able to relate to each other from the digipak and music video. 6a) Do you think the poster promoted the video positively? Hmmm, I think it’s really good but I don’t think it has persuaded me enough, maybe you could have used a different picture which is more out there like the background? But I think it is still really good!
7). Overall does the print work support the atmosphere of the video (do they complement each other and work to sell the music video)?
Yeah, like it keeps the theme running throughout like the text and background, and the way it made jokes inside the leaflet, it still kept the humour going which was just too hilarious!
8). What aspects would you change in this music video and would doing this in your opinion make it better?
Tough question to be honest, but I don’t think anything really...
9). Do you have any other comments about the music video or the print work supporting it?
No.
Name: Aaron Age: 18
Yes I did, the idea of it getting worse was so funny! Especially the transvestite who made me laugh like anything! I like how you used close up shots for the transvestite but maybe you could have added like a long show of the transvestite and close up shots of the girl in the beginning like you did with the transvestite and buck tooth lady.
1a). Can you summarise your thoughts on it in one sentence?
Was exciting and would like to watch it again.
2). Did you think the story worked well?
Yes I did.
2a). Did you understand the dream concept? (Do you think It worked- yes or no and why?)
Yes I did from the ripple effect used, but I think maybe the introduction to when he was speaking could have been clearer.
3) Rate the video from 1-10 and what is your reason?
6, I think maybe the introduction when the main character is talking could have been a bit more well played, like for me it just showed he was acting and I would have liked to see him actually more into wanting to play the decks and, but other than that the camera angles and the shots of lights and everything were really good!
4). Does the video compliment the song choice in your opinion and explain?
Yes, the dance movements with crowd dancing and the actors were in sync with the song.
5). Would you buy or download this music video if it was sold? (What makes up your mind?)
No, I don’t really think I would because I would normally just watch music videos on YouTube and download them for free, so yeah, not really the person who actually goes out and buys the album or pays to download it.
6). How well does the digipak fit/relate to the music video?
The colours and the character on the digipak which is also in the music videos, it’s like a little sneak peak to the cast in the music video which is kind of exciting, fits in very well!
6a). Do you think the poster promoted the video positively?
Yes, I really liked the use of bright colours, having the main character in focus and giving the right information to the audience on where to purchase it. So I think it was very effective.
7). Overall does the print work support the atmosphere of the video (do they complement each other and work to sell the music video)?
Yes, like I just said the colours and cast used in your print work give an insight to the music video and links very well with each other keeping to the genre.
8). What aspects would you change in this music video and would doing this in your opinion make it better?
I’m not sure really, sorry.
9). Do you have any other comments about the music video or the print work supporting it?
Nope.
Name: Bob Age: 22
Yes I did, I thought it was really funny! The dancing could have been more natural.
1a). Can you summarise your thoughts on it in one sentence?
It was funny and different.
2). Did you think the story worked well?
Yeah, it did, it was really creative, doubt anyone else would have thought of that when listening to the song.
2a). Did you understand the dream concept? (Do you think It worked- yes or no and why?)
Yes I understood it, mainly by when it went into colour and throughout it kept going to him when he was mopping.
3). Rate the video from 1-10 and what is your reason?
8, I think you used really good camera angles, you used fast pace cuts which were in sync with the song building up the nightclub atmosphere. I think I want to party there! Haha!
4). Does the video compliment the song choice in your opinion and explain?
I think because you took such a different approach to the song, for some it might be confusing, but I really enjoyed the way you interpreted it differently which was so funny! So yes it does.
5). Would you buy or download this music video if it was sold? (What makes up your mind?)
Unusually I think I would, the video and song interest me a lot and its very entertaining, so yeah I think I would.
6). How well does the digipak fit/relate to the music video?
I think they fit very well together, I like how your used bright colours in the digipak because that relates to the nightclub lights in the music video making it seem more like a club.
6a). Do you think the poster promoted the video positively?
Yes, overall I think the poster had the information needed like the links to where we can purchase it and the release date and the colours made it more appealing.
7). Overall does the print work support the atmosphere of the video (do they complement each other and work to sell the music video)?
Yes I think they do because the bright colours are used in both the print work and the music video, and it creates the theme of a nightclub.
8). What aspects would you change in this music video and would doing this in your opinion make it better?
The actors should be more fluent and stiff, I think by making them feel more confident would make it seem a lot more real, but otherwise it’s still really good, oh and yes, the main character should speak a lot more clearly because I didn’t understand what he tried to say at first.
9). Do you have any other comments about the music video or the print work supporting it?
No not really, other than it is really good, I think all your hard work has paid off.
Name: Priyanka Age: 19
YES!! That was hilarious! Especially the part with the transvestite popping into the camera made it really funny because of his characterisation. I also liked how it got more and more worse.
1a). Can you summarise your thoughts on it in one sentence?
I thought it was very creative and funny!
2). Did you think the story worked well?
Yes it did, it was a funnier and unexpected side towards the song.
2a). Did you understand the dream concept? (Do you think It worked- yes or no and why?)
Yes I did from the ripple effect changing the black and white scene to colours. That was really good!
3). Rate the video from 1-10 and what is your reason?
I would give it a 9, I really enjoyed it! The camera angles, the different types of shots and the story line all made it something different and unique and it isn't similar to other music videos which mainly focus on just certain types of girls.
4). Does the video compliment the song choice in your opinion and explain?
In a slightly unusual way it does by dancing with girls and moving it to the drum, however the song seems quite sexual and the video is humorous so in some cases some people might not understand it properly and would expect it to be more of a sexual video.
5). Would you buy or download this music video if it was sold? (What makes up your mind?)
Nope, I don’t really buy or download music videos if it being sold; I normally just do YouTube converter haha! So yeah, that way I’m watching it over and over again for free.
6). How well does the digipak fit/relate to the music video?
I think it does with the bright lights conveying the lights in the nightclub keeping the theme throughout.
6a). Do you think the poster promoted the video positively?
Yeah, I think maybe change the background to a more dark colour like black and add in lights instead of the one you have which makes the poster seem really busy in my opinion and takes the focus away from the title and artist name, but it’s still really good and provides enough information.
7). Overall does the print work support the atmosphere of the video (do they complement each other and work to sell the music video)?
Yep, it does, like I said before the use of bright lights used conveys the mood of the nightclub and characters on the digipack gives us audience a little insight on what to expect.
8). What aspects would you change in this music video and would doing this in your opinion make it better?
Nothing really, I think you did a good job!
9). Do you have any other comments about the music video or the print work supporting it?
I would say add the price of the product on the print work. Overall, great work! It has shown that you put a lot of hard work into it, so well done!
