1) Did you enjoy the music video – What was your most and least favourite part?
Yes after I realised and figured out the theme/concept, I enjoyed it. My favourite part was when the geek appeared because this is when I figured out the concept and idea behind the video.
1a) Can you summarise your thoughts on it in one sentence?
The beginning was weak, the middle was great then the ending was weak because when he was laughing, I was wondering was he not supposed to be freaked out. It made me question if that is the theme. That part in my opinion kind of messes it up because it didn't go with the music.
2) Did you think the story worked well?
Yes
2a) Did you understand the dream concept? (do you think it worked – yes or no and why?)
Yes, it was a little straightforward with the transitions between the pretty girl, the geek then the tranny character.
3) Rate the video from 1-10 and what is your reason?
7.5 - It was interesting.
4) Does the video compliment the song choice in your opinion and explain?
Yeah kinda, but I would have personally gone for an Ibiza club anthem to suit the video.
5) Would you buy or download this music video if it was sold? (What makes up your mind?)
No not really, it not the type of music I'm really into.
6) How well does the digipak fit/relate to the music video?
I really like it and I think it fits really well with the video, especially how colourful it is.
6a) Do you think the poster promoted the video positively?
The poster was really well done, although it was pretty simple, it was also very informative.
7) Overall does the print work support the atmosphere of the video (do they complement each other and work well to sell the music video)?
I think they work really well, all of the print work promotes the video well, with the relevant characters and similar colours - they carry a theme making it look professional.
8) What aspects would you change in this music video and would doing this in your opinion make it better?
Maybe the beginning part with the boy could have been done differently, I didn't think it was really that effective. Also when he was on the decks, there was too many effects going on, I felt if the pace was slower it would be easier to watch and take it in.
9) Do you have any other comments about the music video or the print work supporting it?
No, it really shows good effort.

1) Did you enjoy the music video – What was your most and least favourite part?
It was okay. I liked the club scenes and the geeky girl but I don't think the acting was realistic to be honest. 1a) Can you summarise your thoughts on it in one sentence?
I found it funny.
2) Did you think the story worked well?
I didn't quite understand what was really going on, I was wondering why were there the geeky girl and the funny looking man-girl (not even a she-male), which wasn't very clear.
2a) Did you understand the dream concept? (do you think it worked – yes or no and why?)
I could tell it was the boy's dream; he was daydreaming but again, not too clear I think.
3) Rate the video from 1-10 and what is your reason?
I would rate it a 7 as I didn't quite understand the video and the song isn't something I choose to listen to.
4) Does the video compliment the song choice in your opinion and explain?
I think it does, the disco music with the disco lights. I love the colours in the video... the disco balls and the poledancers!
5) Would you buy or download this music video if it was sold? (What makes up your mind?)
It isn't really my type of music so maybe not.
6) How well does the digipak fit/relate to the music video?
Yes, it is quite colourful but perhaps there is too much colour in my opinion.
6a) Do you think the poster promoted the video positively?
I think so.
7) Overall does the print work support the atmosphere of the video (do they complement each other and work well to sell the music video)?
Yes they do.
8) What aspects would you change in this music video and would doing this in your opinion make it better?
I don't really know, but I would consider a clearer storyline maybe. I don't really understand why the 'dreamer' is thinking of weird things while he is meant to be fantasizing about being a popular DJ and all.
9) Do you have any other comments about the music video or the print work supporting it?
A little less colour in the print work perhaps.

1) Did you enjoy the music video – What was your most and least favourite part?
It was kinda funny, I did like it overall, but I didn't really get the guy in the wig.
1a) Can you summarise your thoughts on it in one sentence?
Good but acting could be more realistic.
2) Did you think the story worked well?
I think the idea is good, about the cleaner guy dreaming of a better life, but at some parts where it didn't make sense, it could have been made and shown more better.
2a) Did you understand the dream concept? (do you think it worked – yes or no and why?)
At the beginning, I can understand that he was going into a dream, but it was a little unclear as to why he was imagining the geek and the man in the wig if he didn't like them, I didn't understand this part.
3) Rate the video from 1-10 and what is your reason?
I would give it a 7-8, mainly because in very minor parts, you could see the amateur skills, where the whole story could have been shown clearer to let us understand it better. But most of the shots are really good.
4) Does the video compliment the song choice in your opinion and explain?
The whole atmosphere works very well with the song, the choice of club is very fitting.
5) Would you buy or download this music video if it was sold? (What makes up your mind?)
I might, it's quite a catchy tune.
6) How well does the digipak fit/relate to the music video?
I think its very relative and eye-catching.
6a) Do you think the poster promoted the video positively?
Yes it did very well and straightforward.
7) Overall does the print work support the atmosphere of the video (do they complement each other and work well to sell the music video)?
Each part was very good, I liked this the best and it definitely reflects the video well.
8) What aspects would you change in this music video and would doing this in your opinion make it better?
Maybe to show the idea of his dream a bit better, it got a bit confusing, so if the storyline was more clear, I think I would have been able to enjoy it a lot more.
9) Do you have any other comments about the music video or the print work supporting it?
Nope, I've mentioned everything.

1) Did you enjoy the music video – What was your most and least favourite part?
It was pretty good, I really liked the geeky girl.
1a) Can you summarise your thoughts on it in one sentence?
Overall, it was really funny to be honest, especially when the geek smiled and although the man in the wig and moustache was weird, I was laughing at his bits too.
2) Did you think the story worked well?
I don't know why he was dancing with those different types of people, but I do understand he was dreaming, because of the dialogue at the beginning.
2a) Did you understand the dream concept? (do you think it worked – yes or no and why?)
I know he wanted to be a DJ, but still the middle part was a little confusing, but was fun.
3) Rate the video from 1-10 and what is your reason?
I would give it a 7, it was interesting to watch, but I just didn't understand a part of it.
4) Does the video compliment the song choice in your opinion and explain?
The song really does fit to the theme of the video.
5) Would you buy or download this music video if it was sold? (What makes up your mind?)
It's not the type of music I'm into, but it's got a good beat, I would listen to it again.
6) How well does the digipak fit/relate to the music video?
It's very suitable, it looks really cool.
6a) Do you think the poster promoted the video positively?
I like it, its very clear, and looks really good.
7) Overall does the print work support the atmosphere of the video (do they complement each other and work well to sell the music video)?
Yes they do, the colours mainly, like the lights in the video.
8) What aspects would you change in this music video and would doing this in your opinion make it better?
I wouldn't think to change anything, just make the middle part a bit more clear so when we watch it we understand what's going on.
9) Do you have any other comments about the music video or the print work supporting it?
Great job!

It fits very well.
