Audience Feedback

Having four sisters and their friends and boyfriends between the ages of 15-24, I had access to 12 mixed gender and mixed cultured young people, who I shared my findings about editing techniques and camera movement with (in the previous two blog posts). I played them the song for the music video (The Hop - A Tribe Called Quest) and asked them which techniques they would like to see most in the video for this song.

• The overall opinion to the time lapse shot, was that it is interesting but wouldn't fit with the song.
• Around 60% of people said that they like the stop-motion effect, so I will consider using this is my final product.
• 10 out of 12 people want to see hand-held camera shots as this would create a more fun atmosphere and make the video seem more accessible and similar to something that they could do or make themselves. 
• Everyone liked the tracking shot and they felt like it gives a lot of character to the video. It makes the audience feel like they are there in the video. 
• Most people felt that the slow motion idea doesn't fit with the mood of the song.
• 8 out of 12 people felt that panning shots are interesting.
