Music video audience feedback

We gathered feedback using the questionnaires from ten people, some that already did Media and some that didn't to get a variety of different opinions.

9 out of 10 people thought our video matched the music and fitted with the indie genre - We were expecting a result like this.
8 out of 10 people thought we hadn't used too many effects in our video - we found this result surprising.
5 out of 10 people thought we should have included the band in our video - we were expecting a result like this.
7 out of 10 people thought there were no errors with our editing - we found this surprising as we were aware of a couple of small continuity errors that we imagined people would pick up on whilst watching.
10 out of 10 people found the video amusing - this result was expected as the aim of our video was to amuse people.
5 out of 10 people would change something in the video - 3 of these people said they would only change the amount of camera shaking. This was something out of our control as a lot of our filming was done on the move. 1 other person wanted to make the narrative clearer which is something I think we should have worked on. The final suggestion was to not repeat certain clips although we had changed the clips we had repeated.
4 out of 10 people said the narrative was easy to follow - this was expected as there's a lot happening visually in the video and our main focus was on keeping the audience amused so keeping a strong narrative wasn't our main priority.
6 out of 10 people said they couldn't think of any areas where we needed to improve - out of the 4 that said they had identified weaknesses, 3 of these were about the use of slow motion and the other was about camera shake.
1 out of 10 people didn't think we had any strong areas in our video - Out of the 9 that thought we had strengths in some areas, the majority said our choice of effects was a strength - something we found surprising as we thought we had used too many. Other areas of strength mentioned was our accuracy with timing and 1 person even said our continuity was a strength, although we knew about a few small errors.
10 out of 10 people thought our choice of props and location was appropriate for the music - we were not surprised with this result.

Overall we are very pleased with the feedback for our music video. I feel that we have achieved our goal of making a video that fits the genre and is amusing to the audience through our use of editing, mise-en-scene and props.
