Audience feedback


I made a questionnaire which included my embedded music video, an image of my poster, and an image of my digipak, below are the questions I asked and responses I received. 
Forms response chart. Question title: Do you think there's a story behind it?. Number of responses: 21 responses.
As the narrative I applied to my video wasn't heavy, I accepted this result and was glad the majority could imply some sort of narrative.
What story line did you get from it if checked 'yeah' or I 'guess'?11 responses
Maybe she was looking for someone or missing someone.. maybe a love interest..?
A wandering girl? With an ominous feeling? She's lost someone or something?
A soul searching path to find herself ✨ and she found it, in her own little bedroom, just as the duck felt safe and at home in its pond 🦆
A girl processing a hard transition in life.
Heart broken and looking for a way of escape
A girl is feeling alone and forgotten almost, stuck in a limbo. She misses someone who has left or no longer around and is struggling to get over it or think about anything else!
I initially thought it was about a girl living in mediocrity trying to find meaning in life. After looking up the English translation of 'Quand Vas Tu Rentrer' however, I now realise it's a story about longing; waiting for a love to (or never) return.
A loss of someone loved which causes a girl to lose herself and contemplate her past (potentially with someone???) Idk but Can feel the emotion and her desire for or missing of someone dear to her :)))
maybe someone thinking about a person or ex from their past and reminiscing on memories, going to places they’ve been together
Woman knows she is being followed by camera so makes special effort to appear thoughtful/whimsical
Mental health

Although some were more jokey responses, a few guessed it right, I feel it didn't matter too much as it was also open to interpretation.
Forms response chart. Question title: Does it look like it belongs in the genre of Dream pop/Neo-psychedelia?. Number of responses: 21 responses.

The results here were good as it shows the majority found it fit with my genre and no one thought it didn't/

Can you think of any way to improve it?21 responses
Maybe more bright colours to match the digipack? But I really like it!!
It is perfection! Much love from India :)
The title on the CD cover is the same as the back ground it's difficult to read and it blends in.
More variation in effects and more shapes
no it’s pretty :)
Possibly make the video in the centre a but brighter coz it propperror contrasts with the background innit, but ik u can't control the weather so it's not totes a problem.
Perhaps more contrasting colors, because the color layering was really effective when used.
Nothing comes to mind.
No - amazing!
Make the scene including train journey sky shorter. It was really clever with the electrical grid wires but was a tad too long. And maybe avoid the poster signs on the train, as they are a little distracting but they are only minor things.
It's very good. Only suggestion I'd have is to have the words 'Quand Vas Tu Rentrer' appear on screen whenever Hannah says it in the video. You could potentially have it appear in a different place of the screen every time in various fonts - It would emphasise the depth and meaning of 'When will you return?'
nahhh 10/10 would watch again :))))
Some shots are perhaps too slow for the tempo, perhaps speed up the shot of the train setting off?
add more ducks!!
Dancing (see link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KyUmAOtGa0
Greater variety of camera angles
I think the effect are a bit over used
Not particularly
Some of the flickering feels out of time
No honestly it was really really brill! well done!
improve lighting in some sections of the video as it was hard to clearly see details in shots.

Most of these are helpful for my evaluation as it tells  me what I did well and what I could have improved

Forms response chart. Question title: Are there any specific sections you like?. Number of responses: 21 responses.

Please elaborate20 responses
I liked the train lines in multiple windows I also liked the aesthetic. The imagery was pretty and trippy. I thought it was clever that the beats were timed, particularly when the protagonist was walking down the stairs.
All sections... You’re v.consistent
The latter section when she's in her room
When the cameras spit on the train wires and the things were zappin around
i like that you used a small screen on top of other videos and the flashing inverted colours
The background and the visuals of the centre
Color contrast within the frame within frame shots, additionally I really enjoyed the syncing of movement and imagery to sound particularly when both inner and outer shots matched or reflected the beat or sound.
I love the kaleidoscope effects you did through out. I also appreciate that you began and ended with the ducks in the pond. It felt like that gave your video closure.
Love the background patterns, love Hannah lip-syncing, amazing video footage of nature
The scenes focusing on her facial expressions were engaging - I felt I could empathise. Train wire bit was good too. And the synchrony of the flashing background with music was effective.
At the beginning when the scenes shift, snap and change in time with the music.
The lip syncing bit
The synchronised filters, the montage of woodland scenes and the train taking off.
the editing style (it fits really well with the genre and style of music) and the ink in water with the kaleidoscope effect
I DID
The square on square thing
I like the effects of the rail lines, and the merge of the shots
The backgrounds when they’re mirrored horizontally
So many but I remember when the box in the middle started shifting sizes that particularly worked really well with the whole dreamy psychedelic thing
the background videos, they were really trippy and cool. it reminded me off the Skins opening credits.

These answers were good as it showed what I did well and if my video was engaging to an audience. This feedback was positive which is great.
Forms response chart. Question title: Do you think my digipak (album cover), poster, and music video work well together?. Number of responses: 21 responses.

I was happy with this answer as it shows that my audience believes my products work together as a group well.
