Audience Feeback

Over 4 days my video on youtube has managed to get 102 views! This means more people have watched my video already than the total number that saw last years. All thanks to Youtube and Facebook!

Rend Collective messaged me back! It's great to see some feedback from them :)

7 people liked and 9 people commented on the link that I posted on Facebook all of them were positive although whether this was because they didn't want to offend me or something like that is a different mater. All the people that commented were christian

Audience Research Results!

So I've finally got my results from the questionnaires that I sent round to people at my church. I sent them round to a load of people I know with a range of ages from 14 - 48. This has helped to give me a wider view of what the people think about general music videos, new musical tastes and how much christian music videos they have seen. This is what I found:
The ratio of male to female people in this survey was 1:1
Here are the graphs:
So what can I take away from these results? Well it is easy to see from this that a huge majority of the people that took the survey do like listening to new music and the music that I will be using is pretty new so satisfies what the people want. I can see that even though a lot of people have seen quite a few music video not many people watch christian ones. This is good because it is exactly the problem that I am trying to address as I carry on through this work. It does seem though that a lot of people like to see a bit of fun in music videos as well as it being serious. This is what I am going to try and integrate into my music video. I think it may be a good idea to try and do something quite special too like trying to get the whole video done in one take. I could then also add some fun things into it.

Audience Research

As part of my audience research I have created a questionnaire to hand out at my church to see what the general view is on christian music videos. I included these questions:

How much contemporary christian music do you listen to?
Do you enjoy listening to new music?
How many music videos have you seen?
How many christian music videos have you seen?
If its not a lot, would you be interested in this sort of thing?
What kind of music video would you prefer?
If neither please state what you would prefer?
Do you prefer music videos to...
Have you heard of the band 'The Rend Collective Experiment' before?

I will hand these out at my church this week and hopefully collate all the information the week after

Coursework Action Plan

There are many things that I need to look through before I even get anywhere near actually filming and editing the footage for my piece. I have decided that the song I have chosen is MOVEMENTS - REND COLLECTIVE EXPERIMENT. This song is a christian song so there are many different things I need to research for this video.


PLAN:

• Find Lyrics
• Look at original video
• Contact Band
• Look at inconventional videos shots/editing

Mood Board

• Look at other chrisitan music videos
• Find ideas that fit the lyrics

Audience Research (At my church)

• How many times they've seen music videos

Scripting/plan

• Character ideas
• Relate videos to lyrics

Storyboard
