Audience Feedback for my Music Video

As part of my audience feedback to help improve my music video, our media class conducted a session where we rotated around the classroom watching and giving anonymous feedback on each others music videos, only one of the questionnaires isn't anonymous as the respondant gave her name in error but this hasn't caused any problems during my changes.
Below are the scanned copies of the questionnaires which I asked my class mates to fill in after watching my video.






Strengths of my music video:
From my audience feedback I have noted the things in which other people like about my video, some which I didn't necessarily think worked but it has helped me to get other peoples perspectives of my work.

Most of the respondents liked the use of text/title at the beginning and end of my video 
which is something I also like and will definitely keep it.

A lot of people also liked the overlay I used throughout the video of food colouring and ink.

Another strength and something I learnt from the audience feedback was how people understood the signs throughout my video such as pop and being out of control. The majority interpreted it the way I wanted them too and understood why I chose to include certain props etc.

Weaknesses and things to improve:
Most people mentioned that some of my footage including lip syncing is out of place which is something I can fix by simple editing and moving the clips to fit with the timing of the music. I may also need to cut some of my footage to fit in time with the music.

Another thing I need to change about my video which I learnt from the audience feedback was an issue with the colours and coverage at certain parts of my video where the overlay looks too heavy and you can't see the artist well enough, causing an issue with my idea and picture of a strong and iconic artist who should be bold and constantly the focus of the video. To recover this I am going to need to re watch my whole video and make sure the percentage of the opacity is correct and works well with the image underneath it. 

Another area of my video I need to improve on which was suggested by my audience feedback is how the artist is static and we only really get one camera angle focusing on the front of the artist. I agree with this feedback because I feel that the video gets slightly 'boring' with just one perspective, however my idea was to keep all focus on the artist and their strong image and in some aspects using a range of different perspectives and camera angles may have taken this image away and brought more focus onto the way the music video has been filmed instead of who is in the video and what I want to represent. Now that I have nearly finished my video and have certainly finished all filming for it, it will be a challenge to re film parts in different angles, this leads on to my reason for adding more depth and dimension to my video by adding colour and dripping water which makes it aesthetic and 'visually interesting'
