METHODS▸ To gain viable feedback that we could then later apply to our own media campaign, we had to come

up with effective measures that can measure audience feedback. The methods we used are below.

▸ We used a focus group, in this we chose people from the age of 17-24. We chose a 50/50 split male and female audience. at least 2 out of the 4 people were edgy and alternative and at least two wanted to be. This allowed us to gain a large range of feedback from the comments.

▸ We also did a questionnaire that allowed us to hit a much larger group of people so we can hit a much larger quantity of people, and get a larger quantity of people responding to our questionnaire.

▸ We also used Youtube statistics. This showed us the demographic of the people watching our music video, their favourite part of the music video, and when the viewers lost interest.

DEMOGRAPHIC AUDIENCE PROFILE▸ When we chose our audience profile we decided to choose 17-24 year old females and males. We decided that

from the Youtube stats feedback the star image of the masculine lead singer cleat best applied to young females and homosexual males.

▸ Also our focus group matched our because the demographic said that our themes were very edgy and alternative, and this was shown well through the use of our font and colour schemes. So this did not match what the Youtube stats showed. These showed that young females between the age of 18-30, and hardly any males. Our questionnaire was randomly handed to people without any regard of of our target audience.

SOURCES▸ Strengths- The strengths of our sources was that they both provided us with different kinds of

information. From our You Tube statistics, we gained rich quantitive data, this allows us to drop these in other areas of coursework. Where as the focus group was rich qualitative data. We could listen and pick out key concepts and ideas of our music campaign. For example below we can see our watch time in minutes from our Youtube statistics. Where as our focus group allowed us to pick out key frames like “the green in the band name does’t really make sense”, this is what Nancy and Alex.

▸ Weaknesses- The problems with our sources were that although we could see so much rich numerical data like the age and gender demographic of our audience, it did not tell us why these things were happening. For example we could see that the vast majority of our audience were females aged 18-30, but we could not see why this was. With our Focus group we only had four participants. This was a very limited sample to our original target audience and not all of the various sectors from our whole target audience represented.

STRENGTHS OF VIDEO▸ The strengths of our music video indicated from our

feedback was our star image. We created a very strong masculine image for our lead singer that after our watching our music video we did think what the Youtube stats showed us was going to happen. They revealed that the majority of our audience were females from the age of 18-24/30. The fact that so many females were drawn to his masculinity was a positive for us. And the age of the viewers was another positive. This was the target audience age range that we wanted and it is exactly what came up. I also believe that the lighting in the music video connotated to exactly what we intended and this is shown through he focus group. Hanna, Nancy, Alex and Phillip all said that our lighting made a dark alternative mood through the video, this is 100% of our focus group agreeing with this.

WEAKNESSES OF VIDEO▸ For me the main weakness was the number of viewers

who trailed of from watching our video after just 55 seconds. This suggests that we did not captivate our audience after our strong start. Further weaknesses are
