Here are the summed up results of our questionnaire:
Do you like the
overall idea for our video?
Yes – 8
No – 1
The majority of people to take the questionnaire said they liked the overall idea, so I don't need to consider making changes here.
Do you think the
screenplay will match the song well?
Yes – 8
No – 0
Other – Depends
on editing
The same results come from this question. As long as I'm sure to edit successfully, the majority of people think the screenplay will match the song well, so I don't need to change it.
What part do you think
will be most effective?
Nobody who answered our questionnaire left this question blank or said that none of it would be effective. There are a good range of some of our main aspects here that I wanted to turn out as very effective, so this back up from our audience gives me more confidence in our ideas and indicates that they have potential to be effective.
What part do you think
will be least effective?
Six people thought nothing would be ineffective which is great. One person thought the part where the monster emerges from the cupboard would be ineffective as they didn't know if it would be symbolic enough. We're not going to change this as it is used for symbolic reasons. The person who thought the characters weren't an effective choice can have their views overruled, as they said it was down to the fact the acting may be hard to do. We're not marked on acting so this isn't a good enough reason for us to change our video. One person thought the birds may be ineffective as it would have to take very good editing to pull it off. I have faith in myself and the others to be able to edit this part well, so we're not going to let this affect our decision.
What do you think
could be improved?
Seven people didn't suggest that we need to improve anything, which is really good. One person suggested that we make our ideas more obvious, so we'll try and make the main aspects of our story more obvious. For example, we'll use a range of shots and editing to make it obvious that the girl's doll is her imaginary friend. Another person added that we could make our characters more strange to represent her strange view on life. We like this idea and we've discussed making changes in light of it, but we've decided to not change them because we think they all add together to create an emotional feel rather than a strange one.
Do you like the ideas
for the costumes? Comments?
Everybody but one person said they liked the ideas for the costumes, commenting things like "they seem cool" and "they fit colour connotations well". One person suggested that we make the costumes more symbolic. We feel as if the costumes we have chosen already symbolise everything we want to portray in the video, so we're going to stick with what we have.
Do you think the
setting is appropriate? Comments?
Everybody who filled in our questionnaire said they liked our setting ideas, so we don't have to consider changes here.
Do you have any other
suggestions?
Three people said they didn't have any other suggestions. One person advised we check the weather forecast to make sure our weather has good continuity, which we will do.
Another person told us to make sure we think everything through symbolically first. We have already done this and will continue to.
One person told us to make sure we put our message across more obviously. As I've already said, we're going to use a range of shots and editing to make sure all the messages are put across to the audience in the best way they can be.
Another person told us to have fun filming. We will!
We will, of course, "edit carefully" to make sure our video is as effective as possible, which is what another person advised.
