Evaluation Question 3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

I used used various ways to gather audience feedback.

I got comments from my teacher, classmates and friends. I got these from comments on my blog and facebook. We also did a video premier in my form during mentor time.

We handed out a questionnaire for the class to fill in. I consisted of several questions, first asking their age and gender. Then their personal music genre preferences and then questions about our music video. Unfortunately the age range was only between 14-16, this means that only the 16 year olds were in our target audience. Also, most of the participants in the questionnaire were female.

Here are several replies to questions we asked:
