Evaluation - Audience Feedback + Combination of main product and Ancillary texts

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

From feedback that we received from the music video by our audience. We understood that our product had real developed and challenged forms and conventions of real media products. Comments such as "It looks like a real music video" made understand that the video was produced to a level in which it could compete with other music videos on the market.

We identified that most of Taylor Swifts songs are too do with love and relationships in general. Most of the audience are teenagers or young adults and are faced with raltionship issues on a dily basis. To meet our audiences' demands we had to do a video which connects with our audience, to which we did.

Audience feedback also helped in picking the best CD cover out of all the CD cover we made. We did a survey on Facebook and Google surveys online, which helped us in making our mind. The cover that we thought was suitable, the audience feedback also said the same. Our teachers feedback was cruical because they knew what was exactly expected from us.
Here is what one of our audience had to say after viewing the video. We did not only ask about how good the music video was we also aksed for critisism in order to know what we could have done better if we had to do the video again.

Overall the feedback was mostly positive. We understood the importance of feedback because these are the people who will be listening and viewing the music video. Out of all the people their opinions mattered the most. Due to feedback received we knew that we had made a video that connects with people who are experiencing the same themes we had projected on the music video.

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
Since we had to do two ancillary tasks along side with 0ur main product, we had to make sure they had a nice combination in order to market them well together. Since we was producing a music video we needed a CD cover for the track that will be featured on our music video. So that we could market this well and make sure everyone knows about our product we decided to create a webpage. A webpage was a good choice because most people tend to spend much more time online compared to reading newspapers or magazines. Both three of our products will suit well our target audience. This is because the video's theme is love and relationships, something commonly experienced by many young people today. A webpage is the best way for our target audience to get information about our product since they spend more time online compared to any other age group. The CD cover was suitable because we manipulated the image in order to captures our audiences attention.
All of our three texts offer brand identity because they are all have the same style and appearance the person used in the products is the same person. There are colors, signifier, narrative and genre in our products.
By looking at our audience feedback one can see the effectiveness of our products. Comments such as 'this is amazing' and 'i can relate to that' made understand that we had produced our texts in a professional way.
