Like Music To Their Ears

Our music video is directed towards everyone. Music is very powerful and it can have an influence on anyone who it touches. When we asked people for feedback we was not being picky or sending the video to a specific or targeted group of people. We literally sent it to to anyone and everyone.

However from the feedback attained we acknowledge from the YouTube video statistics that the video has hit every continent. From Europe to Africa to America. We also noticed that the video is viewed mostly by males with YouTube accounts of different ages.

We originally set out to spread the song and video to everyone, but as a result we have recieved more feedback and views from males. The song is an R'n'B track and it seems that it has been well received by both male and female audiences. However according to statistics and feedback, males seem to appreciate the video more. Perhaps because the song is told from a male's point of view. In the images above red hearts represent comments from females and blue lightning bolts represent comments from males. There are 13 comments from females and 14 comments from males.

On the other hand it also came to my attention that the majority of females who gave feedback were young American females. It might be that they have a thing for the scenery which is London or that the instrumental or lyrics were touching. Either way, all of the feedback is greatly appreciated. We gave our viewers music to their ears and with their feedback they returned the favour.

Back To The Drawing Board

Over the course of one week our music video has attained over 1,500 views and we have received ample amount of critical feedback through various outlets and social networking sites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

All in all, the video has been well received, the audience love the song, the lyrics, instrumental, scenery, editing and the video itself. The majority gave positive feedback with little to no complaints. The negative feedback that was received the most was that the characters were very hard to see. In other words the lighting was bad or the shots were not close enough.

Our Media teacher is suggesting that we redo some scenes from the video. Our music video contains really good editing and shots but altogether it could be better. We, the team agree but because we spent so much time focusing on media and neglecting our other subjects we are now finding it hard to find time to re-shoot the parts that need to be updated.

We also noticed the song isn't in great sync with the video. This is because we filmed the video with the older version of the song and used the new version of the song for the actual video. We are taking all the improvements into consideration, the only thing that is against us is time. Moreoever the actors we used are no longer available especially as we are all back to school.

Another thing is that some of the actors are not comfortable with the camera being so close to them, especially with a bright light in their face. For example October laughs at pretty much everything and we doubt we would be able to capture more than a second of a close up for her.

Would this mean we would have to film a whole new video with new actors? We hope not, however on the other hand we are considering doing another video, this is how much we love media. Let me speak for myself actually. I love media with a passion. When it comes to media I am very creative, determined and focused. Doing a new video would not be stressful at all, it would be a pleasure. Then again time is our only constraint.

If we do a new video with a new song this is the instrumental we would use, once again produced by me in free time.



We are planning to do a song based on guilty conscience, inspired by Eminem's and Dr. Dre's 'Guilty Conscience'.

Have A Look

The music video is up, over the holidays we have met up and worked so hard to acheive this end product. We have gained great feedback so far.
