Audience feedback helped us a lot with our video because the first idea we came up with was intended to be our final idea however, once we had put all the shots together and had created the video we noticed ourselves that it couldn't be our final idea and after feedback from our peers saying that the location we used wasn't good and it was quite boring because it had no narrative we decided we had to change our idea. We had a couple more failed ideas that audiences said were boring and didn't link with the song. Finally we came up with the stalker narrative, this had positive feedback from the beginning with people saying it was an interesting idea even before we had started filming. Once we had our final edit people said that the lip syncing was good, our locations were interesting and the mise-en-scene we used fitted in with the rock genre.
With my magazine advertisement, audience feedback helped me notice the mistakes that I hadn't originally seen. For example I had finished a final edit of my product and showed it to one of my peers and they noticed that I had put a banner saying that the CD will be available to buy on presale soon and then a box above it saying 'album out now', this is a huge mistake that would have gone unseen if I hadn't have asked for my friends feedback. Other than that I had some positive feedback about the layout, the shot I used and the colour scheme.
I started my CD by doing the front cover's first so I could get them completed before moving onto the inside booklet. I was happy with my first draft of this and feedback I got was really positive as well, the only thing I had to change was the song list on the back, some people said it would be better if it was smaller so it wasn't so crammed on the back. I then went on to the inside booklet which took me a little longer because even one's from the same genre were set out completely different so I had compared all the layouts and followed the one I like the most, I had positive feedback from this as well with people saying it looks professional and well laid out. I had some constructive criticism with this as well but it wasn't for what I had done it was what I hadn't done and they said I should add in to make it look better, this was to add in the writers of the song at the top of each set of lyrics and after doing so I would agree that it did make it look that little bit better.
