(Female aged 14) the part with the poster, it would look better if they were saying it aswell.
(Female aged 17) the shots of the phone being there, then disapearing the hand moved slightly.
Research finidngs:
1] Our target audience new what our genre was straight away which shows we have adhered to pop conventions well and the audience are not confused by the genre aspect of our video.
2] They liked the way our male artist is dressed and the colours he wears. They break conventions with the pink and also appeal to a female audience.
3] They all said yes as they want to know more about himself and why he wants to bring love back around.
4] 3 shots that were loved were the hands in the shape of a heart, him facing the camera at the beginning and people holding the signs.
5] Generally, they all understood the concept of the video which meant we had represented the concept and theme well.
6] We took the videos of the phones out as we filmed Connor changing costumes that worked better and to solve the sound problem we will be detaching the audio and deleting it.
