I collected feedback from members from my media class as they are familiar with the codes and conventions from their own assignments and therefore their constructive feedback enabled me to make the appropriate improvements to my video. Members in my media class, both male and female also comply with my teenage target audience with the majority of them being within the age group of 16-19 years. By playing the video to my peers and recording their feedback and posting it on my blog I was able to watch their response as many times as I needed and apply and consider their advice to my video. It's was originally how I began the project when I filmed audience feedback on the viewings of existing videos by my chosen artist, Nicki Minaj. The feedback enlightened me to what audiences liked and disliked about her unique distinct style and also the genre of her music, I chose both a male and female peer in order to achieve an opinion from both genders. I did this again when evaluating my own video however this time I had the ability to adapt and edit my video to suit my target audience. I saw this as a positive, as opposed to criticism of my video. By creating a youtube account and uploading my video I could also gain feedback from other youtube users using the website almost like a social networking site, I identified that people who use the site must enjoy making videos and watching them and therefore by asking people to subscribe to my youtube page increased the number of views on the video. However I still wasn't satisfied and wanted to improve my video further and get more feedback so I could tweak and adjust my video to suit my audiences needs further, so I posted the video onto the social networking site 'Facebook' for my friends to view and post comments on how it could be improved, I asked them to look on my profile and write comments of what they thought to the video and any improvements they could suggest for me. This was helpful and people were complimentary of the video, the characters were also able to view the video for the first time which was positive.
In terms of genre, the overall opinion from teenage audiences is positive on the RNB/Hip-hop genre with both male and female, however perhaps some of the lyrics seem controversial and inappropriate to the more mature audience. I also personally feel that the younger audiences should perhaps not be so exposed to the lyrics from the genre with most of them referring to materialistic items, sex and drinking. Research has shown that RNB artists tend to use one another as an example as opposed to competition also by many album tracks being featured by perhaps another RNB artist. The genre appears to be very current appearing online in charts everywhere including iTunes, you are able to search the RNB genre for a list of songs that comply with the genre. Filming in Pozition nightclub hull also enabled me to see that there is an entire floor dedicated to RNB music, this proves very popular with the teenage target audience that my video is aimed at, therefore confirming the popularity of this genre of music.
