Additional Evaluation of feedback- what did you learn from the audience feedback

Getting feedback from my classmates and teacher was really helpful, as it offered me both constructive criticism and enabled me to understand what i had done well. On presenting the pitch, i felt it was crucial to engage the whole of my classmates and in order to do this, i needed to summarise my points and use limited amount of fillers as it made the speech come across as professional and also formal. I aimed to use as limited informal language as possible, in order to express myself efficiently and clearly. However, from the feedback i understood that this wasn't necessarily the case as i was told to cut down on fillers and use more precise terminology in order to portray why i chose the music video. Again, getting feedback like this was really beneficial based on the fact that i was able to see what wasn't working well for me through various other individual perspectives. In addition, fortunately i was able to re-do my speech in order to turn some of the critics into positives. Understanding what i needed to do was vital and thus allowed me to express myself in a more accurate and coherent way second time round. Similarly, i also  received criticism for not including the costume that i'll be using in my video. This was a reminder rather than a criticm to me because it reminded what i needed to implement and discuss next time. Furthemore, from the feedback it indadvertedly became apparent that i had forgotten to put the evidence from the artist that i was allowed to use his song, this was really significant and knowing that i hadn't done this, allowed me to approach the artist and conversate about making the proof visible.

On the other hand, the feedback from the pitch i was also able to gather that it wasn't all negative the positives were also voiced out by my classmates thus allowing me to denote what i had actually done well. For example, amongst the discussion i understood that i had outlined the locations of my music video in depth thus enabling me to convey my thoughts about my artist in my own way. Understanding what came across as engaging in the eyes of others was really significant, as it allowed me to keep the idea and the methodology in the way i had primarily chose to. In addition, i was also told that my analysis of the target audience was done minutely as i made it clear what my target audience would be through analysiing the lyrics but also with the location. It quickly became clear through my genre of song that i would aim the song for working class elderly teenagers. It was explained in the pitch that this was a realistic target audience because the lyrics are relatable to them and thus becomes meaningful.

In conclusion, i would say that getting feedback on my pitch was helpful as it allowed me to change certain aspects of my pitch in order to make it more engaging to the audience but at the same time keeping it formal.
