Final Evaluation: What Have You Learned From Audience Feedback?

The two main aspects of the video which I was most worried woulod not convey to the audience as I intended were:
>The stereotypical characters created each had a matching girl (e.g the geek boy had a matching geeky girl) and;
>The expected girl for each male character's date was not the outcome of the video, as they meet up with a different character to their stereotypical match. This i was trying to achieve through camera sequences and angles.
After my video was played to an audience for the first time, this is what i then asked. The feedback taught me that the geeks in the production were the most successful characters, this i think is down to the fact that a geeky persona is easier to portray then perhaps the other characters in the production, also the acting skills of these two actors seemed to be of higher quality.
The immature and jokey characters were the least obvious to the audience, from further discussion i realised this was down to the outfits worn by the charcters, as they were not fitting to the personality. Also there was not enough footage of them shown for the audience to get a great understanding.
I have also learnt that the final few shots of the video meant the unexpected dates were clear to the audience. The sequencing and camera angles (e.g the boy entering the frame at a different time to the girl) made the ending sucessful.
Overall the audience feedback reinforced my idea of humor throughout, however it led me to pick up on the possibility that the editing of the shots towards the end of the video could have been sped up slightly.
