Evaluation Question 3



From our audience feedback focus group we had a lot of positive responses talking about the humour involved in the video. This is the response we desired from our audience. The lip syncing and acting was also well received, which we are glad about as it reflects the effort we put into it.

The only real improvement that could have been made would have been to have a drum kit, this would have made our video look more professional.


We also made an online survey on SurveyMonkey, these are our results presented in graph form.








This shows us that our video, which was aimed at teenagers, was rightly received and that the standard of the video was good according to the participants of the survey. They also thought that the lip syncing and acting was to a good standard.

There are still negative comments in this survey as there were ratings of 5 and 6, which is nit good enough, if i had more time I would investigate and do another survey asking about what improvements could be made.

Focus Group Findings - Analysing Similar products




In our focus group we were compared to many bands including Busted, Mcfly and Two door cinema club. As we established this as our target audience we looked at a video from one of the bands mentioned. Two Door Cinema Club - Something Good Can Work is the video that we looked at, we saw a very interesting use of colour and a lot of band shots. We used both of these aspects in our video, with the use of many colours of boxes, and we used a lot of band scene shots. As we are targeting the same sort of audience of two door cinema club, we thought it would be useful to mirror a lot of what they do to please the viewers of our video.

Montage Theory




These pictures make it seem as if the vegetables have a relevance to our penis sizes, this is due to the lyric "we're showing our sizes, the f***ing surprises, that yours hasn't grown"

Graphic Match

We included a graphic match in our video to add effect and show the parallel between the 3 boys and 3 girls that they are not actually very different from each other.
