Feedback from classes

Today I showed our video to some classes in the lower school, year 11's, 10's, 9's and 8's. It was very useful to me and I was given some very good feedback from them. I found it very benificial to do as they were very honest about their opinions and simply said what they think worked and what they think didn't. Because they havent seen our video before, I was able to simply see what they initially thought of it. It was nice to be able to see people watch the video, to see whether they were engaged to watch it, and then to hear their different opinions about it. Below are some of their opinions on our video:

Yr 9,10,11:

Positives

- appealing because actors are a similar age and they have all attended Kings School

- like the fact it is all based locally (Sidmouth/Ottery/Exmouth), helping it to promote Devon well

- very clear storyline, which interested most of the class

- made some of the class want to get in a relationship so they can be like Jess and Tom

- someone stated "it is a lot better than I expected, I did not expect it to be that good"

Negatives

- storyline is only clear if you watch the video right from beginning to end

- bit confusing at the beginning

Yr 8:

Positives

- could clearly tell the storyline when asked what it was about

- like all the different locations around Devon

- thought the guitar shots were good and liked how it was comparing their two lives

- thought it evokes emotion well, making people feel sorry for Jonny

- when asked, the majority said they would watch it again

- someone said it is something that you would see on TV

Negatives

- thought that the singing could've been more believeable as you could tell he was lip syncing

-  some of the yr 8 boys said it didn't appeal to them due to the fact it was about love
