What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Are they the right audience? - if you are breaking out of the bands established fan base what other questions could you identify - make this point in your evaluation. Age, Gender, Subculture ('scene'), Music preference?
You need to show your video to the group and record the audience feedback.
You also need to put it on a social networking site and encourage others to comment on it.
Some suggestions:
In what ways is the music video convincing, is it watchable?
Is the performance sell the band to you, do they come across as an actual group/artist?
How well edited - lip synching, repetitious, enough variety of footage,
MES - do the actors perform well, do they look right, are they styled like they are 'on stage', are locations convincing - 'expensive'?
How well shot - look attractive, composed well, suitable camerawork, 'expensive', variety of angles and shot types, quality of the image (grainy etc), well lit, any memorable frames?
Does it meet the genre expectations - can you tell what genre it is?
Do you understand the narrative?
How professional does the campaign look?
What improvements could be made?
Evaluate what you have learned about the success and effectiveness of your work, quotes, statistics etc are useful

How successfully have you constructed a consistent Brand Identity?

How successfully have you constructed a consistent Brand Identity?
- Image of the band - focused/sold on?
- Logos & Fonts
- Recognisable as the appropriate Genre(s)
- Attracts/communicates with the same and correct targeted Audience
- Colour Scheme
- Style and Design (ie surreal, minimalist, cubist, gothic?)
Finally - how effectively does the campaign sell the artist/song/album to the audience? Is it convincing in its job, any improvements? Have you constructed a suitable Brand Identity for them that will sell - audience feedback?
How to present - its a comparison so you need to see the comparison of the 3 products?
Voiceover makes it difficult to pick out key points - how can you anchor this?
Umms, aahs...sounds scripted?
A talking head to make it watchable? Screen within screen?

- Instruments/dancers/costume?
- What visual style (effects, colours)
- What choice of actors - how would they be represented?
- What type of performance, confident?
Evaluate: Consider how your video meets the conventions of your musical Genre, do they develop them, challenge them or follow them? For what purpose/effect?
Question 1- Form conventions of Music Video
- Editing reflects the pace/structural changes of the track (Music > Visuals)
- Variety of angles and shot types
- Can be performance, narrative and/or conceptual
- Relationship between the Visuals and the music/lyrics
- Dominance of CUs
- Location & costume changes/ not following continuity
- Beat edits to the tempo of the song
- Features the artist within the music video as a performer, cameo or character
- Convincing performance shot from multiple angles and shot types
- Performance has direct address to the camera
- Performance synching (Lip, Instrument) - Simulacrum (simulation of the 'real' performance, 'real' performer)
How does 'No Surprises' Play or Challenge these conventions?
Radiohead - If you break the rules - how does this sell the artist?
