How Peer Feedback Helped Us Within Our Work



For this example of peer feedback, Jack and I were unsure on which picture to use as a feature on our Digipak, and I decided that it would be a good idea to upload the picture via the social networking site Facebook, this was an efficient way of receiving feedback as I have over 600 'friends' on Facebook, and if I asked many nicely I knew they would kindly help me out by giving me their opinion. I posted this picture on my Facebook walla asking people to comment on which picture was most effective, I added a description which showed informed people what the picture was for, and also to let them know that this was not our finished product, is was more a prototype in order to ensure we made the right decision. Because Facebook has a recent updates function, the picture was able to be published quickly and effectively on the Facebook home page, allowing many people to be able to see and add their opinion to the picture.

Here you can see that people were very helpful and efficient with the feedback they gave to us, and this helped Jack and I to decide that the photo on the right was more effective. Not only did they comment on which they thought was most effective, people gave us constructive criticism too, which enabled us to cater for many peoples' needs and all in all get a better look out to the audience. Typically my age of audience is our target audience for this music video, which was why it was even more helpful that I put it on Facebook, as is it enabled me to get a grasp on what people's opinions were. I will definately be using Facebook again if I need anymore help when choosing between another 2 images. I will be using things such as Youtube to help me with feedback too, as many viewers visit that site each day and a variety of different locations and ages will be able to view our video, and via the comments functions, they will be able to give us their thoughts and opinions of what our music video could be improved on.
