gathering feedback

When gathering information you can use such sites as YouTube.com and face book, or emailing people the video and asking for suitable feedback.

Face book is best for showing friends your music video and linking questions and asking people to answer them. This is effective as friends are more likely to answer the questions appropriately, however friends tend to be more biased.

YouTube is most suitable for asking strangers what they think of your music video and asking questions, telling them you need answers if they mind taking the time to answer them. This is effective because it's not as biased as asking friends because they don't know you so don't worry about telling you the truth. However they may not bother to answer the questions and it is possible that no feedback will be given.

A simple and more discreet way would be to show family by taking the video home on a memory stick to show them, then ask for feedback directly. However, there is that problem again of family being biased, so you don't always get the truth.

Another option would be to e-mail anyone you wanted to, including people in a media profession that know what they are talking about. This is a good way as you will get an honest opinion and you know that they know what they are doing. However, e-mail can be risky, as you cannot always rely on getting a reply, especially if they are busy or don't check there e-mails regularly.

I think i will put my vidoe onto facebook for friends to see and take it home to show family. This way you are sure to get direct feedback a lot quicker than any other way, as the other options are more unreliable in that way. even though it is possible the feedback will be biased i will ask people (before asking questions) to be honest.

Questions i will ask will be: Is this video suitable to the indy genre?
Did you like this video (yes or no)? Why?
Does this video hold your interest?
What do you think the storyline of this video is?? explain...

These questions are to the point and suitable for the feedback i am after. And they won't take up much of ther time as there are only four of them.
