Audience Feedback on Our First Cut

I decided to do a survey to give the people I asked a simple job in determining what we needed to improve on in our music video. I asked people to fill out 10 different questions and asked two girls age 17+ and two guys aged 16+. The questions I asked were;

1. Out of 10 how would you rate our music video?
The first question resulted in three 7/10 and one 8/10, I was happy with the scores because that means if our first cut is 7/10 we get push it up to 9/10 or maybe 10/10.

2. Which was your favourite part?
The two guys said the favourite part of the music video was when Harry dropped different items out of the window, while the two girls said that their favourite part was the quick beginning shot of the street. They said that the video was perfectly in time with the pace and it led in well with the next shot.

3. Which was your worst part?
The parts that all four said they didn't like was the shots when mine and Harry's faces are in the dark and they can't see us lip syncing. This was the part we fixed by re-filming this as part of our reshoots, we didn't have any of these problems in the reshoot.

4. Which was the funniest part?
Three of the four I asked said they found the scene when I rode down the Chauncy hill on a bike, and made crazy faces to the camera. The guy who said otherwise chose time when Harry dropped stuff out of the window, said that it was the funniest and favourite thing of the video.

5. Which part needs the most improvement?
The two guys and both girls said that the part that needs the most improvement is when Harry is lip syncing with the punch bag behind him. They said that it was too blurry and the shots were too diverse.

6. Is the camerawork good enough, if not can it be improved?
Everyone said that the camerawork is good and that the only problem was the stage shots at the end of the video. For the reason that it wasn't framed well and that it didn't look as good as the other shots, particularly the shots with Harry and I lip syncing.
 
7. Is the editing good enough, if not can it be improved?
The four people I asked all said the pace of the music video was fine and that the begining was a bit too fast and they couldn't really see whats going on.

8. Is the pace correct or is it to slow/fast?
I decided to do a survey to give the people I asked a simple job in determining what we needed to improve on in our music video. I asked people to fill out 10 different questions and asked two girls age 17+ and two guys aged 16+. The questions I asked were;

9. Does the video look amusing?
They all found the video amusing and said that the only average scene that didn't make them laugh was the shot's when I'm lip syncing in the hall.

10. Does our music video look professional?
The two boys said that the video does look professional but when people were saying 'bonkers' you could clearly see they were in school because of the lockers in the background. The two girls said the same as the guys but they also added that the slow motion, black and white shot of me going down the hill didn't fit in.
