Spreading the word! (external companies)


Now that i've made my stop motion and people seem to like it, I think it's time to spread the word!

This included sending emails to various companies and television channels in order to get a professional opinion:


This is what happened!




I decided to send this to the Horror Channel due to my ident being horror themed, my email had been successfully sent, but as of yet I have not heard any response from the Horror Channel, for now I am just awaiting feedback and a general opinion from them.




Feedback


Now, when it comes to getting an opinion on what people thing of your product, feedback is key! 

Below I will show you some examples of feedback I got from numerous people via social networking sites or threw personal contact.


Firstly through Facebook:     

I was pleasantly surprised at the positive feedback I received through Facebook upon asking people what they thought about my ident. Some of the responses can be found below:





I initially asked the people above a general question of what the thought about my ident, they then said wether they liked it or hated it. To get a more in depth analysis I asked why, the responses are what you see above.

Not all the feedback I got was positive, yet I took the negative feedback into consideration and will rectify the problems next time I attempt a video such at this.

As well as the negative feedback, I also took the positive feedback into consideration, the techniques that people liked I will use again if ever attempting this genre of film. 

One of the main problems came with the lighting featured in my ident, some people mentioned that it should be darker at parts, so to rectify this I would lower the brightness and potentially the saturation.

Other people also stated that it needs to be slightly more realistic. To rectify this problem I would lower the amount of vignette used in order to stop the image blurring so much in the corners.
