Post-Production Questionnaire Results - Question 6

The sixth question we asked was 'Please note three words you would link to the character in our video.' Of course in every music video with a narrative, the main character (protagonist/antagonist) is very important. It is very important that the messages you are trying to portray through the character reach the audience and that they fully understand the emotions and reactions of the character. The way the audience interprets the character influences their outlook on the whole video, and if they cannot connect with the main character then they will not understand the whole emotion behind the narrative. 
For us it was very important that the audience understood the main character because our music video is just narrative, and if the audience don't understand that this boy is emotionally unstable and obsessed with this girl, then they will think that his reaction to being stood up is an overreaction. 

Results for question 6

As you can see from the graph the top two most popular answers were obsessive and angry. These two emotions are quite different and definitely show that the audience perceive the boy as emotionally unstable. The next most popular answer was lonely. This answer definitely reflects the gender difference of our audience, as this is a sympathetic answer which mostly girls would use to describe and show empathy. Next popular answers were creepy and upset, again showing the diversity of emotion in the song and narrative. Needy and distressed were next popular, I think the neediness was shown through the post it notes and distressed was shown through the shots of him waiting and texting her. 
Quite interesting answers to this question were 'controlling' and 'possessive' as these are not adjectives we were aiming for, however this does show the emotional instability of the character which is the main aim of the music video. 
I think this answer definitely shows a range of emotions, some are similar but all in all they are very diverse and highlight that we were effective in portraying the emotions of our character and allowing the audience to understand his reaction.
