From audience feedback on my music video, magazine advert, and digipak, I learned:
- The bus location was a favorite so I focused shots on the bus to represent the genre.
- Feedback confirmed focusing solely on my artist to represent the folk/acoustic genre through clothing and guitar.
- All elements followed folk/acoustic conventions so I emphasized the natural theme and locations.
- Feedback informed changes like focusing more on the natural locations during singing parts.
