Evaluation question 3

'What have you learned from your audience feedback?'


After we finished constructing our documentary, we presented this to a number of people for audience feedback. All the people present completed a questionnaire after watching the documentary, radio trailer and print advert.












Here is a copy of a blank questionnaire we got the audience to fill out after they had finished watching our documentary and looking at our print advert and listening to our radio trailer.

Here is also some more feedback we recieved from some websites such as YouTube and Facebook.


The feedback we recieved from people on YouTube was excellent and they both said that the documentary worked in different ways and we included some good information in our documentary the only real bad criticism we got was that of the vox popps and some of our cutaways.
This peice of feedback was from the Radio trailer we did. a huge part of the feedback was about how boring/monotonous the voice over was, this could be seen as our documentary's atmosphere was a bit boring at times. One of the pieces of feedback we recieved was about the rhetorical question we used which is great because we know we grabbed their attention.



We recieved excellent feedback from people on the social networking site Facebook. All of the comments are very positive which means we have succeded in making our documentary interesting to watch. One of the most occuring peices of feedback which we got was about how proffesional our documentary was which is a big acheivment for us.


We also put up our print advert on Facebook. We again received positive feedback from different audiences saying that they liked our print advert and thought it was very effective which is good because we have succeeded in making our product appealing to our target audience.

we designed a questionnaire to also gain feedback for our product. Here are the results from our questionnaire.


In conclusion the feedback we received was very positive for example how it links in together well and how proffesional it looks. The only reoccuring negative feedback we recieved was about the voice over being boring and monotonous, if we were to do the radio trailer again i think it would of been better to use a different person for the voice over.

Photographs for print advert and screen grabs of the production









Adjusting the exposure levels of the photo gave the tanned look.

Using photoshop we were able to copy the channel 4 logo and position it in its conventional way to a print advert.







Print advert draft

Instead of drawing out a print draft, we decided to go on photoshop and just roughly try out what our print advert would look like.
We liked the idea of having an image with part of her tanned and part of her not tanned which raises the question in our documentary "what is to tanned?". After playing about with the image for a bit we decided it would be too difficult to produce a print advert which was aesthetically pleasing for an audience so we gathered up more ideas.

We liked this idea best because we thought the changing sections of tanned and not tanned worked well and our final print draft became similair to this idea we had. We decided to produce the print advert in landscape because it is conventional but when we had finished our advert it still had a blank background which we thought was boring, which was were the sunbed tubes idea came in. Our idea ended up being 4 sections and each section got more tanned as you looked around going clockwise which we found would be most effective.
