What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

• After putting my documentary on twitter I received this feedback from Elisa who thinks it is ‘very interesting’ and made her want to watch the rest of the documentary. The criticism she gave us was that our framing for our interview with Hypnotherapist. Dawn Reynolds-Smith wasn’t as good as it could have been. When we was editing our documentary we did try to change the size of the clip to make it look more professional.

• We knew the print advertisement wasn’t the best part of our overall 3 productions. This also seconds the comment that our banners could have been more interesting as they were very plain. However he did comment saying the editing on the picture was ‘’nice’’ which shows that the print advertisement wasn’t that bad.

• Again, someone has mentioned that the text needs to be clearer which we are aware of. However, although the banners weren't to a high quality, the oveall focal image of the print ad was very difficult to make and I think considering the editing was complimented it makes it look more professional.

• Sharon thought the documentary was ‘very interesting’ as the interview with the wet cardboard ‘made her smile’ which shows that the documentary is entertaining as well as informative.

• Jennifer commented that the documentary was ‘very professional’ and also that the questions we asked people were ‘open’ which shows how we tried to make the questions more open to get more interesting and honest answers out of the general public. Also she said the film was ‘put together brilliantly’ which we were surprised about as we didn’t know whether the way it was edited was detailed and interesting enough.

• Lauren commented on facebook that ‘Lots of intellectual information, good range of people that were interviewed’ which represents that our interviews with the hypnotherapist and psychology teacher made a difference to our documentary as without that it wouldn’t of looked so professional and wouldn’t of appealed to our target audience. The negative feedback she gave us was that our voice over could have been ‘’slightly louder and the music slightly quieter at the beginning’ which we didn’t think was a problem until another person also said the same thing. We wanted to make the music loud so that it would be more entertaining for the audience however I see how it does seem a bit distracting for the audience.

• Bethany also brought up the same criticism as Lauren by saying the ‘’Voice over bit needs to be louder, or the music quieter’’. This is good feedback as we have realised what is too distracting for the audience and how we could of made our documentary more appealing.

• Lisa commented saying that although our documentary was ‘’professional and interesting’’ that again, there was ‘’a little part where the sound of music was a little too high for the voice over’’. This is now something I completely agree with, although it isnt a major problem it has still affected how professional our documentary looks.
