Question Three

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

To gain audience feed back we first showed our documentary, radio trailer and print advert to 13 people from our target audience. We then got them to fill out questionnaires.

Here is our feedback:

Question One: Do you think our programme suit our target audience of 18+?

From this feedback I can see that the vast majority we asked thought that the material suited our target audience, this means we applied the information from our first questionnaire on what people would like to to our work well and therefore appeal to our audience.

Question Two - Would this five minute encourage you to watch the full programme and why?

A large percentage of the people we asked said that they would watch our documentary from the five minute extract that we showed them, this is encouraging as it shows that we have made a entertaining and interesting segment. It also shows that our target audience likes the topic and content.We have also caught there interest and convinced them that it is worth watching.

Question Three - On a scale of one to five how appropriate is our documentary for Channel Four and why?

The reasons people gave were as follows :

Similar to other channel four documentaries

Channel 4 viewers would like to watch this
It was interesting
Relevant topic for Channel Four

From this I can see that most of the people thought it was something similar to a programme that Channel Four would broadcast however, on a scale of one to five, some people only gave it three, and therefore if we were to do it again, we would try to make it even more appropriate for Channel Four.

Question Four - In your opinion do the camera shots and the music suit the style and genre of the programme?

Everyone we asked said 'yes' in reply to this question this shows that we have used a varied type of camera shots and used music effectively, this also shows us that we have done this to the best of our ability and all of the people we asked from our target audience can see this.

Question Five - On a scale of one to five how would you rate our documentary in terms of the following?

Entertaining -

Informative -

From this I can see that more people found my documentary informative rather than entertaining, this may have been due to the serious tone our documentary has however if i was to do it again, I would concentrate on making it more entertaining by perhaps adding more music or music archive footage. Most of the people we asked did find it quite interesting and entertaining so I think overall we did this well.

Question Six- Do you think the camerawork and editing used made our extract look professional?

Everybody we asked replied 'yes' to this question therefore I from my audience feedback I have learnt that, in relation to our target audience, we made a documentary that they thought involved good camerawork and editing that gave our documentary a sense of continuity.

Question Seven- How do you feel the documentary compares to other professionally made documentaries?

The answers we got from this questioned varied and therefore proves difficult to put in to a chart to graphically illustrate what we found. However, from the answer we got I have learnt that people thought our documentary did compare well to other documentaries because of the following reasons :

-It was detailed like professional documentaries

- I was very similar to professional documentary and compared well.

- Archive material like the 'news footage' is good, it makes the overall tone of the documentary strong.

- All the codes and conventions of professional documentaries have been followed.

In conclusion I have learnt that overall most people thought that our documentary compared well to professionally made documentaries.

Question Eight- What are the strengths and weaknesses of our documentary?

Strengths

-Professional camera work

-Relevant music bed

-Editing that made the documentary flow

-They found it interesting like other professional documentaries.

-The interviews were framed and edited well
-There was a large amount of well edited and relevant cutaways

Weaknesses

-Perhaps more editing could have been done
- The sound behind vox -pop could be improved to the 'fuzzy' sound behind them.

In conclusion there are clearly more strengths then weaknesses. Thus showing that overall we made our documentary well however we could have spent even more time editing to add to the continuity and we could have re-filed our vox-pops to improve the sound quality.

Question Nine- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the radio trailer and print advert?

From this I can see that people have only found strengths from our print advert and radio trailer and that they think we have included all of the things that the codes and conventions include.

Question Ten - Do you think the sound bites and voice in our radio trailer advertised our documentary to its full potential?

All thirteen people have said that they do think that the sound bits and voice in our radio trailer did advertise the documentary to its full potential therefore we have codes and conventions well and chosen an voice over that our target audience would like.

Question Elven- Do you think the newspaper advert effectively advertises our programme and why?

Again all thirteen people said yes and the the reasons they gave were as follows :

-It suits the programme

- Clear image

- Eye catching image

-Relate well to the audience

- Images connotes what the programme is about well.
