audience feedback evaluation
TRANSCRIPT
The general people I asked for their opinion on the qualities was my
family; where the ages range from 40-80. From the audience
feedback I received I found that my:
Strengths were:
Informative
Conventional
And my weaknesses were:
Entertaining
Eye Catching
I then posted the links on numerous social networking sites where the
majority of my feedback was from my target audience; Teens.
Strengths
Informative
Follows all the conventions of a documentary, radio trailer and print advert
Flows well between different interviews
Good relevance to the topic
Interviews are short and quirky, and interesting
Consistent camera work makes the work more professional
Creative title ‘short cuts’
Wide range of interviews and opinions
Good choice of music
Weaknesses
Include more about benefits of hair treatment and
why people value their hair so much that they are
willing to spend so much on it
More information on how they style their hair on a
daily basis
Rustly background noise
Volume changes
Include celebrity influences
Follows the
correct
conventions that
print adverts
should
Very professional,
looks like a real
print advert
Very creative main
image,
immediately you
can tell the topic of
the documentary
I think the editing
of the hair could
be a bit tighter
The main image is
very creative,
however I think you
should have
included even more
hair types
Love the main
image, but maybe
a boy version of the
hair as well would
have been even
better
To conclude, I found that my audience particularly liked the creativity of the title ‘Short Cuts’ which was made from hair and the wide range of interviews. However, content was the biggest weakness, my target audience said it was very informative and interesting, however some wanted more information about celebrities and also more from the Nigerian hairdresser interview. Some also commented on the rustling behind some of the interviews and the volume changes, which could have been improved. The print advert was said to follow all the correct conventions and my target audience immediately could tell what the topic of the documentary was through the creative main image.
The graph at the start showed that the 40-80 year old audience didn’t think it was very interesting or entertaining. However, looking at the actual target audience for my specific documentary (teenagers) the feedback was very positive in saying that they found it interesting. This shows that my documentary was successful in pleasing its intended target audience, which I am extremely happy with.
