Evaluation- Q3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Here is a recording of the script below.




Audience feedback is important as it is the audience watching your documentary, and if they do not understand and follow it or do not like it, they will not watch it. For our audience feedback, Matt typed up a questionnaire for a focus group which was people within our target audience. Some of the answers to these questions made us realise what things we could have improved on and what parts kept the audience entertained. Below are some pictures of our audience watching our documentary and also listening to our radio ad whilst viewing our print ad.





















Here is a recording of the script below.


From our questionnaire feedback, we can see that our documentary does appeal to our target audience and the documentary is well suited to channel 4. We can also see that some people thought our interviews were a strength however others thought it was a weakness. Constructive criticism is always helpful as Matt and I can see the things we could improve on if we were to do our documentary again.

I also played our documentary to different people to gain a wider audience feedback and a mixture of opinions. Below are some audience profiles, and they show what they thought and their opinions.

















I also gathered audience feedback on the social networking website: Facebook

I am pleased with the audience feedback we received on the social networking website, Facebook. Most of the audience said they enjoyed the interviews, however Tom Lloyd and Joe Akroyd offered some constructive criticism and said that the interviews could have been framed better. Tom also said that the voice of god was good as this linked the whole documentary together and makes it professional.

In my opinion, I was impressed with the title sequence, and also from our audience feedback we had a wide range of answers such as: interesting, eye catching, variety, creative and the music.
A weakness Matt and I had during interviews was background noise and some of our audience picked up on this. During the interview with Adele (shop owner) and Bob (police officer) there was quite a lot of background noise as one interview was inside a shop and the other was outside. If we were to do the interviews again, we would make sure we held the microphone nearer to the interviewee and there wasn’t a lot of background noise.
The scheduling for this documentary was for channel 4 at 9 o’clock and this was a good time as this is a popular time that our audience is watching the TV. The music that was used through the documentary and the radio ad was very upbeat and this played a big part as it attracted our target audience.
