Evaluation Question 3 - What have you Learned from your Audience Feedback?

Audience Feedback ResultsWe collected our data and made graphs to show the results of this. For the questions with no numbers as a result we wrote some of the things that people had said.

With in our documentary it was about half and half of things that went right and what went wrong. One thing that went right for us would be the editing of the documentary, this worked quite well as all four of us have different abilities with the programs we used. we wanted to merge the first few shots together of people in their underwear, we had to download different programs in order to do this, which was too difficult to do. The cut aways in our documentary worked quite well for us too. Most of these were filmed when we went to different places to film as some of the places had things that really linked in with our theme. We had a lot of ideas for the cut aways at the beginning of our planning, but some of these were quite difficult as we needed permission for lots of the different places.

Our poster worked well from the start, we thought about this for quite a while because we wanted to come up with an image which linked with the documentary. We decided on the font for the documentary and decided to use the same for the poster. We also decided to one of our images for the back ground, we put this faded picture behind to give it a bit more detail. We were happy with our advertisement as a group. When recording our radio advert we had to do this five times as the microphone wasn't working 3 of the five times and the last time was done by phone and the quality wasn't good enough. Our voice over includes parts from our documentary and the music used in the documentary.

When we filmed Jade, both doing her make up and filming her for the interview. This went well for us the first time we did this. The only struggles that we had was setting up the camera but we got it in the right position and i think this is a very strong piece. When getting our font for our documentary this worked well for us and was quite easy to do.

When filming our interview with Heather this went wrong the first time as the microphone didn't work for this, the interviews in warrington with the public went wrong the first time too, this meant we had to do this two times and get permission twice.

Evaluation Question 2 - How Effective Is the Combination of your Main Product and Ancillary Texts?

We used the same font on both the advertisement and our poster advertisement. Our poster advertisement contains the same text as our documentary, this is so when people these two things they associate them together so people understand it the same thing and these then link together somehow. We tried to portray the same message through the poster and our documentary. In our documentary we tried to give the message that the media influences the public and makes them think of them selves differently. In the poster we wanted to show the same message through a picture. This is when we came up with the idea of a puppet, this demonstrates people being influenced/controlled by someone or something, in this case, it would be the media.

Our radio advert contains the same voice over as our documentary, similar to the poster advertisement we did this so they link together and people will associate them together. Our radio advert informs the viewer of what is going to be involved but also makes them ask questions. Our aim of our radio advert was to attract our target audience to watch our documentary..
