Audience Feedback

After completing our 5 minute extract for our documentary, radio trailer and newspaper advertisement we had to get audience feedback from them. In order to do this properly we created a questions to get their feedback. Below are the questions we asked for each media product;

Documentary
1. After watching the first 5 minutes of our documentary, would you watch the rest of the programme?
2. What do you think the strengths of the documentary are?
3. What do you think the weaknesses of the documentary are?
4. Do you like our song choices?
5. Do you think we have filmed everything the correct way? Is there anything you would change in the camera work?
6. Does the editing work well?

Radio Trailer
1. Does the radio trailer make our documentary sound interesting?
2. Do you now want to watch our documentary?
3. What do you think about our voice over?

Print Advert
1. Does the print advert grab your attention?
2. What are your opinions on your documentary slogan?
3. Do you think people between the ages of 16-25 will watch our documentary?
4. Is there anything you would change to the print advert?
5. What do you think about the layout of the print advert?


We uploaded our documentary to YouTube which I then posted on Facebook in order to get additional feedback from more people in our target audience. Below is a screengrab of the post.

I then uploaded our radio trailer in order to get feedback from people on Facebook. Below is a screengrab of this post.

The last post I made on Facebook was our print advert. Again here I asked people the 4 questions about the print advert.

Voiceover Recording

On Tuesday 18th December we recorded our voice over for the whole documentary. After making more changes to it we now have a finished product. The voice over will be placed in appropriate places throughout the 5 minute extract of our documentary.

Recording and Editing Radio Trailer

On Tuesday 18th December I recorded and started editing our radio trailer for our documentary. I used a voice recorder to record the script and I used Adobe Premier Pro to edit. Below is a screenshot of the radio trailer production.



I also videoed myself editing to prove that this work is original and I created it myself.
