  Question 3 Audience Feedback
• 2.
  Why is audiencefeedback important in the Media? • To gather what improvements need to be made to the media product • To gather a wide variety of opinions • The aim is to please the audience, this is why you need to gather audience feedback to see if you managed to reach your goal • Need to make sure they understand what is actually happening and if they have any advice if you were to go and change it

  What types offeedback are possible? Strengths and weaknesses of each? • Questionnaires • Questionnaires do not put a lot of pressure on the audience so therefore there results will be more reliable and accurate • They can be designed so they have closed ended questions meaning they only have a select amount of answers. This means that the results will be easier to interpret • As it is only a short film my questionnaire would only be small scale and therefore would not take much time to undertake. • Focus group/Interviews • These would be easy to conduct as you could interview many people all at one time • You could play them the film in the background and they could comment as the film is rolling

  What did youdo to get feedback? • To gather audience feedback for all three of my media products (Short film, film poster and film review) I used questionnaires and focus groups • For my short film I used a focus group to work out what people thought and any opinions/advice they may have • For my film poster I showed a select group of people my product and asked them for their honest opinions. • For my review I created a questionnaire and carried this out with numerous people • On the following slides I will show you my findings

  Feedback on poster ‘Gooduse of colours, outline around characters is effective making them stand out. Gives audience all the information they need, to attract them towards the film’ Anneisha Samuels ‘Like the use of post-it notes, creating a 3d effect however the calendar in the background is misleading’ Manjot Puaar ‘ Use of colour is effective, fun way of having the casts name, good use of mise en scene, tag line needs to be clearer’ Alice Stevens ‘Use of colours and cast are a good suggestion of a male dominated target audience, calendar in the background is unusual yet very effective, especially as its blurred’ Klodiana Lleshi

  Film poster feedback Fromthe feedback for the film poster we were able to gather that: • The calendar was a bit confusing as the background • People liked the use of colours and outline around the characters • The post-it notes were effective with the 3d effect • Poster could come across quite messy as there a lot going on • Was good to have the two main characters on the poster • Characters posture showed their frustration

  Film review feedback Fromthe feedback for the film review we were able to gather that: • I kept to the brief, basing the layout of my review around the reviews of ‘Little White Lies’ • The language in my review was understandable and consistent • The rating system was a good thing to use and very effective • Using the same colours on my review as I did on my film poster worked well and kept things consistent

  How useful wasthe feedback? • Gathering feedback from people was very useful as it was rewarding to find out what people actually thought of my products and any guidance or advice they may have • The majority of the feedback we received was positive so again this was pleasing and at the end of the day our aim was to please the audience • It was also helpful as if we were given the time to go back and change certain things we would know what to change to make the product reach its full potential
