Question 3Audience Feedback

We asked 13 people for their thoughts on our 3 products that we produced as part of our coursework. The following slides are the results that we gathered from the questionnaire

Documentary

Does the title Industrial Bites fit the topic of our documentary?

We asked 13 people for their thoughts on the title of our documentary. All of those asked believed that our title was fitting for the theme of the documentary which shows that it anchors the

topic of how food sells within the industry and local businesses

Does the opening sequence illustrate the topic of our documentary?

Those who were asked thought that the opening sequence of our documentary was fitting for the topic of our documentary as it clearly showed what the documentary

was about. However, one person asked did believe that the sequence was too fast. This shows that a way in which we could improve this piece of work is by slowing

the pace of the sequence to ensure that it is clear to all that see it

Does the script anchor the topic of the documentary?

12 of those who we asked thought that the script for the documentary did anchor the topic of our documentary as it was very informative and clear making the

documentary easier to follow. However, one person said they were unsure as to whether the script did anchor the topic. This shows that if we could improve the

documentary that we should ensure that the script is clear for everyone to understand

Is the voice over clear and easy to understand?

Column1

Yes No

Unsure

This is the results from Question 3 of the survey given to 12 people. 8 of

those asked agreed that the voiceover was clear and easy to understand with 3 people being unsure as to whether the voice over was clear. 2 of those

asked thought that our voice over was not easy to understand because they

felt that the speaker mumbled in certain areas. The voiceover is a key fixture in moulding the documentary

together, this shows that next time we need to ensure that the voiceover is clear and easy to understand at all

times and make sure that the person that does the voiceover speaks clearly

throughout

Is the documentary relative to the chosen target audience? (16-25)

We decided to have our chosen target audience as 16-25 as our documentary is relevant to this age group as food is

something that we all eat and as a generation need to be taught about the

problem that the selling of these products in the industry have on our

health. 12 of those asked agreed and believed that this chosen target

audience was fitting for the documentary as they recognised that

younger people are more health aware now. However 1 person didn't agree with the target audience that we had

agreed on but didn't give a reason as to why they thought this

For this question, we wanted to find out the strongest points for our documentary. The 13 people asked believed that the following were some of

our main strengths. We overall received many more strengths in comparison to weakness which shows that our documentary was clear and engaging

Name three weaknesses to our documentary

We overall received more positive feedback in comparison to the negative feedback which is listed below. Those that we asked believed that the

reasons below were what weakened our overall product and this gives us something to improve on. This shows that next time we would need to make sure that the voiceover was clearly spoken throughout and also get rid of any jump cuts that we previously had in our final product. We would also need to change the sound on the archive footage so that its not too loud and is clear to the audience as well as improve on the editing of the documentary as this

will allow us to have a more professional finish to the final product

After watching the first 5 minutes, would you be interested in watching the rest of the documentary? Why?

The results from this question show that our documentary was interesting and provided the audience with enough information as

most of those we asked said that they would want to watch the rest of our documentary with some people saying it was because

they wanted to find out more about how food sells but also because the narrative was

interesting and relevant. Those who said no to watching the rest of the documentary

provided us with no reason as to why they would not continue with the rest of the

documentary but it may be because the topic of our documentary was something

that would not interest them

8 The results for Mise-en-scene came back particularly well as we got mostly 5s and 4s which shows that our documentary followed the correct forms of mise-en-

scene which is something that I found was very important when initially researching documentaries such

as Blackfish and Life on Death Row. We made sure when filming our interviews that the backdrop matched the career of the interviewee which is has clearly been

picked up on by the audience members. One person did give us a 3 for this section, which overall doesn't reflect badly on our product as the majority vote gave us a 5

The results show what people thought of the editing of our

documentary. We received mainly 3s for this section which indicates that there could be improvement

with our editing. As previously mentioned, we had the occasional

jump cut which would be fixed through our editing if we had the chance again to fix any problems

that we had. We still received positive feedback for this section

For camerawork, we mainly got 4s with three people giving us a 5 and three people marking the

camerawork a 3. This shows that our camerawork was up to a high

standard which is good as we made sure that our camera angles

were fitting for the interview as well as using a tripod to avoid

shakiness of the shot . However, we did also receive some 3s which shows that we could improve this by making our camera shots more professional which can be seen in documentaries like Supersize Me

This section provided us with the lowest set of marks

showing that Professionalism is an area that could definitely

be improved. Four people gave us an 8, which shows

that the majority vote believed that our documentary looked

professional enough to be aired on BBC One. However,

we did receive a 2 off one person, although they did not provide a reason as to why

they thought that it didn't have a professional look to the

product.

Radio Trailer

Would our Radio Trailer make you want to watch our documentary?

11 out of 13 people asked said that after watching our Radio Trailer, they would like to watch our documentary. This shows that our Radio Trailer was effective as it has interested people, making them

want to find out more about the documentary2 out of 13 people asked said that our documentary would not make them want to watch our

documentary. This could be due to the people not being interested in the topic of our documentary or it could be because they didn't feel like the trailer was intriguing enough

We overall received more positive feedback for our Radio Trailer which shows that it was effective in grabbing the attention of the audience which is the key reason as to

why a Radio Trailer is used so that the audience listen to what is being said and remember the information that they are being given. 5 of the people asked also

believed that there were no negatives to our project which indicates that the Radio Trailer is effective and clear

What do you think the weaknesses are of the Radio Trailer?

Sound Levels MusicVoiceoverInterviews Unclear

As you can see, we overall received less negative feedback in comparison to the comments that were made about our Radio Trailer. The weaknesses include aspects like the music and sound levels which we would change next time so that the sound could be heard perfectly throughout and the background music was a song that the

audience deem more appropriate for the trailer as it needs to follow what the consensus of people enjoy so that the trailer brings in more attention surrounding our documentary

Is the voiceover for the Radio Trailer clear and informal? Why?

11 out of 13 people said that the voiceover in our Radio Trailer was clear and formal with some adding that they thought that it was overall a good voice over that was clear and easy to follow

along. This shows that we had really positive feedback towards the voiceover in the trailer. However, 2 out of 13 people said no to this section of the documentary as they believed that

the sound levels were too low which made some areas hard to understand as it was unclear. If we could improve this section the we would have to make sure that the sound levels are

consistent throughout so that its easier for the audience to follow along with what is being said

Print Advert

Would the Print Advert make you want to watch our documentary?

This indicates that our Print Advert is effective enough in making the audience want to watch the rest of the documentary as the image was eye-catching and depicted the topic of our storyline as 11 out of 13 people said that after looking at the poster, it has made them want to watch the documentary. However, 2 people did say that it doesn’t make them want to watch it which suggests that they may of not liked

the image that was used or the title on the poster. As they did not state the reason as to why they picked no, it is hard to make a thorough improvement to the aadvert

YES11

NO2

Do you think the image works well?

Once again we overall received more positive feedback about the image on the Print Advert which shows that the image was eye-catching as well as linking in with our topic of our documentary. Although one person did think that the image didn’t work well and two people were unsure as to

whether it linked to the topic of our documentary.

Does it connote the topic of our documentary?

12 out of 13 people agreed and thought that our print Advert did connote the topic of our documentary. However, one person did think that the

advert didn't fit the topic of the selling of food in the industry

Overall, do you think our three products work well together? Why?

Column1

YesNo

Overall, we received positive feedback to this final section of the questionnaire. This

shows that our three products work well together and for the audience they all show the topic of our documentary. If they didn't

work well together then the overall effect on the audience wouldn't be the same as it would be harder to understand for them. Some positive feedback that we received

includes how easy it was to follow the theme of the documentary and how it links together. People also said that it was well

produced and clear and someone even said that the Radio Trailer was their favourite

product. However, one person did think that the three products didn't work well together

as they thought that it was unclear
