2. Documentary:
From this audience feedback I learnt that we created a very compelling documentary which is
likely to hook people in from the beginning.
Also, we learnt that the voice over we used was very effective and fit the overall tone of the
documentary.
From this feedback that the lighting in some parts was great, and I agree that we did not pay as
much attention to the lighting as we should have. If I were to do this again I would definitely pay
more attention to the lighting of the interviews.
3. Documentary:
This feedback from a girl on Twitter agrees that this documentary is very enticing and hooks
you in from the start.
We also learnt that the cutaways we used were effective, which shocked us as we believed
the cut away shots to be one of the worst aspects of our documentary.
We also found out the music style and choice was a good fit for the documentary.
The criticism we can take from this is that the framing for the interview with Dawn Reynolds
Smith was not very good, and we were aware of this and tried to fix it during the production
stage.
4. Documentary:
From this feedback we learned that we collected a wide range of interviews which was
one of our aims from the start.
We took good criticism here, as we are told the audio levels we received were a bit out,
which is something we had not considered.
Again, this person noted the framing of some interviews, specifically the Chris Clarkson
interview, was not correct and looked odd. This is something we agreed with.
5. Print Ad:
The print advert is one aspect of our production we knew was not the best it could
be.
This feedback, backs up that notion by stating the banners could be more
interesting, as they were just grey squares placed on a white background.
However, this person did tell us that the editing on the picture came off as well and
assures us that the desired effect was created.
6. Print Ad:
Once again here, the criticism of the print ad is quite strong.
The fact that the banners have been criticised again is something we expected as once we
completed the work we realised that a lot more could be done to bolster the aesthetic appeal of
the advert.
It has also been picked up here that the text is too close to the side of the text and after
consideration it is something that I agree with.
7. Print Ad:
This again shows the general attitude to the text.
It was once again criticised. We were very aware of the fact the text and the banners in general are
not to the best quality.
However, one thing we were proud of was the fact we managed to edit and blend the two faces
together successfully, with difficulty, so that being complimented again is a good sign.
8. Radio Ad:
“The radio advert is very good. The choice of music is very interesting as it plays on the
creepy phobia tone of the documentary. The voice over is also very effective, as it fits the
entire documentary very well. One thing I would say however, is that the information is a
little scarce.” – Elliot Tickle.
This feedback for the radio ad is very positive, as we were quite happy with our radio
advert. We agree that our voiceover is very effective in terms of the overall tone we
were going for, however we do agree that more information could have been
presented in the radio advert. We also agree that the choice of music is a good one
as I felt personally it fit the tone we were going for so well.
9. Radio Ad:
“This radio advert is very creepy, which I feel is what you were going for to be
honest. The girl whispering at the end is such a nice effect as it gives of a really
creepy vibe at the end, and leaves you with a question. I think the audio levels
could have been paid a bit more attention and that the voiceover would have
been suited with a different person” – Juliette Eatwell
Overall, this feedback tells us that the audio levels could have been better, and
had we had the time to redo the advert, this could be something we paid more
attention to. We do however, disagree on the voiceover as the voice used is
exactly the sort of thing we were after. The girl whispering at the end was a very
last minute decision in terms of production and not something we were entirely
sure would work, so we are glad that is being received well.
10. Radio Ad:
“What a great radio ad. The voice fits perfect with the topic of the documentary and
the girl whispering at the end has a really eerie feel to it. The only criticism I could
honestly give it, is that I feel I could have been told a bit more, if that makes sense?
Like about the topic. The use of interviews is also an added effect, as it gives you a
glimpse into the documentary.” – Niall Hughes
This is more of the same in terms of criticism, the voiceover over has been
complimented saying it fits the tone of the documentary, which we agree with. Once
again however we have been told that there should be more in the way of content in
the radio ad. If we had the time over, I’m sure that we would script this to make more
sense in terms of a narrative, and telling a story in the radio ad.
