1. Appeal to audience
Class Feedback: The class felt that my documentary appealed to them as an audience not
only regarding the topic itself but at how I tackled the topic thereby informing and
educating them. They also expressed that it clearly showed that it was targeting those aged
16 -19. It was however argued that I could have had a range of different responses from the
females’ point of view which I agree with totally. It didnot really register with me at first
because my topic is mainly male orientated, maybe if I tackled anissue relating to both
genders it would have been a priority to me.
Teachers Feedback: My teacher felt that my documentary appealed to the audience that I
justified in my treatment and would appeal to those on a national scale. I agree with this
statement totally becausemy intention was to appeal to those interested in my topic. The
fact that it would appeal to those on a national scale was justified by the use of expert
interviews. Furthermore, they emphasised the fact that all those featured in my
documentary were cricket expert wouldalso create general interest in the topic and would
mean that people will be interested in watching my documentary.
Own Feedback: I think my documentarywill be successfully appealing to the target audience
explained in my conduct. However, after carefully analysing my documentary, I believe I
should haveused Sixth form students opinions as well in my documentary in order to make
it biasedand would’ve had more variety of different ethnicities as well.
Place in market
Class Feedback: It was expressed by the class that my documentary was a USP itself purely
because it is a topic that has not been focused on in too much detail by any other mediums.
They came to conclusion that this has probably been the first documentary to focus on what
I focused on. Furthermore, they also said that it was good how I looked at both sides of the
argument and of how I incorporated the issue of why cricket is been a game of mixed
ethnicity at professional level at school level it’s been segregated amongst young people in
mydocumentary. What was the most insightful response I got was that I included quite a lot
of information from all aspects of the topic whilst not losing focus. However, in terms of
being suitable for the channel 4 or ITV 4, it was expressed that due to the lack of different
ethnicities featured in my documentary it affected its suitability. I agree with this statement
to a certain extent as I could have had a variety of different ethnicities through more
voxspops but I realised it too late so I tried to include some variety through the
archivefootage used towards the end, but I do understand and agree with this statement.

2. Teachers Feedback: My teachers felt that my documentary was unique in the way in which I
looked at segregation of cricket at school amongst young people from different angle. I
agree with this statement because I saw the niche in the market and tried to exploit to the
fullest. Referring back to the appeal to the audience, they did feel that it might not have
place in the market because of the fact that it does not appeal to everyone.
Own Feedback: After watching and analysing my documentary I think that it has a place in
the market because theargument regarding segregation of cricket at school amongst young
people has grown. Therefore a lot of people will be interested to watch the documentary
and will definitely have a place in the market.
Conventions
Class Feedback: The class felt that I successfully demonstrated a range of different
conventions in my documentary. Iagree with this statement because I think I could have
clearly shown thedifferent ways in which I used the conventions. Moreover, they agreed
that the choice of music wasgood and helped contribute the style and tone of the
documentary. I agree with this but I tried tofind suitable songs to create a specific
atmosphere. However, I chose specific songs particularly toreflect the points expressed in
the documentary.
Teachers Feedback: My teacher argued that I showed the general conventions of a general
documentary, however, the main aspect of my documentary that stood out to them was the
vast amount of archive footage used. I agree that the amount of archive footage could have
beenminimised but I think I should get credited for the way in which I edited the footage
throughout the documentary playing close attention to how it was used in relation to the
voice over. What I believe to be the best feedback was the fact that I didn’t demonstrate a
variety of different camera shots and angles. I agree with this simply because it’s true. There
were minor attempts to demonstrate different shot types at specific times of documentary
but it clearly wasn’t enough.
Own Feedback: After watching my documentary I think that I demonstrated the general
conventions of interviews, voxspops, and the use of archive footage but I did not explore
the creative conventions. The feedback I got regarding the archive footage was really good
so therefore, only regret not experimenting with different camera techniques because it
may have had a dramatic impact on my final grade. This is not to say that I didn’t try to
experiment with the camera but I just felt that it looked sticky in relation to the whole
documentary. I wanted it to be professional and simple.

3. Use of Technology
Class Feedback: The class felt that I used the editing programme, Final Cut pro, effectively to
produce a creativedocumentary. They paid close attention to the how I carefully monitored
the sound levels betweenboth the music and the voice over. I agree with this statement
because I wanted to ensure that the voiceover was mostly heard and that the music at a
level to create an atmospheric effect. Onanother issue, they felt that I used Photoshop
effectively as well to produce good logo for my documentary to represent what my
documentary was about.
Teachers Feedback: My clients focused closely on the way in which I edited my footage
especially regarding the voxspops, interviews and archive footage. I totally agree with this
because I think the editingwas the bestaspect of my documentary. I wanted to reflect the
characteristics of my topic regarding its tempoand reflect it in my documentary but
maintaining a fast pace.
Own Feedback: In my own opinion I think that I demonstrated a good level of technological
use in my documentary.It was shown in many ways, by the use ofrecording of the voice
over, the editing of captured and archive footage and interviews. Referring back to the
archive footage, I think that it was good how I implemented and incorporated different
examples of archive footage.
Improvements
Class Feedback: After the class watched my documentary they suggested that since it
focused on segregation of cricket at school I should have involved students from SixthForms.
I agree with this to the fullest because I was too focused on getting cricket experts to
feature in my documentary that I forgot about getting other possible contributors
surrounding the topic. I think that it would have helped increased the overall appeal of the
documentary thereby allowing it to be suitable to be broadcasted on the channel 4 or ITV 4.
Furthermore, it wouldhelp justify the other argument investigated in my documentary.
Teachers Feedback: One improvement suggested by my clients was that there should have
been a clear difference between those who were interviewed and those who weren’t. I can
understand why this may have been said because I used the exact same shot types for the
voxspops and the interviews. However, Imust disagree because when I first showed the
rough edit to my teachers they felt the same way but Iam 100% certain sure thatintroduced
my interviewees clearly in my final piece. I used the archive footage, Voiceover and ashton
to introduce every interviewee; I don’t think there could have been any better way of me
introducing them and the interview.

4. Own Feedback: What was brought to my attention after watching my documentary was
that I could have had amore engaging voice over. Even though I recorded the voice over, I
think that those who watch would have got bored. On another note, I think a possible
improvement could have to be the exclusion of Sixth Form student’s opinion because if I had
more Sixth Form students in my documentary for thatparticular purpose then it would have
been my unique selling point.
