2. TRAILER
• I have gotten my audience feedback by creating a questionnaire on Surveymonkey.
The respondents watched a draft of our soap opera trailer and answered questions
based on it, e.g. what they do/don’t like about it. This enabled us to find out what is
good and bad about our trailer, and what works and what does not. From this we were
able to make any changes where appropriate. When our trailer was finished we held a
focus group. We showed the group our finished trailer and asked them questions from
our Surveymonkey questionnaire. The audience liked our storyline about an affair and
thought it came across well, especially in the shot where Stacey is ripping out the
flowers and the use of a phone conversation which suggests the distance between
Stacey and Liam. The audience have said that they would watch the soap opera if it
was on TV because of the use of the dialogue and the dramatic scenes which make
them want to see more with providing them with enough information but not giving
too much away. The group consisted of teenagers between 17-18 years old which
means that we have chosen our target audience correctly.

3. MAGAZINE
• I have gained audience feedback for my magazine and poster by showing people a
photo of them both and asking them questions such as what they do/don’t like
about it, and if it would attract them to watch the soap opera. The respondents said
that the secondary stories from different soaps make the magazine look realistic.
They’ve said that they like the font of the title and the word ‘revealed’ as it is big and
bold which caught their eye. The colour coordination also works as it puts the
magazine together. The respondents said that the tagline also caught their attention
as it is emphasising on the fact that this magazine provides them with all the
information they want. However, the audience commented on the background and
said that it could have been more colourful/brighter to make the cover stand out
more.

4. POSTER
• When gaining audience feedback, I have done the same thing I done with my
magazine. I showed people a photo of my poster and asked them what they
like/don’t like about it and what works and what doesn’t. When looking at my
poster, the respondents said that they liked the brush stroke effect on the
words ‘lies’ and ‘silence’ as it added more emphasis on them and made them
stand out. They also commented on the fact that the female character is colour
coordinated to the colour of the text which they thought made the magazine
look good. The grey background works on the poster as it makes the female
character stand out but at the same time blurs the male character which gives
them the idea of him less powerful. Overall, the respondents said that the
poster would intrigue them to watch our soap Park Grove.
