to find out more information about
T-shirts.

obvious throughout?
Everybody who answered this
question said that the topic of the
documentary was obvious
throughout.

• Mise-en-scene for interviews
• Choice of music • Cutaways

6. 4. What are the weaknesses of the
documentary?
¾ people said that there
were no weaknesses.
Mel said that the
graphics needed to be
kept on screen for
longer, so there is
enough time to read
them.

7. 5. Do you like/think the song choices are
appropriate?
I have learned that 4/4 people liked the
song choices, and thought that they were
appropriate for the programme.
One even commented on the song we have
used in the opening titles.

would change?

documentary, thought that the filming was of a high
quality, therefore making the documentary look very professional.

9. 7. Do you think that the editing works well?
Is there anything that you would change?
Comments I received on the editing were very positive: every person
said that the editing does work well.
Someone commented saying that the editing makes the documentary
seem professional.
Another person said that they like
our use of cutaways.
In particular, Alex said that the
editing makes the
documentary “flow” and it
“works well”.

10. Overall, the feedback I received was very positive.
However, if I had the chance to do this again, there are a few things
I would do differently:
1. Make sure the graphics appear on screen for longer
2. Make sure when during interviews, there are no background
noises
3. Also make sure when during interviews, the interviewee will not
be disturbed, in order to avoid them breaking eye contact with
the interviewer

11. NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISEMENT

12. 1. Does the print advert grab your
attention?
Everybody who answered said that they would watch the documentary
after looking at the newspaper advertisement.
What attracted them, and caught their attention:
• „Bright colours‟
• „Striking image‟
• „Endearing text‟
• „Very to the point‟

13. 2. Is the topic of the documentary clear?
I learned that the topic of the
documentary is clear
throughout the 5
minutes, and the audience
were not left guessing what it
is about.
Every interview relates to the
topic.
Significantly, one person
even picked up on the fact
that the t shirts are supposed
to represent stereotypes, and
that we should judge people
by appearances.

14. 3. Do you think that the slogan relates to
the topic of the documentary?
I learned that people think the slogan works really well, due to
the fact that it is a question. Numerous people stated that it
makes them think about the question, if not answer it. This is
what we were aiming to do.

15. 4. Do you think that the documentary is
suitable for people between the ages of 16-
25?
I learned that everybody thought that the documentary is
suitable for people between the ages of 16-25, as T-shirts are
typically worn by younger people.

16. 5. Is there anything that you would
change?
Interestingly, ¾ people that
commented said that there isn't
anything that they would
change.
However, Melissa stated that
she would maybe have a more
interesting background rather
than a plain one.

17. Overall, the feedback I received was very positive.
However, if I had the chance to do this again, there are a few things
I would do differently:
1. Maybe chose individuals who are completely different to one
another in appearance
2. Try and make the text on the shirts the same size/thickness etc
3. Maybe use a different colour background

19. 1. After listening to the radio trailer,
would you want to watch the rest of the
documentary?
I have learned that people do
want to watch the rest of the
documentary after listening to
the radio trailer, and that the
subject of T-shirts is interesting
the audience.
Also, people want to watch
because they are curious about
what their own T-shirts will say
about them.

interesting?
I have learned that the audience
do think the documentary sounds
interesting, and therefore would
watch the rest of the programme.
Interestingly, people stated that
the radio trailer had their full
attention the whole way through.

However, if I had the chance to do this again, there are a few things
I would do differently:
