Oliver Beard

2. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Audience feedback during construction
 In the following slide you will see a screen shot of some audience
feed back during the construction stage of my main media
products. It was vital to receive this sort of feedback throughout
the entirety of my construction stage because I wanted to build a
product that would be very well suited to my audience.

3. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Screenshots of comments

4. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 How I built of this.
 It most obvious with the comment that helped me to decide which
magazine cover to further develop also it really made me think
about what to further develop with the Magazine cover in terms of
design and content. It was also important as I then knew that my
peers were looking at my work throughout the development of
my products

5. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 How I kept building from the feedback
 From the comments on what I should improve it really helped me
to focus myself on what needed to be done and also what had to
be corrected.This is especially prevalent with the comments from
the user SamTaylor as they explicitly highly what was good about
my products and what needed to be improved to help perfect my
existing products.

6. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Feedback after
construction
 For this I decided
to record my
audience and
target market to
find out what they
liked about my
products and also
how I could do
better.

7. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Audience quote
 ‘your trailers development is good however on the build up to the
action scene it feels a bit slow’
 This was one of the most influential parts of feed back I received
as when I looked back at the construction I felt the same thing and
that it was taking my trailer down a bit. So what I decided to do to
add pace and drama I decided to do flashes for the two clips
before the big build up. I think that this was a big benefit as it
really helped my trailer to not only feel more professional but to
also make it build that pace and drama that it really needed.

8. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Another quote
 ‘The trailers sound is good however I think that it needs a bit of
talking to really tie it in with your genre’
 This was also a major comment which I heavily reflected on
during the construction.After thinking about it I decided to do a
test run and see if the trailer would benefit from either a voice
over or a talking scene.After I did the test runs I decided that a
serious voice over was a better option due to the drama and effect
it added to my trailer.Another reason that I decided to add it was
the way it added to the story and gave a much deeper meaning to
the trailer.

9. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 This was my first attempt
at a magazine cover but I
wanted to get a much
better mag so I went to my
audience to find out what I
could do better.

10. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 How I developed the magazine from feedback
 I had a lot of comments about text sizes and the actual image on
the magazine. So these were the main focus points for me as I
wanted to get these right to really help the magazine. I started
with the photo as I wanted to work round this image to really get a
good build. Once I had the right image ,which was a blend of
action and calm which I think I captured properly, I was able to
move onto the text which was a bit more of an issue as I wanted to
listen to my audience mostly but also wanted to conform to the
stereotypes so I crafted a bled of the two which you can see well in
the magazine below this slide.

11. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Here is my final magazine
cover which has taken all
the audience feedback to
mould it into the
magazine it is now.

12. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Quote from audience
 This was a vital quote to me and the progress of my trailer due to
the fact that the audience didn’t think I was aim at the right genre
felt however that the footage that I had was sufficient for an
action film but after review I would have to do a lot more editing
so what I decided to do was to change my genre not completely
but enough to ( with a bit of editing ) create a well produced
ActionThriller trailer.The reason it would fit well into anAction
Thriller genre is that it contains enough suspense for a thriller but
still has enough action to maintain the action part as well which
worked really well for me

13. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Here is the poster In
its first stages with no
audience feedback
but I wanted to get
them involved so I
asked around for
some vocal feedback
and below is the final
version of that poster.

14. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Poster feedback during construction
 ‘I don’t feel like the characters on the poster represent the true
Saul bass style d make them more blocky’
 I followed this quite heavily as I went back to the Saul bass posters
especially the vertigo poster where the character was very
abstract. So what I did was to make the character more blocky at
the arms legs and feet but I kept the head the same as I felt that it
was important to keep them the same instead of making them
more square.

15. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Final Poster
after feedback

16. What have you
learnt from
your audience
feedback?
 Overall conclusion
 I leant a lot from my audience in terms of what I wanted to do and
where I wanted to go, through the development of my main
media products. However I didn’t always listen to my audience as I
wanted to create product that I was happy with not just my
audience as if I didn’t have my own input it would have been the
audiences not mine.Throughout the construction stages I got a lot
of spoken feedback which influenced the way that I worked for the
short time and which overall had a long term effect.
