2. Audience feedback
A lot research goes into any new
media product before it is actually
made. This is done in order to make
money, find out the target audience
and to improve any weaknesses.
There are many different types of
feedback like box
office, review, surveys, focus
groups, forums, social networks and a
lot more.
3. What I did?
After we made our film, we had a peer assessment
screening of when we watched the film and gave feed
back. We were told to make ours a bit longer and to add
in more music.
I also showed it to the target audience to get their
opinion.
There was also feedback on the YouTube where the
film was actually posted and on my blog.
It was very similar with the ancillary text as I asked the
target audience on their feedback. For the poster mostly
people said that I should take of the background colours
which I did.
I also put the poster up on social networks to get
opinion. Its best to ask a range of people as your
friends may not give their honest opinion.
4. Useful
Audience feedback is very useful. Audience
feedback is key in the media, as the audience
bring in the revenue and make a persons work
credible, it is also what makes a film popular or
not, the more people that enjoy a film the more
the messege of it gets spread. The aim of an
editor/director/producer is to please their
audience. The audience is the reason for
making a film, in some cases, however in short
films it sometimes is not about the money and
number of people that would go and watch it but
it is about expressing themselves or may be just
asa hobby rather than a buisness.
