very good response as it shows how our product was successful in attractive the audiences
attention. The fact that we received a positive feedback for our documentary shows us that it

Question 2: What was the strongest aspect?
Responses to this question indicates that the cutaways were what the audience liked the
most about the documentary, they liked how they were able to actually see Mr Islams daily
life and what he does outside of school. As Mr Islam used a GroPro, he was able to capture
his jujitsu training, family time, gym etc. However we did go ahead and film more cutaways
of when he was teaching praying, working, this allowed the audience to visualise his daily
life.

3. Question 3: what was the weakest aspect?
Most of the audience members felt that the background music was the weakest area of
the documentary. They said how if we had used a upbeat music then the documentary
would have been more fun to watch, however we had chosen a calm slow music to suit the
content of the documentary.
Question 4: What was there not enough of?
As our documentary was only approximately 5 minutes long, it was important for us to
include all the key points as there was a chance of some areas where they could be
neglected. Most of the audience thought that there should have been more graphics and
interview.

4. Question 5: Would you watch the rest of the documentary?

was important that we made sure that it was interesting for them so they would want to
carry on watching the rest. As 100% of audience members said that they would watch the
rest of the documentary, we can see how the overall product was successful.
