From audience feedback on their products, the respondent learned:
- Questionnaires provided vital information to create appropriate final products for their target audience.
- Feedback on finished products showed room for improvement in making the documentary more interesting and fast-paced to engage more viewers.
- The radio trailer was generally found enjoyable but could have been more professionally produced by focusing less on enjoyment and more on quality.
- While the TV listing achieved a very professional standard, being too professional may not be appropriate for their young target audience.
