1. 3. What have you learned from
your audience feedback?
Edgar Walker

2. Gathering Opinions
• When gathering audience feedback we firstly
decided to create a Facebook group with 20
people we chose to take part.
• We asked them 5 questions regarding our
soap designed to bring out any issues with our
soap.

3. Gathering Opinions
• The feedback was fairly quick due to the
availability of Facebook digitally and so we
were able to begin making improvements
soon after asking.

4. • Another method we
used was via email. I
sent out an email to 20
different people around
our college all within
the same demographic
compared to Face book
which was more varied.
• The feedback was far
more detailed as most
people answered these
questions during college
time and so were in a
better working mood
which was very useful
for us.

5. Issues
• One of the main issues we found from this
feedback was the appearance of our genre.
• A lot of people believed that the genre was in
fact more reality instead of soap opera.

6. Issues
• Another issue was that people felt that the
trailer was very slow paced and not much
variety of action coming their way in enough
time.
• If this was the case for our final trailer then it
would not attract a large audience at all and
so this was definitely a priority.

7. Solutions
• To improve the pace of the trailer we needed to
spent more time on the edit and refining certain
scenes for example, the bedroom scene which was a
lot longer when including Ollie’s blunt response to
the girls but when taking that out and replacing it
with Ollie taking a quick glance at the girl’s made it a
lot quicker.

8. Solutions
• We also decided to create a montage at the end of
the trailer to give a dramatic climax and also to raise
the pace of everything.
• This was hugely successful for us as it gave a fantastic
finale to the trailer and added to the effect on the
audience dramatically.
