1. What have you learnt from audience feedback?
To gather our audience feedback, we produced a simple questionnaire, asking fellow
students to rate our products overall, and also on how appropriate they were.
These are the results for our final product.

From the bar chart we can tell that our documentary was believed to be average
because 11 out of 23 people rated our documentary 7/10.
These results tell us that our documentary was not thought of as poor this is shown by
us not receiving anything below 4. On the other hand students believed if given the
chance there was still elements which we could improve upon as 10/10 was not
scored. We believe that that score was adequate for our documentary although we
would have liked higher

3. On a whole our documentary falls under the category of public affairs
documentary as it’s made in a traditional format because we have chosen to
show it using public service broadcasters , BBC. This type of documentary is
known for investigating and exploring into current affairs.
It could also be know that our documentary is polemical because it focuses on a
perceived wrong within current society .
4. The following pie chart represents whether or not students thought the
ancillary tasks which we produced effectively promoted the
documentary. Overall unfortunately 39% of people we asked believe
that the radio trailer and double page spread failed to effectively
promote our documentary. However 61% believe that our ancillary tasks
did work successfully in promoting our documentary.
No
When asked if they thought our 3 tasks had a clear defined brand identity. The
pie chart on the left shows that 78% believe that our 3 products did but 22% of
the 23 people we questioned disagreed.
From the verbal feedback we received it was noted that the documentary had good sound quality and
that the choice of music was appropriate as it was insistent which create tension. Furthermore we
were informed that our interviews were very informative and that the mise- en- scene and shot
composure were of high standard.
A point raised in the verbal feed back about our documentary was that there seemed to be an
inconsistence, with questions appearing on screen and the voice over asking the questions. In
addition with regards to the double page spread it was advised that if we had the chance to edit/
tweak our tasks that the photograph of the cigarettes shouldn’t be the feature image. These are both
points we would take on board as improvements if we were to repeat this project. Unfortunately our
questionnaire lets us down because it didn’t clearly enable us to gain enough qualitative data with the
audience’s opinions. A question was asked about target audience however the exacts of target
audience was not specified.
