The majority understood the storyline and thought the shots and music were suitable. Responses varied on the appropriate age rating but most said 15. While the title sequence could be improved, most audience members liked it. Most thought the film would be suitable for a short film festival and would recommend it to others. Areas for potential improvement included the storyline, music, and title sequence.
Evaluation Questions 4 and 5
The document discusses audience testing and feedback for a student media project. It provides results from questionnaires given to the target audience of 15-24 year olds. Overall, the feedback was positive - most respondents correctly identified the genre as horror, found the opening tense, understood the plot and use of flashbacks, and said they would recommend the film. Some constructive feedback addressed improving elements like sound design and building more tension. The students were pleased most feedback validated their creative choices while also identifying potential areas for enhancement.
Q4 media evaluation
This document discusses the target audience for a media product. The primary audience is identified as 15-24 year old, heterosexual, white females from lower-middle income brackets. Web 2.0 and relatable female protagonist are identified as ways to attract this audience. The secondary audience is 25-35 year old, heterosexual, white males from middle income brackets. More sophisticated themes and an intellectual mystery are seen as attracting this group. Audience feedback from an online survey showed that people enjoyed the engaging story, music, female protagonist, and relatable characters but some found it unclear and not relatable. The certification of 15 is deemed appropriate given the psychological threats and potential imitable behaviors depicted.
Audience feedback
1) Feedback from friends and family on the film's opening sequence was mostly positive, though some found it confusing with a lot happening at once without explanation.
2) 93% said they would watch the full film, but some may not if the opening doesn't make sense.
3) Music fit well with the scenes and built tension without being too dramatic, though using different scores for underwater vs other scenes was considered.
Evaluation question 1
In what ways does the media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products
Audience Profile
The document discusses reasons why people watch soap operas based on a study. The study found there are three main reasons - uses and gratifications theory, parasocial interaction, and identification. It also identified four areas that influence which soap someone watches: social interaction, entertainment, regular part of routine, and personal identification/involvement with characters. The document then shares the results of a survey that asked questions about soap opera watching preferences to gain audience insights.
Audience feedback

For most questions, the majority of the audience responded positively: They felt engaged (Question 1), would watch the full film (Question 3), and liked aspects like the female protagonist (Question 7) and fitting music (Question 6). Some elements were more mixed - about half felt a physical response to the film (Question 8). The producers intended to make audiences uncomfortable and uneased. They also aimed to keep the short film simple to understand, which most of the younger audience appreciated based on the feedback.
Audience research
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire sent to 20 people who are the target audience for a supernatural horror film.

However, Marx ignores positive functions of religion and neo-Marxists argue some forms can assist class consciousness.
A2 Sociology: Marxist Theories of Religion
Marxist theories view religion as an ideological tool used by the ruling capitalist class to justify the suffering of the working class and prevent class uprising. Religion tells the poor their suffering will be rewarded in the afterlife. Feminist theories also see many religions as patriarchal institutions that reflect and perpetuate the subordination of women through religious beliefs, organizations, texts, and customs. However, some feminists argue religion has not always oppressed women and it does not do so in all forms. The role of women in some religions is changing as certain churches now allow women to hold positions of religious authority.
Functionalist theories of religion
This is a presentation for the A2 sociology course religious beliefs, foucsing on functionalism, more theories are to come
A2 Sociology: Defining Relgion
Sociologists define religion in three main ways - substantive, functional, and social constructionist. Substantive definitions focus on religious beliefs like belief in God or the supernatural. Functional definitions see religion as serving social or psychological functions. Social constructionist definitions say religion cannot be universally defined and definitions are contested and influenced by those in power. Durkheim saw religion as reinforcing social solidarity through rituals and collective worship. Malinowski and Parsons argued religion helps individuals cope with stress and finds meaning. Bellah's concept of civil religion described religion uniting American society through rituals like pledging allegiance. Lenin and Marx viewed religion as a tool for ruling classes to control populations by masking exploitation.
Sociology of Religion
This document discusses several key topics related to the sociology of religion:
1) It defines religiosity and the different ways people can express or experience religion.
2) It outlines Ernst Troeltsch's typology of religious organizations as ecclesia, church, sect, and cult. It then describes the characteristics of each type.
3) It discusses some of the major theoretical perspectives in sociology on how religion affects society and individuals, such as the functionalist, conflict theory, and rational choice perspectives. Religion can both unite and divide society.
Unit 3 Sociology: Beliefs in society
Religion plays complex and varied roles in society according to different sociological perspectives. Functionalists view religion as primarily serving conservative functions by promoting social solidarity and stability. However, Marxists see religion as an ideological tool used by the ruling class to legitimate inequality. Feminists argue that most religions reflect and reinforce patriarchal values and the subordination of women. Some sociologists such as Weber view religion as capable of driving social change, while others see it more as a conservative force seeking to maintain traditional beliefs and social structures. Debates also exist around secularization and the declining importance of religion in modern societies.

The document summarizes the results of a survey about audience preferences for soap operas. Key findings include:
- EastEnders is the most popular soap, followed by Hollyoaks and Emmerdale. Neighbours, Home and Away, and Doctors received no responses.
- The majority watch soaps every night and prefer storylines involving mysteries like murders.

Audience profile (3)
The document discusses reasons why people watch soap operas based on a study. It finds that people watch for uses and gratifications, parasocial interaction, and identification. It also discusses four areas that influence which soap someone chooses: social interaction, entertainment, integration into daily routine, and identification with characters. The document then shares results from a survey about soap opera viewers which asked about watching habits, favorite soaps and storylines, preferences for trailers, and desired elements in a new soap opera.
A2 Media Questionnaire
This document analyzes the responses to a 10-question media questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to gauge interest in a supernatural/paranormal mockumentary among the target audience. Most respondents watch Netflix regularly and have seen Netflix documentaries and mockumentaries like The Office. While BBC One was a slightly more popular suggested viewing platform than Netflix, the difference was small. Respondents expressed interest in an observational or participatory style documentary and preferred a lighthearted presentation. They also indicated they would be interested in the proposed supernatural topic if it was well-executed. The conclusions were that the target audience is receptive to the idea and the project can proceed with further planning.

Primary Research Task - Unit G324
1) Primary research conducted on soap opera preferences found that family and friend relationships was the most popular theme, and that women are more likely to watch soap operas than men.
2) The research also found that ages 25-45 and 55+ were the most likely to watch soap operas, and that viewers prefer soaps to have between 16-20 characters and air every day or every other day between 7-9pm.

- Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams' "Wikinomics" argues that the internet has "democratized" media through free sharing of information and user creativity.
- Clay Shirky notes that the internet has changed newspapers from a mass product to niche offerings, challenging their business models.
Screenshots of Finished Products Ancillary 2
- The document discusses drafts of a soap opera poster the author created for a school project.
- Feedback on the initial draft said the text sizes and spacing looked unprofessional and the white banner was too prominent.
- The next draft used the E4 logo and rearranged characters to look more interconnected.
- A further draft added a hashtag to attract a youthful audience on social media.
- The final draft changed the logo to black, white and yellow based on peer feedback that those colors appealed more to the target audience.
Post Production Plan
This document outlines the skills the author has developed in post-production over the past two years. They discuss using skills like speed duration, breaking the 180 degree rule, selection tools in Photoshop, and color correction in Premiere from their GCSE through their AS and A2 levels. The author concludes that they have become more confident using software to make their productions conventional to their intended genres or institutions while also effectively representing characters to audiences.

Editing- photoshop
I have edited text in Photoshop by making key words bold for emphasis. I experimented with different text colors and glow effects. I also rearranged characters in an image using selection and layer tools to make it more conventional and create a darker atmosphere foreshadowing drama. Additionally, I adjusted brightness and contrast to make colors more vibrant and clear. Finally, I edited a signpost to fit my house style with white text on black for my soap titled "Memory Lane", appealing to my target British audience by mentioning London.
Image Manipulations
The document discusses editing two photos for a magazine cover using Photoshop. For the first photo of Becky, the editor increased brightness, contrast, and vibrance to make the colors more vibrant and eye-catching. Background blur was also added to focus attention on Becky. For the second photo of Emma, brightness and contrast were increased to enhance features and hair color. Background blur was again used to make the subject stand out against the backdrop. The editor believes the edited images now look more conventional and appealing for the magazine cover.
Research Into Similar Magazine Texts
This document analyzes magazine front covers for different soap opera television programs. It examines various design elements of the covers and how they are used to attract audiences and sell magazines, including use of bold text and headlines, prominent display of prices, inclusion of popular characters, eye-catching colors, and teasers about storylines. Key elements that sell the magazines are found to be exciting headlines and cover lines that create suspense, low prices clearly shown, and the use of multiple well-known stars from different shows.
Analysis of 3 Similar Texts
The document analyzes three soap opera trailers from different channels - Eastenders, Emmerdale, and Hollyoaks. For each trailer, the document examines the channel it airs on, its target audience in terms of age, gender, socioeconomic status and psychographic groups. It also analyzes the storylines, technical codes like camerawork, editing, lighting and sound, and how each trailer persuades its audience. The document concludes by reflecting on similarities across the trailers that could inspire the creation of a new soap opera trailer.
The Commissioning Process
The document discusses the commissioning process at Channel 4 and E4. It begins by explaining that the commissioning editor sets the budget and production is created. It then provides details on Channel 4's portfolio including E4 and their roles in commissioning content from independent producers. The rest of the document outlines the application process, funding sources, drawbacks for applicants, and alternative distribution options like social media.
The Commissioning Process
The commissioning process at Channel 4 and E4 begins with an idea that is developed into a text by a commissioning editor with an assigned budget. As publicly owned but commercially funded broadcasters, they do not receive public funding and rely on advertising revenue to finance new programming. The commissioning editor oversees the process of selecting ideas from producers through an application and interview system, with the goal of finding innovative content for their diverse audience. However, not all applicants are successful due to limited budgets and slots, and their ideas must fit the broadcaster's genres and ethos.
Why is it important to secure permissions
It is important to secure permissions for any copyrighted materials like audio, video, images, or logos used in a media project to avoid legal issues. Without proper permissions, the project could be removed from websites or result in lawsuits for copyright infringement. Filming in locations also requires permission to avoid upsetting property owners or issues with trespassing. The penalties for not securing permissions can be serious, like arrests, bans, or takedowns of online content.
Audience Profile
The document discusses the target audience for a new soap opera. It aims to target young females aged 16-25 who are likely still in education. They would fall in the D or C1 socioeconomic groups and have lifestyles involving education and spending free time with friends engaged in activities like sports, social media, music and Netflix. Incorporating these interests along with relatable storylines about education and relationships will appeal to and engage this target demographic.
Ofcom Regulations
The document discusses UK regulation of content on television by Ofcom. It describes the watershed at 9pm, before which content is restricted and not suitable for children under 15. Ofcom gathers public opinions to review and analyze broadcasting standards. Violence, sexual content, language, and imitative behaviors are debated, with most agreeing some restrictions should apply before 9pm to protect children. Reasons for regulation include not wanting children negatively influenced or exposed to inappropriate material. However, some content can also be educational for children.

Audience feedback
- 2. Audience feedback 1) Do you watch soap operas? Why? Why not? From asking this question in our questionnaire I now know that the majority of the people asked enjoy watching soaps. They additionally have stated that they enjoy soaps because they have free time and find them entertaining.
- 3. Audience feedback 2) What is your favourite soap and why? From analysing my results Eastenders is the clear winner out of all already existing soaps. Therefore it is likely that Eastenders will be our main competitor as our target audience appear to find Eastenders exciting and entertaining.
- 4. Audience feedback 3) What storyline interest you most? Why? Examples. Most people within our target said that the storylines that most interest them are dramatic and involve some element of mystery e.g. Murder. Traditional conventions such as drugs, pregnancy and love were additionally suggested and therefore we will try to include some of these in our own production.
- 5. Audience feedback 4) How often do you watch soaps? The majority of people asked stated that they watch soaps every other day. We will take this into consideration when we produce our own text as we want to create a soap that fits the wants and needs of our target audience.
- 6. Audience feedback 5) What do you want to see in a trailer? Most of our audience have said that they want to see drama, cliff-hangers and a range of different narratives. When producing my own soap opera these aspects will be analysed and we will try to include as many of them as possible to make our soap opera appealing to our target audience.
- 7. Audience feedback 6) Do you like fast paced, action packed Trailers or slow, suspense building trailers? 7/9 responses from our audience suggested that fast paced action packed trailer would be preferable. When we make our soap opera trailer I intend to include these aspects as they obviously appeal to our target audience and therefore our product is likely to be successful.
- 8. Audience feedback 7) what do you dislike about trailers? The majority of our audience have said that they can be boring and slow. In order to make sure our trailer isn’t like this we will try to use fast pace editing and a variation of characters in order to keep the audience entertained. Additionally we will ensure we include days and times at the end of the trailer so the audience know when the soap is on.
- 9. Audience feedback 8) What would you like to see in a new soap? The audience feedback that we received from this question was very mixed for example someone suggested that we produced a soap aimed at a younger target audience. This is a good idea as this is an audience that has not been specifically penetrated up until now. Additionally the comment of ‘a balance between dark and light hearted story lines' was an interesting opinion and relevant to the production of our text as we need to be original and by doing this we may achieve.
- 10. Audience feedback 9) When would be the best time of day and day of the week to broadcast our soap? Most people have suggested that we show our soap at some point in between 7 and 9 as not to disrupt and social plans and works around dinner time. Additionally it has been suggested that the soap should be shown weekdays daily and not on the weekend.
- 11. Audience feedback 10) Do you like soaps that concentrate on negative drama or resolution? 6/9 respondents have said that they like the aspects of negative drama involved in already existing soaps, one person said both, one person wasn’t sure and the last person preferred resolution. As we are not making the whole soap resolution may be hard to display without foreshadowing the storyline too much. However I do like the idea of combining both concepts e.g. Negative drama with a happy ending.
