Thank you for turning up today and taking the time to feedback on my group’s media project. Feel free to munch on the popcorn and drinks provided whilst completing the feedback. We will start by watching the trailer that we have created, if you could please leave the paper turned face down until we’ve finished the first viewing that would be great. (play trailer)
Ok you can now turn over the paper, you will need a pen to fill in the questionnaire. We will play the trailer again to help you answer some of the questions. (play trailer)
(If people are still writing after the trailer give them a time limit of 2 minutes to complete the questionnaire and then hand them in)
We will now quickly run through a presentation to gain more valuable feedback.
I am going to ask you some yes or no questions now. After each question please could you hold up either the Yes or No card.

Here are the posters. Which poster do you think would entice you the most to watch the film? Could you please hold up your red card when I point to your preferred choice. (point to each poster and state which one they are)
