Documentary questionnaire results
1) A survey was conducted about documentary viewing habits and preferences. It found that a majority of people only watch documentaries about topics they are interested in, so the proposed documentary on Meninism would need good promotion to appeal to its target audience.
2) Voiceover narration was the most popular narration style among respondents. Showing both sides of an issue was preferred over taking one clear position.
3) Documentaries were seen as effective at increasing understanding of topics and influencing opinions, so the proposed documentary should aim to inform viewers about Meninism in a balanced way.
Focus group questionnaire results
- A focus group of 10-15 students aged 16-18 at a college watched a documentary and filled out a questionnaire to provide feedback.
- The focus group enjoyed watching the documentary and found it informative, entertaining, and well-edited.
- However, some commented that some interviews and vox pops were too quiet and difficult to hear.
- Based on the feedback, the documentary successfully educated and informed viewers about its topic, but the producers need to adjust audio levels on some parts before finalizing it.
Evaluation 3
The document provides feedback from surveys about a documentary. Respondents mostly commented that they enjoyed the variety of facts and figures presented. They also liked the interview with a community member who was involved with supporting the local hospital. Some felt the documentary addressed the topic well but could have gone into more depth, for example by interviewing more people directly impacted by changes to hospital services. Suggested improvements included using higher quality audio equipment for voiceovers and including more b-roll footage to supplement interviews.
Eval qu 1
The document discusses how the media product for a documentary on refugees uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products. It uses conventions like archival footage, background music, expert interviews, voxpops, and statistics. It develops conventions by using slower background music suited to the topic and showing statistics visually. It challenges conventions by having shorter voxpops, including three locations instead of two, using narration without an on-screen presenter, and targeting a slightly older audience than the real product. The document examines how the magazine spread, radio advert, and presenters develop or challenge conventions from a real documentary called "fight games: the thrill of the kill."
Pilot qustionnaire a22222
The document analyzes the results of a questionnaire given to test audiences for an independent science fiction film. Some key findings include:
1) Audiences preferred the genre and wanted a complex narrative that doesn't follow conventions.
2) They wanted older scientist characters and a non-traditional relationship dynamic.
3) Test audiences favored a 15 rating for more graphic content and a sophisticated, non-traditional ending.
4) For posters, they preferred a dark, abstract style with iconography over imagery and wanted to know critics' reviews.
5) For radio ads, audiences wanted direct promotion with film clips, music and providing information in 30-40 second spots aired during morning programs.
Evaluation q3
The document discusses feedback the student received from their audience research. They conducted a survey that showed their target audience was mostly aged 17-19 and enjoyed crime documentaries. This informed their decision to create a crime documentary. They also received feedback that documentaries should be factual but also entertaining. Peer feedback on documentary styles indicated an expository style with interviews and reenactments would appeal most. Focus group responses confirmed this and suggested other elements like air time and channel style. The feedback helped the student tailor their documentary to their target audience.
Question 2
The combination of the documentary, radio advert, and double page spread (DPS) were effective promotional products that maintained consistency through several themes. The documentary focused on media pressures on teenage girls' appearances, while the radio advert and DPS promoted the documentary. Consistency was achieved through using the same voxpops from girls in both the documentary and radio advert. Additionally, the products maintained consistency by including the documentary's date, time, and channel in the radio advert and DPS. Statistics on body image were also included in all three products. While the same presenter was only used in the documentary, the presenter's image appeared in the DPS, maintaining a link. Similar styles of music and language were used to relate
Genre theory a2
Genre theory proposes that genres are created through repetition and recognition by audiences of certain conventions, leading audiences to develop expectations of what a genre contains. To keep audiences interested, producers will maintain some conventional elements of a genre but also add new or different elements to prevent boredom, through a concept known as hybridity, where a media product combines genres. Genres provide guidelines for producers and help market media products by appealing to proven popular genres and audience expectations.

Question 1bTheories
This document discusses several theories related to narrative, genre, representation, audience, and media language that could be applied to analyzing movie trailers. It summarizes each theory and provides an example of how the theory could partly or fully apply to teaser trailers. Some of the main theories discussed include Barthes' narrative theory, Todorov's stages of narrative, Propp's character types, Neale's genre theory, Mulvey's male gaze, and Saussure's semiotics.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses audience feedback received on a documentary, newspaper advert, and radio trailer. The feedback showed that the target audience found the content interesting and wanted to see more. Some key learnings were that background music should be added to the documentary to make it more engaging. The newspaper advert's image could be misinterpreted, so alternative images showing different animals are needed. The radio trailer effectively grabbed attention and made people want to watch the full documentary. Overall, the feedback helped identify ways to improve the documentary and marketing materials to better appeal to the target audience.
Question 3
The focus group provided valuable feedback that helped improve the media product at each stage. They helped choose images and colors for the ancillary tasks that would elicit the strongest emotional response from audiences. For the documentary, they recommended adding subtitles to aid understanding and fading between images in the montage rather than abrupt cuts, to maintain audience engagement. Their input was instrumental in shaping the overall project to best connect with target audiences.
Task2
The methods used to research audiences for the product included both primary and secondary research. Primary research methods were a survey and focus group, which provided information on the audience's interests, demographics, and opinions of the film Django Unchained. Secondary research examined statistics related to the film's performance and release. The research helped define and classify the audience according to the data collected.
Task2.5
The document summarizes the methods used to research the audience for the films Django Unchained and Rush Hour. Both primary and secondary research methods were used, including surveys, focus groups, and statistical research. The primary research provided qualitative insights into audience opinions, likes/dislikes, and demographics. The secondary research provided quantitative audience data on factors like box office earnings. The research methods supported each other, with primary research validating conclusions from secondary research. Overall, the mixed qualitative and quantitative approach helped define the target audiences and identify the best advertising strategies.
Evaluation question 3
The document provides feedback from audiences on a documentary. It finds that while the documentary successfully raised awareness as intended, it may have unintentionally shown a bias against underage drinking. Both male and female primary audiences felt it raised awareness, but females only saw the negatives while males saw positives like social aspects. The filmmaker realizes they should have better balanced positive and negative footage to avoid bias. Audience feedback helps the filmmaker evaluate what they did well conveying their purpose and messages, and where they may have fallen short of neutrality.
Media question 2
The document discusses how three media texts (a documentary, radio trailer, and magazine article) about cyberbullying were linked together. It explains that the same name ("Banter or Bullying?") was used across all three to connect them. Short clips and the same background music from the documentary were included in the radio trailer. The magazine article featured an image from an interview in the documentary and pictures related to social media. While some connections were made, the document concludes that even stronger links, like more documentary images and using the same voiceover, could have been established between the texts.
Applying audience theories (q1b)
The document discusses several audience theories and how they apply to a media production project. The Hypodermic Needle Theory is deemed least useful because the target audience is active online and able to choose their own media. The Uses and Gratification Theory is considered most useful because the production can have different meanings and audiences would watch for different needs like entertainment and personal identity. Audience Reception Theory shows the key messages conveyed about genre, storyline and audience were understood due to conventions used, though there was some negotiated reading of a character's fate due to an enigma code.
Audience Feedback
Survey Monkey was used to create an online survey about a student film project. It provided percentages of responses for each answer. Facebook and blogs were also used to promote the film and survey. The survey results showed that most respondents were aged 15-20 and found the mirror sequences and flashback scenes to be the most impactful parts of the film. Some feedback suggested developing the characters and story more while others felt no changes were needed.
Evaluation question 3 - (2)
Audience feedback helped the creator make changes to their media products to better target their intended audience. Researching existing social realist films and conducting a questionnaire provided insight into the target demographics interests like gang culture and modern issues. The trailer length, inclusion of social media links, and use of violence in the poster were adjusted based on feedback. Additional interviews gave more perspective on engaging real-life issues. Peer reviews highlighted needed text clarity changes. Final feedback confirmed the products would appeal to the target audience and meet social realist genre conventions.
Audience feedback presentation
The document provides feedback from audiences on a crime documentary focusing on young people. Key learnings include: audiences wanted original content targeted at young people; interviews with a teacher and youth worker provided a unique perspective; and a survey showed audiences preferred a documentary on youth drug crime. Further feedback was gathered through draft versions and promotional materials. Changes were made to improve quality, consistency and storytelling based on audience recommendations. This helped the documentary appeal to audiences as intended.

Their 5-minute documentary focused on challenging stereotypes about body modification. They researched documentary modes and chose to use an expository approach with voiceover, interviews, facts and archival footage. They also produced a magazine article and radio trailer following conventions of those media. While they effectively utilized many conventions, they note ways their project could have been improved, such as clearer writing and lighting during interviews.
Q1
The document discusses a student media evaluation of their documentary called "Under My Skin". The 5-minute documentary explores stereotypes related to body modification. In researching documentary styles, the students determined that an expository mode would best suit their topic as it allows for presenting facts to support arguments on both sides of the issue. The document describes several codes and conventions the students employed from real documentaries to develop their project, such as using interviews, statistics, establishing shots and narration. It also reflects on ways they could have further developed elements like lighting and font sizes.
Question 1
The document discusses a student's documentary project exploring the Meninism movement. It summarizes:
1) The student was asked to create the opening of a documentary, a magazine listing, and radio trailer on a chosen topic. They decided to explore Meninism, a movement that began as a joke response to feminism on social media.
2) To guide their documentary style, the student researched Bill Nichols' documentary modes and chose to use expository and participatory styles. Their documentary included interviews, vox pops from students, statistics with images/text, and background footage related to the topics discussed.
3) The student studied conventions from similar documentaries to incorporate, such as anonymous interviews
Phone ophilia
The document provides an evaluation of a group's media project focusing on teenagers' phone addiction. They created a documentary, listings page, and radio trailer on this topic. To make an effective documentary, they studied conventions from real BBC documentaries, including opening with the channel logo, using a montage and narration to introduce the topic, conducting interviews, and including vox pops from students. Their listings page and radio trailer also used conventions like prominent titles, air time/date, and rhetorical questions to advertise and generate interest in the documentary. While the projects promoted the documentary well, they were advertised on mediums less likely to reach teenagers.
Phone ophilia
The document provides an evaluation of a documentary, listings page, and radio trailer created as part of a media coursework project focusing on teenagers' phone addiction. Conventions from real media products were studied and implemented, including opening with the channel logo, using a montage and narration to introduce the topic, conducting interviews, and including a title and images. The listings page and radio trailer were made to advertise the documentary, employing techniques like rhetorical questions and mentioning the program title, channel, and air time. While the projects employed standard codes and conventions, there was a minor error between the listings page and radio trailer promotion times.
Question 1 evaluation
Our media product challenges some conventions while adhering to others. We produced a 5-minute documentary on tattoo discrimination that follows an expository mode. It includes interviews, facts, and archival footage but no reconstructions. For promotion, we created a radio trailer featuring clips from the documentary and a double-page magazine spread in the style of Radio Times. While meeting conventions for time length and elements, the trailer and spread tweak conventions by excluding additional images and graphics. Overall, the goal was to inform viewers on our topic while mirroring real media forms.
Evaluation slides.
The document discusses how the media product, a TV documentary, uses conventions from real documentaries. It includes three expert interviews, a voiceover, backing music, and opening montage to set up the topic. Vox pops from students are included to represent different opinions on the topic. Captions are used during interviews to identify the expert and their topic expertise. Transitions fade between clips to make them flow smoothly. The documentary follows conventions like those seen in documentaries like "Supersize Me" to appear professional and informative for the audience.
Evaluation slides. (3)
The document discusses how the student's media product followed conventions of real documentaries in various ways. It included expert interviews, a voiceover, opening montage, filler footage, captions during interviews, cutaways, transitions between clips, and establishing shots. The documentary used expository and poetic modes of documentary. The radio trailer and magazine article promoted the documentary by including sound bites and quotes from interviews. Both the documentary and ancillary texts appealed to parents by featuring experts alongside student opinions.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses research conducted with the target audience of teenagers and young adults to inform the creation of a documentary. A questionnaire was administered to determine preferred documentary styles. Most preferred the reflexive style, so this was the main approach used. Interviews further probed interests in the topic of internet culture. A screening gathered feedback, confirming the appeal to the target demographic and identifying issues to address, such as inconsistent sound levels. Engaging the target audience throughout provided valuable guidance that strengthened the final documentary.
