Leah created drafts of ancillary tasks and asked peers for feedback. They reviewed each other's work and provided constructive feedback on improvements and successes. The mixed feedback helped Leah think more creatively and improve her work, such as adjusting structure and text positioning. Overall, peer feedback was valuable for enhancing her coursework and gaining inspiration from classmates' work.

2. ANCILLARY TASK PEER FEEDBACK
After I was able to start my ancillary tasks, I created many drafts and asked my peers for feedback. We
all done this together in our class as our opinions mattered to each and every one of us. We did this by
simply going to each others computers and looking at what every body had created themselves, we
gave one another good feedback which outlined the imperfections which could be improved on and the
successes. The plan of action helped me to think much more creatively and have an open mind when
looking at my peers feedback. The feedback I reviewed was mixed, mainly targets to improve well
small adjustments such as structure and the position of text e.t.c.
Overall the feedback from my fellow peers really did help me to improve my coursework, as well as
gaining inspiration rom my other classmates work as this made it much more realistic as to what you
can achieve on digital technologies such as Photoshop. I was able to adapt these skills and techniques
to my own work.

4. AUDIENCE RESEARCH FEEDBACK
I created a questionnaire for my peer audience ranging from different ages and genders. This was very
important for my coursework as it enabled me to decide what kind of documentary style my audience would
enjoy ranging from the main 4 styles- expository, reflexive, observational and interactive. I personally think it
is extremely important to aim my questionnaire at a variety of ages and genders as every different individual
has a different opinion and interpretation of documentary that they have consumed by the media. It really
interested my to see what kind of documentaries my audience preferred and to see weather there was a
specific mode. Despite the fact my documentary is aimed at teenagers and youths in general who are or
have perhaps been affected by drugs, to make them aware of the consequences and inevitably to stop them,
my audience is also the general public. I think that getting this message and warning out to the public about
the effects of harmful drugs is exceptionally important to do as everybody may be affected by the abuse of
drugs in an interactive way or a reflective way.
I wanted my target audience of young adults to be happy with the final piece, so I did value their opinions a
lot in the documentary style decision making as I think this has the greatest impact upon its audience as the
structure and the way the context is presented helps the audience to engage more. It was very helpful to
have their advice and opinion at this very early decision making stage. The feedback I received from my
peers helped me to improve my final pieces as I referred to my audience feedback when I wasn't sure about
an idea- this helped me meet the needs of my audience, creating a more successful outcome.

5. AUDIENCE FEEDBACK I RECEIVED
Here are some of the answers I received from my
documentary questionnaire. I took these all into
consideration when choosing my documentaries genre and
story line due to my audiences overall opinion. I chose to
have more transitions rather than just straight jump cuts to
different scenes to help make the story flow better and more
fluently. I chose to go with the style of ’24 Hours in A&E’ as
this involves a lot of interviews which are speaking of
medical issues- much like the story line and construction of
my documentary. The use of intense sound also helped to
create a sense of tension which aligns itself with the quotes
of answers I received from my documentary questionnaire as
my audience said they would like to hear tense sounds to
convey the story more. My feedback enabled me to
understand that my audience are more concerned about
meaning as opposed to following famous people around their
town for entertainment- a documentary should be factual and
have pure meaning based upon real life events or to convey
a particular message or idea.

6. OVERALL
The feedback I received on my ancillary texts was extremely useful as it enabled me to alter my
coursework and put my peers advise into action. This helped my create a much more successful
outcome than my first drafts. By making small amendments and alterations to my poster and finishing
and correcting my double page spread, it allowed me to recognise the difference between before and
after and how much more sophisticated it looks. I learnt how to improve my work using online tutorials to
increase my photoshop skills. I learnt that my advertisement needs to be as effective as can be- I
achieved this through creating a dark smoky background/silhouette in front of my models face and
around the smaller images. I blended images together using the rubber on a low occupacity, not
necessarily neatly, to create a broken, mysterious interpretation to the audience. This created an eery
effect which I thought my audience would approve of due to their fondness of intensity.
The feedback I received on my documentary planning enabled me to give the majority of the audience
what they preferred to see in a documentary. Their opinions were very important to me to enhance he
reality of my documentary and really develop and have an understanding of what creating moving image
is like in the real world.
