2. AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
• The feedback I received after the film show was great. Not only did the
audience comment on things they really liked, they also made sure to
tell me of things that if I were to go back and change something, I
should do.
• I learned from this feedback that with hard work and concentration on
even the minor details, it can have an effect on how the audience view
your work.
• The overall reception of the work was excellent, with audience members
saying they found it cute, yet also relatable. This was great as I wanted
to create a piece that people of all different ages could watch and take
something from.
