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
did this together as our opinions mattered to one
another. We did this by going to each others
computers and looking at what everybody has
created, we gave one another great feedback and also
targets and room for improvement. This plan of
action helped me to think more creatively and have
an open mind when looking at my peers feedback.
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 enjoy.
I wanted my target audience of young adults to be happy with
the final piece, so I valued their opinion very much in the
documentary style decision making. It was very helpful to have
their advice and opinion at this very early decision making
stage.
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 documentary
genre and story line, due to my target audience
over all opinion. I chose to have more music than
ambient sound, create a documentary similar to
‘24 hours in A & E’ (with the action and interviews)
and to involve both observation and factual voice
overs.

6. PEER FEEDBACK
I have received feedback from my peers through creating a
documentary presentation, this presentation enabled me to narrow
down particular choices I would soon make for my documentary
coursework.
This consisted of creating a focus group with my peers. My focus
group responses were very positive and resulting in me deciding:
o To create an observational documentary, with added interviews
o Have factual voice overs as well as interviews
o Be on between 7.30 & 10pm for my target audience
o Be an hour long
o It would be seen on a channel 4 as a drama.
7. OVERALL
The feedback I received on my ancillary texts was very useful
and enabled me to alter my coursework and listen to advice. By
making little alterations and correcting little mistakes I did not
notice, I learnt how to improve my work by using online
tutorials to increase my Photoshop skills.
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 opinion is very important to
enhance the reality of my documentary and really
have an understanding of creating moving image
is like, in the real world.
