6. What is your least favourite thing
about our documentary?
Overall we received mostly positive feedback however some
criticism we got included:
Some of the interviews were a bit dark – to correct this in the
future I would adjust the lighting even more of the interviews.
Mise-en-scene in Voxs Pops – If I were to refilm the vox pops, I
would film them in a city centre as the background would be
more interesting, and there would be more people.
Voice over could be a bit louder – To improve this I’d adjust and
raise the sound for the voice over so that it can be heard more.
Two interviews in the same location.

This question was very
interesting as we were
able to ask our

various aspects of our
documentary. Many of
these categories did
very well and were
rated highly, most
notably narrative and
themes, and cutaways
and archive.

Yes
No
Everyone said that we followed
the typical codes and
conventions of a documentary,
with the following examples
given:

interviews
•The interviewees don’t look
into the camera
•Archive material
•Second camera used
10. Does the radio trailer make you
want to watch the documentary?
The majority of my
audience asked
said that the
radio trailer does
make them want
to watch the
documentary –
with only one
exception. This
highlights how
the radio trailer
was effective as
the sound bites
were interesting
enough to make
people want to
hear more.19 1
11. What are the strengths and
weaknesses of our radio trailer?
We asked our audience to name a few of the strengths and weaknesses of our radio trailer
and got the following responses:
Strengths:
•Interesting clips
chosen
•Clips make you
want to listen to
the whole thing
•Music in
background gives
it a spookier vibe
Weaknesses:
•One of the clips
sounds slightly
rushed
•Could’ve been
a bit more
interesting – To
work on this we
would add a few
more sound
bites from the
documentary in.
12. Does the radio trailer follow the

Yes
No
Everyone asked agreed that
the radio trailer followed the

We asked another
question asking our
viewers/listeners to
rate elements of our
radio trailer. According
to this research, the
strongest thing about
our trailer was the
content (sound clips
used) which we had
carefully chosen from
our documentary.
15. Does the print advert make you want to
watch the documentary?
Our print advert
was one of our
strongest
products and
everyone
agreed that
from seeing it
they would like
to watch the
documentary.
This also
highlights how
the poster links
to the theme of
supernatural as
from this people
know they would
like to watch a
documentary on
this topic.
16. What is the biggest strength of our
print ad?
Photograph
The main
image
It looks very
professional
The editing
Looks like a real
Channel 4 ad
Structure
Quality
of
image
effects
It fits the
topic
From this I learnt that the main image was one of our biggest strengths, which I agree
catches the eye and draws the viewer to want to see our documentary.
17. What is the biggest weakness of
our print advert?
There wasn’t much negative feedback or criticism of our print
advert, however there were a few comments:
‘Title could be bolder’
‘The white background behind text is distracting’
I have taken these things into account, although taking into
consideration that we followed the convention of having the title
and the rest of the text in a simple text in order to not take away
from the main image. Also it is typical to have this text on top of
white boxes so it can still be seen.
18. Does the print advert follow the
codes and conventions?
Once again, all of the
people asked agreed that
we had followed the codes
and conventions of print
adverts, as we included a
main image, the channel 4
logo on the right hand side,
and simple text in the
bottom left hand side. This
demonstrates how we have
included all of the features
of a real print advert,
highlighting the
professionalism of ours.

Of 20 asked, everyone rated
our title a 4 or 5 out of 5. This
highlights how this was a
successful name and linked to
our topic.
Most people said that our
products were very
professional, which reflects
the fact that we had
researched and utilized the
codes and conventions to
inform our decisions.
Almost everyone said that our
three products showed good
continuity. This is positive as it
shows how we have created a
strong brand identity and the
three products resemble each
other and the same topic
(supernatural)
21. Can you see the link between our
three products?
Similarly to the previous question, everyone asked
said that they could see the link between our
three products. This demonstrates how all of the
products have a similar vibe and suit the
supernatural topic.
