4. Audience feedback results
(would people watch the rest of the documentary after watching the first five
minutes?)
The results show that majority of the people questioned said
after watching the first five minutes of the documentary that
they would watch the full documentary.
This shows that the opening five minutes of the documentary
was good and it was detailed enough and portaged in a good
enough way the to the viewer to make them interested in the
topic and make them want to watch the rest of the
documentary.
Some people questioned said that the documentary could
have gave more facts at the start of the documentary.
They felt if more facts had been added to the ones that were
already there it would have made it better for them because
then they would have fully been able to see the seriousness
of the issue more than what they did
5. What people liked about the
documentary
A lot of the people questioned said there favourite part of the
documentary was the vox pops and the interview of the cyber bully
victim.
I think this is because they felt it gave the documentary more a
realistic feeling to it because it showed a victim voicing his opinion on
his experiences of cyber bullying. This showed the viewers the
seriousness of the issue and what the effects can be.
I think the viewers seemed to like the vox pops interviews because
similar the victim interview it showed the opinions of many people
and how they thought cyber bullying could be dealt with and gave
their experiences if they was any.
6. What people didn't like about the
documentary
A couple of people said that they didn't like the way how the
documentary gave little facts about cyber bullying and
thought more facts were needed.
They also said after the facts instead of starting the
documentary with voxpops that the documentary could have
started with an expert interview to se the topic more.
7. Background music
People thought that the background music wasnt
appropriate for the topic of cyber bullying. They
thought that the music didn't overpower the
voices on the documentary or distract them from
the documentary.
I agree with the comments because I think the
music was appropriate and fitted the
documentary because it was a calm instrumental
in the background so it didn't really affect the
footage in the documentary.
8. Expert interviews
People thought the expert interviews were good because they were very factual so
they gave a viewer who knew little about cyber bullying some common facts that
would make them realise that cyber bullying should be treated as a serious issue
and should not be ignored.
I agree with this because the expert interviews were decided by the group and a
lot of time went into deciding who we should interview and who would be the
most effective person to interview that could give a different insight on cyber
bullying. I think the interview with Paul Ashdown (the Solihull Sixth Form Principal)
was the best expert interview because he is someone who is knowledgeable in the
area of cyber bullying and gave his experience student that have been cyber bullied
and how it could be prevented.
9. Magazine listing (double page spread
People said they liked the use of colours, images and texts used on
the magazine. However the said the layout was simple and the
quality didn't really match the standard of the documentary and
thought it didn't really look professional.
The people questioned said they would watch the documentary
after seeing the double page spread because it was eye catching
and the images and logos looked interesting.
I agree with the comments about the documentary and think it was
not as good as the documentary. I think the main reason for this
was due to the lack of planning the group did and leaving it too late
before the deadline to start making the double page spread. If more
time was spent planning the double page spread and looking at real
double page spreads from TV magazine I think the quality of the
documentary would have been much better than what it was
because more codes and conventions would have been used.
10. Radio trailer
Majority of people liked the radio trailer, they like how there was
voices from the actual documentary in the radio trailer what made
it sound interesting .
Some People did not like the background music used in the radio
trailer they said the music was overpowering and it meant that they
wasn't able to hear some parts of trailer. They though that a calmer
background instrumental would have been better. All people
questioned did say they would watch the documentary after
hearing the radio trailer.
This shows that the radio trailer was good enough to want the
listener to watch the documentary so there was good things about
the radio trailer.
I agree that a more suitable background song could have been used
for the radio trailer which would have made it clearer and more
easier to listen to.
11. Conclusion
I think the audience feedback showed that the people
like all three of the media products and the comments
were predominantly positive.
I was not surprised by the negative comments, because
I think the group could have spent more time planning
and looking at real media products, which would have
made ours better.
I think as a whole the audience feedback shows they
responded how the group thought they would and that
there was a few things we could have done better but
enough was done to still make the media products
good.
