1. Audience feedback Adam Andrade
In order to gain audience feedback, my team and I had come up with questionnaires
to ask our target audience whether or not they have found our social action project
useful or not along with what we could have done to improve it. Our results were
satisfying as we had expected due to our effort in meeting the brief and piecing the
footage together. We had received a lot of positive feedback with just one or two
minor corrections. One questionnaire had mentioned how our social action project
was straight to the point with our message we were conveying along with great
camera angle shots. We had also tried to ask the target audience a few personal
questions and opinions such as “Do they take care of their health?” or “Do people
spend more money on fast food rather than groceries?”.
These questions were based on what we had come across in our production to make
sure our audience understood what we were talking about and what we were trying
to prove. Furthermore, every person we had asked if our project had now made
them want to be more physically active, the response was the same which was ‘yes’.
This ensured one of the attempts of our project which was to motivate our audience
to become active on wanting to be fit rather than just taking in information. Other
positive feedback was given as we had been given information on how our audience
now understand the importance of health and fitness along with why do other
people do/don’t keep a healthy/balanced diet.
One suggestion from part of the audience’s feedback was that they would have liked
the project even better if we had talked more about food and their negativities, for
example, their ingredients and how it affects the body. Apart from this everyone who
had interacted with our project enjoyed it along with the humour we had presented.
For example, during the McDonald’s scene where the man eating the burger said he
only bought one burger takes out another after finishing it. They also had enjoyed
the end of that part when later the man being interviewed says “Don't judge me.”.
This line was very powerful although some people don't notice. I say this as in reality,
when one person sees another person eat a lot of food, we judge them for being
greedy and ‘fat’. However, no one knows about the other person, for all we know
that person might want to gain weight purposely or just has a big appetite but high
metabolism.
