1. Question 3
What have you learned from your
audience feedback?

2. Feedback from Facebook

3. The overall feedback we
received was that this print
advert was very interesting
and eye catching. They said
the image links well to the
topic, the documentary
and the radio trailer.
However a few people
have said that the image
looks odd and that it is
clear the image has been
flipped which makes the
advert look as though
there is too much space on
one side.

4. Feedback from YouTube
From all of the feedback we
received for our documentary, it is
clear that people found the
documentary informative and
factual. Our framing and camera
work was praised frequently. The
overall opinion that the products
together work well and look and
sound professional.
However, a main negative was the
sound levels. A lot of people said
that they needed to be more
even, even in the radio trailer. This
is something that could have been
easily changed and in the future it
will definitely be a priority.
Another issue raised was the
lighting which in some areas was a
lot more dull than others.

5. Feedback from Focus Group
We designed and created a
questionnaire for our focus group to
answer after watching our
documentary, listening to our radio
trailer and viewing our print advert.
Our focus group was made up of a
variation of males and
females, between the ages of 16 and
25 years.

6. We had to take photographic evidence
of our focus group:

Question 6 Do You Like The Documentary?
All 12 of the participants said that they liked
the documentary, this shows that we have
Yes largely ensured our documentary follows the
No codes and conventions of a documentary but
also that we did our best to target our
audience.

9. For question 7 we asked ‘Is there anything that you think could be improved?‘.
A major issue was the sound levels, particularly in the music beds and the voiceover. In a few points
throughout the documentary, the voiceover was much quieter than the music bed. For example in the
song ‘When I Grow Up’ played, it was a lot quieter than all of the rest which made it difficult to hear and
make a link. Some people suggested that we made the cutaways longer or slowed them down a little bit
because it was difficult for them to fully view and understand the meaning and link. Moreover, some
people felt that the documentary would be more professional if the argument was not so single
sided. They felt that the documentary looks more at the negative side of tanning as opposed to the
positive.

10. Question 8 Would the radio trailer persuade you to The majority of our focus group said the radio

documentary. They said the music bed linked
well to the documentary topic and that it was

and so said that the radio trailer would not

highlights the choice of advertisement being an
issue because some of our target audience do
not listen to the radio.

11. Question 10 Would the print advert persuade you to watch The main reasons for people wanting to watch
the documentary? the documentary after seeing the print advert
was because that the print advert is very unique
and eye catching. Audience feedback shows

makes you interested in what the documentary

will be about. However those who were put off

said the image was scary and off-putting.

Overall the audience feedback tells us that even though there are a lot of good
aspects about our products, there are also many other aspects that could have
been improved to make them all more professional and fitting.
There were some minor issues such as cutaways not being long enough to
be properly viewed, but it is apparent that the main criticism throughout is the
voiceover and sound levels. The majority of our feedback led to the conclusion
that the voiceover is slightly boring and monotonous and also that the sound
levels were not equal.
