1. Appeal to audience
Class Feedback
The class felt that my documentary appealed to them as an audience not only regarding the
topic itself but at how I tackled the topic thereby informing and educating them. They also
expressed that it clearly showed that it was targeting those aged 16 -19. It was however
argued that I could have had a range of different responses from the females’ point of view
which I agree with totally. It didnot really register with me at first because my topic is mainly
male orientated, maybe if I tackled anissue relating to both genders it would have been a
priority to me.
Teachers Feedback
My teacher felt that my documentary appealed to the audience that I justified in my
treatment and would appeal to those on a national scale. I agree with this statement totally
becausemy intention was to appeal to those interested in my topic. The fact that it would
appeal to those on a national scale was justified by the use of expert interviews.
Furthermore, they emphasised the fact that all those featured in my documentary were
cricket expert wouldalso create general interest in the topic and would mean that people
will be interested in watching my documentary.
Own Feedback
I think my documentarywill be successfully appealing to the target audience explained in my
conduct. However, after carefully analysing my documentary, I believe I should haveused
Sixth form students opinions as well in my documentary in order to make it biasedand
would’ve had more variety of different ethnicities as well.
Place in market
Class Feedback
It was expressed by the class that my documentary was a USP itself purely because it is a
topic that has not been focused on in too much detail by any other mediums. They came to
conclusion that this has probably been the first documentary to focus on what I focused on.
Furthermore, they also said that it was good how I looked at both sides of the argument and
of how I incorporated the issue of why cricket is been a game of mixed ethnicity at
professional level at school level it’s been segregated amongst young people in my

2. documentary. What was the most insightful response I got was that I included quite a lot of
information from all aspects of the topic whilst not losing focus. However, in terms of being
suitable for the channel 4 or ITV 4, it was expressed that due to the lack of different
ethnicities featured in my documentary it affected its suitability. I agree with this statement
to a certain extent as I could have had a variety of different ethnicities through more
voxspops but I realised it too late so I tried to include some variety through the
archivefootage used towards the end, but I do understand and agree with this statement.
Teachers Feedback
My teachers felt that my documentary was unique in the way in which I looked at
segregation of cricket at school amongst young people from different angle. I agree with this
statement because I saw the niche in the market and tried to exploit to the fullest. Referring
back to the appeal to the audience, they did feel that it might not have place in the market
because of the fact that it does not appeal to everyone.
Own Feedback
After watching and analysing my documentary I think that it has a place in the market
because theargument regarding segregation of cricket at school amongst young people has
grown. Therefore a lot of people will be interested to watch the documentary and will
definitely have a place in the market.
Conventions
Class Feedback
The class felt that I successfully demonstrated a range of different conventions in my
documentary. Iagree with this statement because I think I could have clearly shown
thedifferent ways in which I used the conventions. Moreover, they agreed that the choice of
music wasgood and helped contribute the style and tone of the documentary. I agree with
this but I tried tofind suitable songs to create a specific atmosphere. However, I chose
specific songs particularly toreflect the points expressed in the documentary.
Teachers Feedback
My teacher argued that I showed the general conventions of a general documentary,
however, the main aspect of my documentary that stood out to them was the vast amount
of archive footage used. I agree that the amount of archive footage could have
beenminimised but I think I should get credited for the way in which I edited the footage

3. throughout the documentary playing close attention to how it was used in relation to the
voice over. What I believe to be the best feedback was the fact that I didn’t demonstrate a
variety of different camera shots and angles. I agree with this simply because it’s true. There
were minor attempts to demonstrate different shot types at specific times of documentary
but it clearly wasn’t enough.
Own Feedback
After watching my documentary I think that I demonstrated the general conventions of
interviews, voxspops, and the use of archive footage but I did not explore the creative
conventions. The feedback I got regarding the archive footage was really good so therefore,
only regret not experimenting with different camera techniques because it may have had a
dramatic impact on my final grade. This is not to say that I didn’t try to experiment with the
camera but I just felt that it looked sticky in relation to the whole documentary. I wanted it
to be professional and simple.
Use of Technology
Class Feedback
The class felt that I used the editing programme, Final Cut pro, effectively to produce a
creativedocumentary. They paid close attention to the how I carefully monitored the sound
levels betweenboth the music and the voice over. I agree with this statement because I
wanted to ensure that the voiceover was mostly heard and that the music at a level to
create an atmospheric effect. Onanother issue, they felt that I used Photoshop effectively as
well to produce good logo for my documentary to represent what my documentary was
about.
Teachers Feedback
My clients focused closely on the way in which I edited my footage especially regarding the
voxspops, interviews and archive footage. I totally agree with this because I think the
editingwas the bestaspect of my documentary. I wanted to reflect the characteristics of my
topic regarding its tempoand reflect it in my documentary but maintaining a fast pace.
Own Feedback
In my own opinion I think that I demonstrated a good level of technological use in my
documentary.It was shown in many ways, by the use ofrecording of the voice over, the
editing of captured and archive footage and interviews. Referring back to the archive

4. footage, I think that it was good how I implemented and incorporated different examples of
archive footage.
Improvements
Class Feedback
After the class watched my documentary they suggested that since it focused on
segregation of cricket at school I should have involved students from SixthForms. I agree
with this to the fullest because I was too focused on getting cricket experts to feature in my
documentary that I forgot about getting other possible contributors surrounding the topic. I
think that it would have helped increased the overall appeal of the documentary thereby
allowing it to be suitable to be broadcasted on the channel 4 or ITV 4. Furthermore, it
wouldhelp justify the other argument investigated in my documentary.
Teachers Feedback
One improvement suggested by my clients was that there should have been a clear
difference between those who were interviewed and those who weren’t. I can understand
why this may have been said because I used the exact same shot types for the voxspops and
the interviews. However, Imust disagree because when I first showed the rough edit to my
teachers they felt the same way but Iam 100% certain sure that I introduced my
interviewees clearly in my final piece. I used the archive footage, Voiceover and ashton to
introduce every interviewee; I don’t think there could have been any better way of me
introducing them and the interview.
Own Feedback
What was brought to my attention after watching my documentary was that I could have
had amore engaging voice over. Even though I recorded the voice over, I think that those
who watch would have got bored. On another note, I think a possible improvement could
have to be the exclusion of Sixth Form student’s opinion because if I had more Sixth Form
students in my documentary for thatparticular purpose then it would have been my unique
selling point.
