Audience Feedback - 15th December 2009

Audience feedback is an integral part of improving any production and it is something I have used both to help fine tune my final production and to evaluate it in hindsight picking up on any mistakes I would have rectified were I to redo it.

For my first couple of edits I formed together a focus group of students in my class where we each compared one another’s pieces and reflected upon them suggesting improvements. This was useful as it enabled me to judge how my piece was received as well as identify area’s which needed improvement

From the perspective of evaluating my piece post production, I uploaded it onto YouTube and posted a link both on facebook and the student room to attract viewers and their comments. These comments would help me understand how my piece was received and indentify the good and bad traits in it.

Here were some of the comments I received:





These comments mainly reflected the views of the focus group and my own views that the dialogue in places was too fast. It also gave me an insight into the positive reception my piece has received giving me the confidence that I have produced an entertaining and informative piece that also educates, the purposes of documentaries ad the charter of the BBC.
