3 - What have you learned from your audience feedback? - Ellie Lovatt

When we first agreed on the chosen plot we were going to go with, we wrote it down and created a questionnaire to which we presented to various members of the public. We did this questionnaire in two ways. The first was an online questionnaire we created on Google Docs of which various members of the public answered the questions themed around our plot. These were the results.



Another way of discovering audience feedback on our first draft of out plot was doing a face to face interview and recording our findings. We asked the same questions, yet found we got more genuine results when the audience were put on the spot. These are the results.

Throughout this initial research it gave us the opportunity to let the public scrutinize any problems they may have had with the plot and helped us develop and better our original plot into one we were happy with and one we knew our audience would like.



After clearing up any problems and changing anything that wouldn't have worked with the audience, we managed to create and export a final film we were happy with. We then created another questionnaire for the audience to complete on our film to see what they liked and disliked, which again gave us another opportunity to fine tune any other problems that may have been found. One problem was the sound at the beginning that without audience feedback us as a group wouldn't have picked up on. We feel as though the audience feedback has helped us make our film reach a higher standard and achieve a better quality.

Using digital technology made obtaining audience feedback a lot easier than doing it manually. It was much less time consuming and allowed us to get more feedback than we would have done originally.
