Tuesday

Evaluation: Question 3

What have you learned from audience feedback?

Below is a short, documentary-style evaluation of the success and importance of our audience feedback to our main project.



Main points we were able to draw from this include how audience feedback has allowed us to:

  • Solve major technical issues
  • Alter scenes to present a clearer narrative
  • Discover which elements were most effective and which were least 
In addition to this, we also utilised audience feedback in the ancillary tasks. We were able to host our products in their draft stages on social networking site, Facebook. This allowed for comments to be made by any of the group member's friends

Firstly, the Movie Poster:

This is our first draft of the poster:
We hosted a feedback session amongst media students and recorded the session using WireTap. We received many comments, both positive and negative, from this we drew the following conclusions:
  • Unclear title, 'til Death' doesn't look like part of the title, matter of importance between the two parts. Change font
  • Authenticity of the costume does not match the film (wear a shirt!)
  • Great tagline, including detailing
  • Photography is good
  • Add noise/grain to the image SLIGHTLY
  • 9 out of 10


Next, we used Facebook to host a version and gain feedback from friends:






Using this feedback, we were able to produce our Final Film Poster:


Secondly, here is the draft of the Magazine Film Review:

Merajio Review Edit 1


This was also presented at the feedback session to our peers, they gave many comments and we planned to make alterations to our review:


  • Some bad/awkward aligns
  • Film title should be bigger font
  • Black 'border' line should be aligned with text
  • Align page number with website at the bottom of page
  • Colour-code the whole thing with just 3 colours (white, black and red?)
  • Change caption to something more realistic/positive and smaller font
  • Centre the magazine page title at the top of the page
  • Smaller indents in text columns
  • Good photograph



After making final alterations after the feedback sessions, we were able to present our final magazine film review:


Here is the audio file from the session and you can also visit the existing post regarding this session on the link below:


Ancillary Task Feedback Session



Overall, I believe we took advantage of any feedback we could gain and I believe it has been vital in creating the final outcome that we have achieved.
