Audience Feedback

When getting feedback from my audience, I first prepared a questionnaire in order to gauge how people felt about specific parts of my documentary. I then handed out the questionnaire to mainly members of my target audience, and a couple of people in an older age group, in order to gain a wider opinion on the texts.

Documentary

1. Was the content of the documentary relevant to you?
2. What comments can you make on the audio in the documentary?
3. Do you feel that the visuals of the documentary made sense?
4. Did the documentary hold your attention?
5. Is there anything that could be improved on in the documentary, to make it more interesting to you?

Radio Advert

1. Was the audio clear?
2. Did the radio advert flow?
3. Did you like the music in the background of the advertisement?
4. Was the voiceover appropriate?
5. Did the audio flow well throughout the advertisement?

Print Advert

1. Was the poster clear?
2. Did the advertisement show the theme appropriately?
3. Do you feel the colour scheme was suitable?
4. Was the image of the poster suitable for the documentary and relevant to the theme?
5. Was the poster eyecatching?


After giving this questionnaire out to 15 people, I got relatively positive feedback, from which I understood many things. For example, all participants felt that the documentary was relevant to them; even the 2 people I had asked outside of my target audience. The documentary was universally commented positively on, and was said to make sense and hold viewers' attention. If there was anything to be improved on, it was commented on that the audio could be clearer and flow more smoothly.

In terms of the radio advert, it was said that the audio was not very clear, but the audio content was good - interesting, but could be clearer. Otherwise, it was generally agreed upon that the voiceover was appropriate to the theme of the documentary. The music was said to be interesting, but some questioned it's relevance to the documentary.

The print advertisement was widely commented on as appropriate and relevant to the theme. The image was said to be eyecatching by almost every participant, and it was commented by some that it was entirely appropriate and a clever link to the main documentary.
