What have you learned through audience feedback?

Audience feedback has been important in developing our media productions for the projects duration. Initially, we used Survey Monkey to create a questionnaire, which we also printed out to get hard copies of questionnaires returned, asking target audience members about teaser trailers, genres and narrative which provided valuable feedback. You can read the full results of our questionnaire here. The questionnaire results affected our piece of work greatly as it influenced our decisions when considering our teaser trailer for our target audience. Specifically, our question on what the audience expected from a teaser trailer had two popular selected choices; ‘an introduction to the plot’ and to ‘feel emotion’. These are shown in our teaser trailer, our story shows the new friendship and then the change that develops and encourages the audience to empathise or relate to Mary, the character in our teaser trailer.

This is a copy of a document that I created which reflects a sample of our audience feedback.

We will consider this information when creating our teaser trailer.

Blog updates

I have made a few modifications to our blog which will help us with keeping track of time and gaining feedback from readers to benefit our project.

After recommending to the rest of the team to add labels to their posts, we now have a label cloud on the left of the blog where readers can chose to organise by labels.


Another module I have added is the subscription box which will allow our readers to subscribe to our posts and comments. This will be important to use the blog as a way of gaining feedback from audiences, specifically our target audience who will follow our production if the genre interests them.

I also edited the width of the blogger theme. Helena came up with the idea that we should have a countdown on the sidebar of the blog to remind us how long is left until the filming deadline is reached. She tried using the blogger modules available however they either did not work or did not record the time. So, I googled for a javascript countdown and after modifications I have created a custom section.
