Audience Feedback

We created a questionnaire to ask 18 people what they thought of our documentary, radio trailer and newspaper advert. They then filled in our questionnaire and we analysed the results that we recieved.


Q1. On a scale of 1-5 (1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest) rate the following:
Informative: 1- 0 people, 2- 0 people, 3- 1 person, 4- 13 people, 5- 4 people
Entertaining: 1- 0 people, 2- 0 people, 3- 2 people, 4- 11 people, 5- 5 people
Obeying the conventions: 1- 0 people, 2, 0 people, 3- 1 person, 4- 11 people, 5- 6 people

Q2. Would you agree that the newspaper advert is eye catching?
Everybody said they thought the advert was eyecatching
Some of their comments: They like the two sides of the body. However, they think the title doesn't stand out. They say its good that it makes people look and try to figure what its about. Also, the image is very striking

Q3. Do you think the sound levels are appropiate throughout the documentary?
12 people said they think the sound levels are appropiate.
5 people said the music is too loud especially on some of the voxpops and some people found it difficult to hear/understand the tattoo artist.

Q4. Would you say the mise-en-scene relates to the interviewee/ topic of the documentary?
Everyone agreed that the mise-en-scene relates.
Comments: It is relevant to the documentary and the background of Demi's interview reflects her personality.

Q5. Is there anything you would do differently with camera work or do you think it flows effectively?
Majority said it flows effectively.
Comments: Could have panned a little bit more. Continuity is good. Could have got shots of somebody getting a tattoo. Closer frames on voxpop. Lighting issues on some voxpops. Could be more creative. Good archive footage and camera work.

Q6. As a whole, would you say the editing and cutaways work well or do they need to be altered?
Everyone thought the editing and cutaways were appropiate.
Comments: Some cutaways are shown twice. Transitions work well between the cutaways. Cutaways are relevant with the voice over.

Q7. Do you think the music bed is useful throughout the documentary?
Again, everyone agreed that the music bed is useful
Comments: Some people like the way the lyrics doesn't distract the audience. Music made it more interesting. It suits the documentary. Its fun and creative.

Q8. Whilst watching the documentary, were you able to follow the narrative clearly?
Everyone said they were able to follow the narrative clearly and some people commented o the voice over saying it help stick the narrative/documentary together.

Q9. Does the radio trailer/ newspaper advert grab your attention and make you want to watch the full documentary?
Comments: Can't see the logo on newspaper advert, its too dark. They both make people interested in the topic. Advert is eye catching and the trailer is informative. The advert looks real and professional. The radio is more interesting than the advert.

Newspaper Advertisement Production

We thought that the t-shirt used in this picture was too iconic to be used and it may distract the audiences attention from the meaning of the advert.

The Images above are of the editing process to create our Newspaper Advert and it shows some techniques that were used to get the desired look that we wanted to achieve.

The images above are the images we took using a camera that would be transferred onto a person's body to create our Newspaper advertisement production.

Filming

The pictures above are ones we printed out to show the public. We would then record their reactions and use them as our vox pop. We also filmed another vox pop in which we asked "what do you think of tattoos?" and
this was used as our second vox pop.

We went to record an interview with a girl called Demi Smallwood who aspires to be a tattoo artist. She has already done tattoos on her self and her friends but one day wants to become professional. We chose to interview Demi for these reasons as we thought it would make for an interesting interview which it did. We asked her many questions, which she answered well. When we planned the interview we where going to have her sitting infrount of canvas's in an Art class room, but when we got there she had some of her own work set up, which we sat her in front of instead. We also filmed he tattoo equipment, including the needles and inks, and she explained how it all works, which we will use as cut aways. Other filming we got for cutaways are her tattoos and piercings.

We went to interview a tattoo artist where we asked him questions about his career, and filmed where he worked. We also got to film the equipment he used to do the tattoos.
We encountered a problem when interviewing the tattoo artist which was that the mise en scene behind him showed the edge of a doorway which could not be seen through the viewfinder. This means that we will have to zoom into the recording a little bit but it will affect the quality of the recording.

When we filmed our opening titles we faced a few minor problems. These included the person moving a tiny bit and would not be in the same position throughout and also it was time consuming as we had to record each letter on its own.
