In conclusion i would say that most people thought that our media documentary i produced how it is meant to be produced and it looks like a professional documentary.


Q2. Would you agree that the newspaper advert is eye catching?

Everybody said they thought the advert was eye catching and it was good how you had to look closer at it to understand the meaning of what it it representing.
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 appropriate throughout the documentary?
The majority of the audience found that the sound levels were appropriate for the documentary where as a small minority thought that it was not appropriate. Overall the sound levels were very good and they seemed to flow well within the documentary.
12 people said they think the sound levels are appropriate.
5 people said the music is too loud especially on some of the vox pops 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. This is good feedback as we now know that it relates well with what we were trying to portray with everything that we created.
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 which means that they ubderstood what was going on throughout the documentary and they must have thought the camerawork was creative enough for what was being expressed.
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 appropriate so overall they thought that the documentary runned very smoothly and everything was appropriate for the topic of the documentary.
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 as it helped to show the audience that this type of musics links to our topic of the documentary and it is something that the people involved in the documentary would listen to.
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 on the voice over saying it helped to stick the narrative/documentary together as if it were glue.














Q9. Does the radio trailer/ newspaper advert grab your attention and make you want to watch the full documentary?

Overall everybody agreed that our 2 promotional texts were eye catching. With the print advert, they had to look closer into what the picture was trying to show and when they looked they would realise they had tattoos on one side and nothing on the other side. The radio trailer, made the audience laugh with one part of it which drew their attention to the rest of the advert.
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.















We took pictures of our audience whilst they filled our questionnaire out and these are shown below:



























































I also Recorded a mixture of video and audio clips of the audience giving feedback about the documentary, Radio trailer and the Print advert. These are shown below:












We also uploaded our documentary onto facebook to receive further feedback from our target audience. These are some of the comments we received:






















We also uploaded the documentary onto youtube where it had 133 views but it only received 2 comments which both seemed to be an honest opinion of what they thought was wrong and what was right.




Overall i would say that the audience who watched my documentary enjoyed it and found it both very entertaining and informative although there is some room for improvement which was shown in the audience feedback.
