evaluation question 3
TRANSCRIPT
Throughout the research and construction stages of our media products we regularly gained feedback from our target audience as this helped us in deciding how to make our trailer, poster and magazine better and look more professional.
The feedback we gained was very helpful as it allowed us to change things to make them better. Also, this helped us see what our target audience wanted to see in this type of genre of media products.
Feedback for our trailerAishah: ‘The beginning of the trailer is too jumpy the cuts are too fast paced’ This feedback allowed us to re edit the start of the trailer to ensure that the edits were not as quick and direct as before, therefore we have been able to make the transitions much smoother.
Feedback for our trailer Aishah: ‘The intertitles which say an unmissable
blockbuster go by too quickly and are not really necessary as something else could be used in their place to highlight the actual storyline.’
This audience feedback helped us a lot in the editing of the trailer as we were able to change the intertitles and instead have them saying things like ‘all she wanted was to marry the man of her dreams’ This allowed us to show what each main character wants out of their lives and how they aim to achieve what they want.
Feedback for our trailer Shanita: ‘The editing throughout the
trailer is good however the scenes themselves could perhaps flow better’
This feedback was very helpful as we deciding to make the scenes shorter to ensure they flowed better and explained the story more clearly.
Feedback for our trailer Elisha: ‘The voiceover could be
improved or taken out as it seems unnecessary’
This feedback was something which we found many of our target audience said, therefore we decided to take out the voiceover as it was not needed in the film trailer as we used the intertitles more effectively to explain the story more clearly.
Feedback for our trailer
This feedback showed us that the editing of our trailer did not make the storyline clear, therefore we changed the editing to make it flow better. In addition, this feedback shows that a sub genre of romance could be made clearer.
Feedback for our trailer
This feedback that we gained also highlights that our trailer needs to be edited more clearly to show the relationships of our character more clearly.
The changes we made to our trailer after getting feedback… We made the transitions smoother in order
to make the trailer flow better. We changed some of the clips we used in
order to show the storyline better. We changed the way in which the
characters were introduced and portrayed. In the end, we deciding to focus the trailer
on Aaron rather than confuse the trailer by looking at both Aaron and Kiran’s storylines.
Feedback for our posterThis feedback which I got shows that the image is good and the placement of it as a whole is what a poster of this genre would look like.
Feedback for our Poster Shanita: ‘The white writing at the
bottom isn't very clear and perhaps the poster could’ve included all of the main characters.’
This feedback was helpful however, we decided to keep the image as it was due to the fact that is shows the romantic side to the film more as the magazine is able to focus more on Aaron.
Feedback for our Poster
This feedback shows that our genre is not made clear, however, this is due to the fact that we contrasted the genre for the magazine to highlight the Bollywood side of the film and for the poster to show the romantic side to it.
Feedback for our poster This feedback shows
that our poster contains a good image and placement of it and also includes good font sizes and styles to show the title of the film.
The changes we made to our Poster after getting feedback… We changed the text as we had too
much information on it. We changed the font from the original
poster to make it easier to read.
Feedback for our Magazine
This feedback shows that our magazine is good as it contains the appropriate font styles and sizes and has a good image.
Feedback for our magazine
This feedback also shows that our magazine is effective in portraying our film and shows that it has been done well.
Feedback for our magazine Aishah: ‘The text’s line spacing is far to big and could be
made smaller, also too much information is on the left hand side.’
This feedback was very helpful to us as it allowed us to make the line spacing smaller and move the text around to make it look more professional rather than looking cluttered. After changing our magazine we asked for feedback again and this time people liked the magazine much more as they felt it appealed to the target audience much more. ‘I like the colours used they red titles matches Aarons
outfit very well. The image also relates to the image very well.
The changes we made to our Magazine after getting feedback… We changed the image which we had on
the poster originally, we changed it to a photo of our character playing Aaron in order to focus the trailer, poster and magazine on Aaron and his storyline.
We changed the writing on the magazine as we reduced the line spacing and also, changed the placement of the text in order to make sure it didn’t look too informative.
