Evaluation- Question 3

What have you learned from your audience feedback?



This is the interview of a member of our target audience:

Evaluation Question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Evaluation Question 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products ?

Video Entries- Participation

We decided as a group for our evaluations to create video entries for each of our questions as our characters in the trailer. We felt that to get good marks, we had to be creative in our evaluations and it was agreed that we would film each question in a location that the character relates to the most.

This was decided between Harry, Michael and Robin as Jack was not in school when the decision was made. We then proceeded after school to message Jack and tell him of the idea and if he wanted to do the same thing. He decided though that he would like to take a different approach to his evaluation. We were fine with this and gave him the opportunity to take part with what we were doing. We used facebook to ask him this question and then spoke to him afterwards to make sure that he was sure about his decision.

We are posting this to just make sure that it is seen that we didn't disclude him purposefully from the group.

Evaluation Style

I have decided to complete my evaluation question in the form of a video entry, as the character that I portrayed in the trailer, DC Summers. I decided to do these entries in a location that would portray this character, which is where he met Toby. I did this here in particular because it is one of the most important parts of the trailer and what happens in this scene leads to what happens further on in the film/trailer.

Feedback Questionnaire Results

These are all of the responses from our audience feedback questionnaires. These are really important as they show us what parts of the trailer need to be improved. This also shows us their ideas which we could find to be very good and work within our trailer.



We wanted to make sure that we chose the right target audience and that they enjoyed our trailer. If the results from the teenagers and young adults we received back were negative, then we would feel that our trailer wasn't successful.

We also asked people who weren't in our target audience for their honest responses of the trailer as well. We did this because we wanted to see if people of other ages liked the trailer, as when we constructed this, we didn't feel that they would as much as our target audience.



The people in our target audience gave the best responses over the people who weren't. This is what we expected and we are happy with this as it shows that we have met their needs as an audience. Even because of this, they aren't completely happy with the overall product and we know that the best way to improve the trailer is by asking them the key questions and them giving their honest opinions.



The main parts which our audience felt that we should improve was the use of camera angles and costume. We as a group will now look into these throughout the trailer, look at the feedback and decide what is best to do.

Audience Feedback Questionnaire

This is the audience-feedback questionnaire that we have created. We will send this out to 5 random people and we will show the answers to see what we can do to improve. We picked these specific questions because we feel that they are the elements of the trailer that we want to hear from our audience about. We also think that these will give the audience scope to give responses more than other questions that we could have picked. Once we have received the answers back, we will construct the answers and see what they thought of the specific and important parts of the trailer.

Magazine Cover Creation

We decided to do use the main protagonists of the film for our magazine cover, as we feel that the cover needs to show the characters in the film which are the most important and will create the right message for our trailer and film. The two characters that we have used are DC Summers and DC Curtis, along with the Drug Lord. This shows DC Summers and DC Curtis arresting the Drug Lord. Once we took the picture and uploaded it onto the computer, we played around with different effects to see which would look most effective. These are 4 we looked at using:















We then chose the style we felt looked best, and started to add onto the picture. We then transferred the picture onto Microsoft Word, where we added in text boxes. We then used the title format on Microsoft Word and used Doctor Atomic because of this. We then chose our title and inserted it. This though showed us a problem as the title went over the top of DC Curtis' head. We then decided to cut out the image of Robin's head, and then post it again in the same place, but just over the top of the title writing.













We then had to decide what other information we were going to include on the trailer. After looking at existing covers and our deconstructions, we discovered that giving away prizes was a big part and this enticed the reader even more into wanting to read the magazine. We then decided on a big prize, entered the picture onto the cover and created the competition. We felt that this feature was extremely important to include as it means the audience will want to win the prize and will also read the magazine.










We then transferred the whole cover onto Microsoft Word and saved it. This then meant it would be easily transferable. Overall, this was intriguing for us to create as we could improvise with effects and text, and this meant we could come up with a successful magazine cover.
