Question 3

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Mainly, our audience feedback has taught us that appearance is key! By showing a group of teenagers (our target audience) all three elements of our production (video and two ancillary tasks) we learnt that we needed to make some changes to the features of our work that, originally, were either too unattractive or boring! We knew straight away from a short questionnaire, that required feedback of positives and negatives relative to our work, and the feedback received that things had to change. With the presentation of our work to the members of our class we were confident with what we had produced but it was made evident that, if the audience isn’t happy, we shouldn’t be... Thus leading us to the realisation that audience feedback is a very important element that we must strike hard at to give the audience exactly what they want!

The strongest element in our project, that seemed to be mutually agreed, was the theme of playing cards, interlinking an Alice In Wonderland feel to the pieces. When asked if they were able to establish a link between the three elements, our feedback from the audience showed that they all liked and could identify the cards from the offset! Another thing that my partner and I learnt about audience feedback is that it today’s society, it is very easy to gain on a larger scale. Social networks have made a huge difference in the kind of people we can contact (e.g all over the country) but also the amount of people we can contact at once!
