What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Ryan Soanes

Audience CommunicationI communicated with my audience in lots of different ways, one being, audience screenings and communication. At regular intervals throughout the project I would show my film to a group of people who matched my target audience and get there honest feedback on what they thought of the film and making changes as appropriate. This was a good method to gain audience feedback as it let mesculpt my final piece around what my target audience wanted.

Social Media (Web 2.0)I also used social media to help me gain audience feedback as this was another good technique, as we now live in a highly technological world, it’s a very useful method to gain true audience feedback.

Using Youtube I could look at the demographics and it would tell me who the main age groups and genders watching my video which was really helpful, and it came back as my target audience and a bit older, but also it was mainly males.

Social Media (Web 2.0)I also used other features in social media sites such as comments, on Youtube I was able to ask people to leave me comments about my film what improvements they would like to see.

I found this really useful as I was able to get feedback whenever I wanted and didn’t have to set up a viewing for my audience as they could do it in there own free time and it really helped me progress through my project.

ProgressionWith getting more and more feedback on both my ancillaries and short film I was able to edit it and make it more tailored for my target audience in the next few slides you can see how my pieces have adapted to match the audience feedback I got.

Short Film

I was told that my short film originally was too dark, so when I went out and re-filmed I chose much better lighting which made the film a lot better overall.
