What have you learned from your audience feedback?


When we finished editing our documentary we put our documentary on YouTube and a link on Twitter to get feedback and these are the comments we got:

The feedback was mostly positive, with comments on the camera work and how effective the use of the hash tag was and even that they would like to see it as a series on T.V. which was very positive! On the other hand we also received critical feedback about the camera quality. We knew the camera quality was not as good as it could of been, however we had limited resources camera wise, so all the feedback was helpful. We managed to get 155 over two days and 12 people have liked it.
We also showed our documentary to a group of students from our 6th form and asked for some feedback afterwards:
"I liked the way it was edited, very appropriate for this type of documentary." -Sami Knight
"I loved the editing on when the school bell rang and how that was the turning point from the introduction to the documentary"- Sara Pryce
"I think the camera quality could be a bit sharper in order for it to be more effective, but on the whole an interesting documentary" - Curtis Foster
"The music went really well with the whole documentary"- Joe Streeter
"It had some good camera angles but if I was to be watching this on T.V. I would be expect better camera quality"- Elle Slade
This was all also good feedback with positive and again, critical feedback about the camera quality which with the a budget like a real T.V. documentary would have, this would not have been a problem, however we had to use cameras provided to us by the school. Next time we could be more prepared and try and borrow a better quality camera.
Overall, if we were going to improve the documentary we would do so by using a better camera. Using social network was useful because it gave various open views and was a simple but effective way of sharing the clip with lots of people. Showing a group of people a clip and asking for feedback was also useful because it was directly from viewers that we know.
