Education: Questioning the Quality Evaluation Question 3

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

As part of our research and planning for our documentary, we created a

questionnaire to find out what different peoples preferences and ideas were

towards making a successful documentary. We found out different opinions on

aspects such as entertainment factors and what channels to put the documentary

on. Following the discoveries of the previous questionnaire, we created a

documentary based on the overall preferences of the people that we asked. We

decided in response to our final documentary and ancillary tasks, we would create a

second questionnaire to find out the feedback from more people that we showed

out documentary. Overall, we let 18 people view the documentary and participate in

the questionnaire, with the questions we asked outlining aspects to the

documentary, double page spread and the radio trailer.

Documentary

1. Do you think the documentary relates well to the subject well? Reasons.We asked the students of which we showed our documentary to whether the

subject related well. There was a mixture of answers that the majority all said which

included:

- Yes, there was a good variety of shots- Yes, the montage made the documentary more interesting- Yes, the use of a good location was very effective- Yes, interviews were professional and informative- Yes, there were lots of facts about the subject

These answers overall were generally positive for this question, with no people

thinking that the subject didnt relate well. This would be an area, which we

wouldnt change.

2. Does the documentary use the normal conventions of a documentary?

When we asked this question it was fairly clear that

everybody thought that our documentary used the normal

conventions seen in professional documentaries. This is a

good sign to show that we created a professional looking

documentary.

3. What do you like most about the documentary? Explain.When we asked this question, again there were a variety of answers, which

concluded the positive parts to our documentary.

- They like the formal interviews- They liked the montage- A good use of special effects- Music was catchy- A good variety of shots- The documentary flowed well

Overall, we were very pleased with the positive feedback from the questionnaire.

This gave us an idea of the area we didnt need to improve.

4. Does the music work with the documentary

When we asked if the music worked well,

overall people did like the music, however

there were 2 people that didnt like it. This

shows that the music choice wasnt to

everybodys taste but most people did like it.

5. Do you think that the shots were processed well?When we asked if the shots were

processed well, we were very

surprised with the results, as

everybody thought that they were.

This helps provide evidence to prove

that our documentary flowed well

(Question 3 answer). I feel that theshots were well processed and

worked together.

6. Is the voice over clear and concise?

When we asked if the voice over was clear

and concise we were pretty pleased with

the results. 16 people agreed that they

were clear, however with the 2 people

disagreeing it does show that maybe there

is some room for improvement on the

voice over.

7. Is there anything that you dislike about the documentary?We decided that we would ask to see if there were any problems with the

documentary. The general problems that people had to do with the documentary

were:

- Quality of the found footage was lacking- Camera sometimes panned to fast (dizzying)- Speech sometimes too quick

These reservations that people had to do with the documentary are all valid for

things that we would improve next time. I do agree that the found footage wasdefinitely of a lower quality and next time we would improve it.

8. Has the documentary taught you anything new?We decided to ask this question because we wanted to see if the documentary was

actually informative, which is what we set out to do in the first place. The general

answers given were:

- Schools choosing what students they want if they are an academy (popularanswer)

- Information about academies- The change in exams- Behavior policies in schools

These answers are exactly what we wanted to hear, this showing that the

documentary was informative. This also helps show that the audience were

interested in what was being said.

9. Are interviews/vox pops well framed?When we asked if the interviews/vox pops

were well framed, all but one of the

answers was positive, meaning that we

dont really need to worry about the

framing. I personally think that the

interviews/vox pops were well framed

apart from one of the vox pops, which

had a little too much dead space above

the person.

10.Were volumes consistent?

It was a mixed set of results when we askedif the sound levels were consistent. The

majority of people thought they were good,

however, with 7 people disagreeing, we

would definitely check over the sound levels

next time to make sure they were perfect.

11.Do you think it was a good subject to use?We think that the subject was a good

choice to use as only 2 people thought it

wasnt out of a possible 18 people. We

think that its down to some people

having a lack of interest in the subject.

However overall people did like it.

12.Are there any suggestions on how we could improve?We wanted to ask this question because we would like to find out how we could

improve if we ever made another documentary in the future. The overall responses

were:

- Dont play the music all through the documentary- Turn music down-

Get better footage of David Cameron- Make it more up beat

If we were to improve our documentary, we would definitely look into making

these improvements next time, especially the footage of David Cameron because

it did come across as being very blurry in the final product.

Double Page Spread

1. Does the magazine feature the normal conventions of a television magazine?When we asked if the conventions

were like the ones you would see in

a normal television magazine,

everybody believed that they were.

We were very pleased with the

results for this question.

2. Does the double page look appealing?We were also very pleased overall

with the response to this question, as

all but 1 of the people liked the look of

the double page. This was very

positive feedback, which we are veryproud of.

3. Does the double page convey enough information?When we asked if the double page gaveenough information, the results showed

that everybody thought there was enough

text. This was really good feedback, which

gives us confidence that the double page is

to a good quality.

4. What do you like most about the double page spread?We wanted to ask this question because we wanted to work out what people

thought were the best parts of the magazine article. The answers given were:

- Followed the conventions- Colourful- Liked the ripped paper- Photos- The layout was good- Professional Look- Everything- Informative

We were very pleased with the large array of responses that the people gave

because they said pretty much everything on the double page spread. The mostpopular answer being the colours used. As we based out magazine article on Whats

on TV we aimed to have bright colours to match their theme.

5. Is there anything that you dislike?As we had asked what things that the people liked, we also wanted to ask if there

were any faults with the product. The answers that the students gave were:

- Colours- Too much writing

Because a couple of people said that they didnt like the use of lots of colours, it

shows that some people dont like the vivid look of these types of magazine. One

student stated, that they preferred the look of a more formal magazine like the

Radio Times. However, our magazine was supposed to look like Whats on TV

magazine, so the broad use of colour is down to personal opinion.

6. Are there any suggestions for improvements?We thought that we would also ask this question to see if there were any parts ofthe magazine we could improve for future tasks. The suggestions they gave were:

- Change the colours- A better main image- Change the yellow masthead

These changes would be easy to make the net time around. The general reservation

with the double page spread was the broad use of colour. Maybe next time we could

try basing our double page on a more formal magazine.

Radio Trailer

1. Does the radio trailer make you want to watch the documentary?Most of the people that we asked if they

would like to watch the documentary

from the radio trailer advertisement

said that they would be interested in

watching the full product. However,

after seeing that 4 people disagreed, it

made us want to investigate as to why

they disagreed.

2. Are the sound levels constant throughout?When we asked if the sound levels were

constant, we had more positive outcome

for the levels compared to the levels in the

documentary, however we still had 4

people disagree, which makes us think

that they still need a little tweaking.

3. Does the music work with the voice over in the radio trail?We used different music in our radio

trailer to the documentary. Overall

compared to the music in the

documentary, the students actuallypreferred the music in the radio trailer.

The music used more synths to make it

sound more modern. We believe that

this is a better choice because its more

current. The people in this question

prove this.

4. What do you like most about the radio trailer?

8/8

We decided to ask this question because we wanted to find out what the students

liked the most about the radio trailer. It will also help for future reference because

we then know the factors that we got right. The answers the students gave were:

- Sound Levels- School Bell noise used at the beginning- Music- The extracts were clear- Informative

Its interesting to see that the people liked the sound levels because in question 2 a

few people disagreed. We were overall very pleased with the results, especially the

how one person liked how informative it was, which is what the radio trailer was

designed for.

5. Do you think the extracts give enough information about the show?We really like the positive feedback

that we got for this question, as it

shows that the radio trailer was

successful at advertising the show.

Along with the overall positive feed

back from the other questions, it

shows that we have a decent radio

trailer.

6. Is there anything that you dislike about the radio trailer?We also wanted to find out what people disliked about the radio trailer to make sure

that we didnt make the same mistakes for future projects. The answers we recorded

were:

- Too many interviews- Music a bit loudBoth of these dislikes we found were definitely a problem we would like to improve

if we did the same project. The loud music seems to be a problem throughout the

documentary and radio trailer. This gives us good reason to keep a careful check on

the levels on both products.
