What have you learned from your audience feedback?

One of the most important things you can gather from feedback on a whole is that you can gather a different perspective, for example as it is my own work there were things that i could not see initially due to a bias opinion. Gaining feedback allowed me to see these faults and rectify them.

In a project such as this it is very important that you know what the audience want and to give it to them, after all, it is them you are aiming to entertain. Therefor if i did not get the feedback that i received, my outcomes would have turned out awful.

On a more specific note, there were vital aspects of the Teaser Trailer that were only put in because of audience feedback. For example the blue vocal line, (audio graphic) during the phone call was only entered because the feedback said that it looked too blank without it. Instead of that there would have been about 40 seconds of just a black screen so the feedback was correct when it said there needed to be "something on screen".

Also in the film the Fonts in the cut scenes would have been suited for a film of a different genre;


Also it was because of the feedback that we put some Production company logos into the film, once again to fill space on the screen during the phone call.
(The different screen shots of them can be seen below)

When it comes to the magazine there was initially a lot less text on the page, and the font was a lot more "Amateur" according to feedback. The feedback also stated that the image of the axe was too small and should be enlarged. So that's exactly what i did. I made the image larger, added more text, i.e. films to promote and edited the font to make it seem more professional.


















The poster was a slightly different story all together. The final outcome of the poster is very similar to the first draft. The only differences being minor ones such as certain names in the text at the bottom and certain effects on the title/actor names at the top. Even though they were only minor changes, they were still because of Audience Feedback. I think that this establishes how much i have learnt from audience feedback and shows how important it is to a project like this.
