    We interviewed four people from our target audience to gain feedback on our documentary project. Overall the feedback was positive - they felt the documentary was informative and balanced in portraying different perspectives on the topic. Some specific strengths mentioned were the use of cutaway shots and variety of interviewees. However, some noted weaknesses like lack of introduction and conclusion, and sound quality. This feedback will help us improve future projects by focusing more on structural elements.

    For our project to be complete what was left was to gain feedback from our
    target audience. This will help us understand where we have achieved what we
    have aimed for and where we haven¶t. This is a significant phase as it will
    inform us of how to improve. In order to gain this information, we interviewed
    four individuals that fell within the different categories of our target audience.
    We asked for the opinion different students who could observe our product from
    different perspectives.

    In the interview, we asked seven questions. The first question, ³c  


     
     
    
       
      3 provoked various responses.
    Some of our interviewees were left thinking about the serious amount of student
    debt while others were focused on the pos sible alternatives and, as one of them
    mentions, the existing µpressure to go to university¶. This tells me that our
    documentary has been succ essful at being informative and at attracting the
    audience¶s attention to the main topics explored . This also suggests that
    µaudience-attention-grabbing¶ techniques such as the one that the image below
    shows have been successful.

    The answers to our second question which is ³Has the content of our
    documentary in any way changed your original perspectives on the topic?3 ,
    again supports what we have learned from the first question in the sense that it
    has been informative and so hasn¶t changed their or iginal perspectives but have
    rather reinforced them. Partially, this is what we wanted to achieve as we tried
    to make it easier for our target audience to make a choice, however we also
    wanted to spark a question of an individual¶s current believe and so in this
    aspect our documentary might have failed to succeed.

    Question 3 was ³Has our documentary been successful at portraying a balanced


    argument?3 and the response was always positive as all interviewees outline the
    use of interviewees and cut-away shots that portray different perspectives and
    so the different sides of the argument which is exactly the kind of response we
    were aiming for.

    Then the feedback to the fourth question, ³Do you think that our documentary is
    successful at using the different codes and conventions of the documentary
    genre?3 told as that despite not having all the documentary conventions we have
    used plenty to clarify the genre. And the examples we found in the answers
    included: visual and text based features, cut -aways, voice-over, varied amount
    of interviews, but also the HCTV sign giving the idea of a µBBC news night
    documentary¶.

    Questions 5 and 6 intended to find out what were the strong but also what were
    the weak points of the documentary. The strong points, most interviewees
    agreed, were our cut-away shots because they included exclusive footage that
    was first hand, as shown in the two images above. Also one of our participants
    thought that the choice of speakers was the documentary¶s strength. On the
    other hand weaknesses were thought to be the lack of introduction and
    conclusion in the final product and moreover the quality of the sound.

    Overall, the feedback we have received makes me believe that we have


    achieved to reach topics and issues that our target audi ence is interested in. Our
    use of conventions has also made the presentation of information more
    engaging and thus more believable. Furthermore the selection of speakers has
    succeeded in making the product a reliable source of knowledge just like a
    documentary should be. And as question 6 showed that the participants in our
    audience feedback research would all recommend this documentary to others.
    However, the few criticisms have taught me that for future projects attention to
    the structure of the film should not be neglected.
