2. HOW DO YOU THINK WE’VE TARGETED OUR AUDIENCE OF
YOUNG PEOPLE?
This question was designed to address if our audience would be
able to see in what ways we have targeted our audience.
From their feedback, we learned that through Eleanor, the
documentary being predominantly footage of teenage girls
(which is what we intended their purpose to be) the audience
could identify our target audience of girls aged 13-18+.
3. HOW EFFECTIVE ARE THE FACTS ON THE BODY IN
STOP MOTION?
This question was asked to find out if the facts through Stop
motion had more of an impact on the audience and were able
to read it and take it in. From their responses of ‘yes’ this
question has been a success.
4. DO YOU THINK MADDY’S INTERVIEW SHOWS THE
STRUGGLE OF ANOREXIA?
In this question we wanted to know if the emotions of Maddy
could be seen by the audience and thus her words have more
of an impact on them. This question was a success and their
feedback showed they could clearly identify Maddy’s strong
emotions.
5. DO THE FILLERS USEFULLY SHOW AND CONNECT WITH
OUR MAIN PURPOSE (HOW NEW MEDIA AFFECTS
ANOREXIA) WHEN MADDY WAS TALKING ABOUT THE
INTERNET?
From this question we wanted to know if the audience could identify
the fillers as internet/new media related during Maddy’s speech
towards the end of the documentary. This question was successful
as from their responses of ‘yes’ they could see the fillers of
media/internet imagery relating to what was verbally being said.
6. HOW COULD WE HAVE IMPROVED OUR
DOCUMENTARY?
This question was straightforward and for us just wanting to know if
the audience had any suggestions on improving it that we could
take forward on our next project. Such as in Miss Gregory’s
interview she used media terms our audience would be
unfamiliar with. The terms in our interview could of been given a
basic explanation so the audience could understand and be
educated at the same time.
This question however also answered if the audience were focusing
on the documentary’s context or the problems with it. There
wasn’t too much feedback on this, so the question was a success
as it showed people were focusing on the documentary.
7. OVERALL, DOES OUR DOCUMENTARY INFORM YOU
ABOUT THE DANGERS OF SOCIAL NETWORKING?
This question what designed to let us know if we successfully raised
the awareness of the audience about the power and dangers of the
internet (social networking sites etc). The feedback told us that this
was achieved through our use of facts and figures and showing how
social networking sites such as Facebook have an impact that is not
often recognised.
8. DOES THE SOUNDTRACK FIT IN WITH OUR
DOCUMENTARY?
From this question we wanted to find out if the audience
recognised the purpose of the P!nk song and that the lyrics
had a significant relevance to our documentary. Their positive
feedback confirmed this.
9. DOES IT FOCUS TOO MUCH ON NEW MEDIA?
Through this question we wanted to know if there was a balance
between our combined topic of new media and anorexia. The
audience feedback told us that there was enough on anorexia
however could have focuses a little more on Facebook as its
a social networking site predominant in teenagers lives.
10. POSTER QUESTION FEEDBACK:
•our audience could identify how the poster targeted teenage
girls as I had hoped (through the colour pink, using a model the
same age and through the use of the girly stick figures in the title)
•the focal image as I’d hoped draws the most attention, however
the title I think have to fight for attention and could of been made
bigger (which the last question, ‘can you suggest any
improvements’, confirms)
•our audience could identify one link between the documentary
and poster which was through using the same model.
11. REVIEW QUESTION FEEDBACK:
•Their initial feedback showed that young adults would tend to
read it, however in later questions they re-phrased and found
they wouldn’t because it was more text, ‘maybe less text’ and
agreed that they would rather hear it of through opinion
leaders. This establishes that the review achieved its target of
being more of an academic, text heavy review.
•The review appealed to them through the stereotypically pink
which Ellie expressed and the rating was agreed fair and
could of been 5 out of 5.
12. FEEDBACK FROM INDIVIDUALS:
The individual and group feedback was similar, however below and some differences in
feedback:
Confirmed that the documentary was very informative on anorexia and the topic was dealt
with in a way that didn’t overwhelm the audience. This was our aim as we wanted to only
inform and raise the awareness of the audience of the dangers of the internet on body
image and hopefully spread this awareness.
The documentary was a good length, short enough, but still enough context to keep the
audience interested.
Confirmed the documentary is suited for an art-house cinema as we had expected because
of its niche topic.
It was clear the documentary’s mood was becoming more positive towards the end of the
documentary which we had intended through choosing particular footage.
The individual footage confirmed that the review could be identified as for older more
academic, intellectual audiences (with teenage daughters to hear about it from them).
The dispersion effect link between the poster and review was identifiable.
